yellow tubebuild

Post by popboy905 »

Another runner, i just don't know when i will get around to running it. This started out as black trimmed chassis i received from a parts lot and bailing out on doing a OIN build and using some of the parts for it. So i ended up with a rpm conversion with dynotech arms

i had the chassis powder coated yellow. i asked for them to toss it in when they run safety/florescent yellow, but got a bright yellow instead. I still like it and it will work with a body i have
pg2.jpg
Dyno tech front and rear arms
A&L steering
A&L chassis brace. Whoever i got the chassis from trimmed the chassis low and drilled some larger holes and cut out for a large servo saver

I should have done the motor plate yellow but i simply just forgot about. Here are a few more of it coming together:

i went with the houge bellcrank instead of the A&L, the fluorescent A&l didn't look right. One thing i noticed is i have to go back and clean some of the hardware. I also added these yellow springs, who knows what rate and what they are, they matched so i went with it

I'm liking the color combo on this build.

Those front springs might be the softer yellow ones sold by RPM for the World's front conversion. You can still order them directly through RPM for a few bucks. :wink:
