"technicolor vomit" graphite car (updated)

Post by templeofspeed »

I can't wait to build a runner out of this:

I think the "Dirty Girl" body will be perfect for this one!

Cheap and poorly listed. 8)

I don't think even your talents can make a stocker out of that :lol:

If it's going to be dyed, it's going to be bright! :P :P :P

We'll see what the chassis looks like before any sacrifice is made. Maybe I can flip the chassis for a couple hundred dollars... :lol: :lol:

Well, I wanted to see how complete the "parts lot" was, so...

It needs a trans, I'd love something dyed blue, pink or yellow. Just need the cases. Can go stealth or six-gear. Could trade for slightly yellowed white on either type. I'd prefer a stealth as it's a team car.

Hey Temple, I sent you a Pm about tranny halves I was just wondering if you got it. If you responded its not showing in my in box. My regular email says I have a new PM but its nowhere to be found so I don't know what happened. I have a black T2 tranny only the halves if you want to trade for something.

The T2 trans will not work on a flat chassis... I'd really just like an ugly dyed set of RC10 stealth tranny cases. This might not even be relevant anymore, I'm thinking of going brushless with this one and will just use what I've already got. :wink:

RCChick, I got your PM, but don't need any T2 cases. What bearing are you needing? They're not all that difficult to come by.

Totally! 8)

A yellow tranny case would be perfect.

My choice in a brushless system has not been decided yet, but I'm planning on dusting off the old M8 and doing some racing this fall/winter and it seems that BL is the way to go.

Alright...'hoopty never came up with the yellow tranny cases, so...

After the build of my B44 roller I decided to do something with the Technicolor Vomit car, or at least the chassis (It's got nine extra holes). I stripped down my built from new parts "Factory Team :roll: " Graphite car and added a set of RPM arms and transmission, B3 wheels and shiny MIP B2 CVD's. Nothing on it is irreplaceable, so getting hammered by (or hammering :twisted:) kids with Brushless FT B4's isn't really a concern...to me. :lol:

Viola my new modified class buggy:
