I need to make a few more parts out of g10 fiberglass in gold. Might make some aluminum parts and get them gold anodized. Ive been thinking about setting up my own anodizing station. I might design some custom front end suspension at some point as well. But for now i will make the few pieces i need out of g10 and die the associated white parts gold and see what they look like. I think i will put chrome parma wheels on it. I wish i could find gold tires (rims) for it. Some technacraft rims would be sick but i cant afford those.
Didn't bolink have gold wheels on some of theirs? Probably rare tho
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
actually a set of Jakes wheels re-anno'd gold would look great on it. If not re-anno'd maybe shodog's trick with the tamiya gold transluscent paint on the centers to make them look like tecnacrafts
Looks good so far.

I can agree to that. I usually add one custom piece with skulls to each one of my vehicles so it never looks over done. but this time i figured i would make all the pieces for a vehicle and make a one off custom machine. I didnt think about the over board effect it would have. but im just going to roll with it lol. it will be fun to make it either way
Them all Although none of them would suit my 10L particularly well as it's graphite with the active caster front end. I do like the look of the aluminium nerf bars in one of your other threads though, they'd look cool on mine.
I think the whole thing looks awesome! Love the skull prints all over the chassis. I would go for a set of aluminum nerf bars too if you decided to make a run. Can't wait to start on my 10L. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

If i do end up making a run of those i will send you a PM or post it in the B/S/T section under ebay.
thanks for the comment guys. I enjoy messing with this stuff on the side. a few months ago i would have had this project finished inside of a week or less but the sun comes out in the summer and i spend all my time playing outside instead of inside lol. This thread might be slow but will def. be updated as i go.
or
I just got this in the mail today and i am starting the rebuild and restore today.

Thanks. Its gotten some serious laps in at the local track. My son runs the white G-10 one. Its the slowest one I have. When he gets his hands on the other ones he can't keep them under control. I call him CRASH lol.
Hi all, new to this forum. Been racing on and off since early 80's, and I just picked up a rough gold pan because it was cheap, and I had a itch to get some of my old vintage cars I used to have. I had a new 6000 kit when it first came out, and many...

this is just a test run. :D In the future i will be making them out of BLUE G10 and the 69 will not be cut through. This was a mistake that i fixed.
I will also be designing some kind of battery strap holder that i am dreaming up in my head. Still...
After deciding to go ahead and build another gold pan with most of the remaining parts I've collected over the past year, here it is. :lol: It seems everything I've put together so far has used only silver and gold details. I've really made it a...

Mike the painter and skull racing, there is a blast from the past. In my peak racing years age 14-16 he and skull were the local hotshots. If I recall dominating the A mains at a couple tracks I used to go to. I think they had some national level...
