It's no airbrushed work of art, but it's my first polycarb rattle job.

 

[MudSlinger33]

I'm speechless! Nice job man, it looks amazing. Now the hard part, getting it dirty. :whhooo:

Which dogbones are you referring to?

Which dogbones are you referring to?

The very first pic in this thread. Those are not going to stay put no matter how hard you try.

What motor mount have you got?

 

[jk6672]

That dog bone problem went away when I changed to the RD racing knuckles.
I have a New Era engine mount kit.

 

[HPI-Killer]

Oh my god that is the nicest Revo I have ever seen, I hope I can make mine turn out that nice in the end. Great job!

 

[2revo1maxx]

That's cool, I've heard alot of good about those carriers.

How do the shocks work with those turnbuckles atached to the rockers?

It's part of the sway bar kit. He just replaced the ones that come with the kit with those red ones. They are attached to a lil spring. If I'm not mistaken

I put my Tekno battery/RX and servo mount on chassis. I also decided to do a little modifications to the RX box. It’s still a work in progress, I still need to fill in with some JB weld and sand is smooth. Here are some pics.

painted roll cage orange, and picked up some white a arms to dye orange.

Keep up the good work, glasshoppah. Soon you'll be as fanatical as me. :whhooo:

Dyed my A-arms orange today and installed steering servo and servo horn:

Yowzersssssss.
The first one is amazing. Nice and all black with the subtle red here and there. Superb job.
On to the next one and already starting with a nice black and orange theme.
Can wait to see the final results.

 

[jk6672]

Yeah, I’m anxiously waiting for some parts I sent off to be anodized orange. I can't wait to get it together, Total orange and black theme. Orange tranny, and a picco 26 JL ret dot.
