Diggn' that purple.

First time I took the time to polish the pieces first. Really helped it out. It's going to be hard to decide on white or black components. I had some 8-32 locknuts done too, wanted to see how they would turn out. They are perfect. Going to order a couple hundred more nuts and have 50 or so done each color to help get to minimum orders.

Very cool . Is that Don's work?

I have all of the purple trinity hardware for that, who ever's it is

Had it done up the road I have never paid more than a shop minimum and they are very accommodating to my batches of work. I had a bunch of black done and split it with another member. They also did my gold optima and brown rc10.

I'd call it the Purple Nurple build. That looks friggin' amazing!

For some reason it reminds me of Cool World. Also Dick Tracy.

That chassis has me salivating.... it reminds me of this;



Looks like a good match for Schumacher 'Purple'.... would like to get my Cougar Works chassis re-done one day.

Are you going to high light the edges?

my first order from Tower Hobbies, after paying UK taxes and handling fees (grrrr !)..
