I think it's done (Part VII)

[Rolex]

The skids are from rc-mall on eBay. I've removed the center one and now have a center skid from Fast Lane Machine, since I added their lowered and extended TVPs.

sweet thanks man.

Looks great! Don't forget the video of you running it.





BTW: I see some leftovers of purple! On the carburetor and gasket.

Yup, that's all that's left. If anyone knows where I can get the carb bellows in black, gray or yellow, let me know. The manifold gasket shouldn't be a problem.

Would this do the trick?

I'm not sure what block the 4.6's are though, so I guessed a .21.


EDIT: Never mind. The 4.6 is .28.

 

[Rolex]

Wow, thanks ohmygahitscoby. I never thought I'd be able to get the manifold gasket in anything but black.
Not sure of the fit on the bellows.
I did find the gasket for the 4.6 in flourescent yellow, but they're on back order. As far as the carb bellows, it might be the same size on the carb.

 

[HeartBreak]

Rolex, you could probably try a bellows from a Picco carb. I can't see why it wouldn't work.

 

[Rolex]

I'm heading to HobbyTown in a little while to look for the biggest body available for the extended chassis, so I'll check out bellows while I'm there.
So far, the XL only has the pickup body, and I don't want anything stock.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

You could probably get a stretch limo body LOL. Did you ever find your manifold gasket?

 

[Rolex]

I drove stretch limos in NYC for years. If they made one, I would have it. If they made Cadillac or Lincoln car bodies, I'd buy 2 and extend it myself.
I'm sure I can get the manifold gasket at HobbyTown. I'm heading out right now.

 

[Rolex]

Well, HobbyTown only had the gaskets in orange, and no bellows. I did, however, pick up a new lid.
It's the 1/8 scale Gravedigger body and it's huge! It's 21" long and the extended Savage is 23" bumper to bumper.
I won't be doing the green color scheme or using the decals, so they'll be up for grabs. It's basically just a really cool, old panel truck.

 

[HeartBreak]

You may have to resort to getting a bellows from Nitro House. Give them a call and they're more than willing to test-fit them for you, while on the phone.

 

[Rolex]

Thanks, HeartBreak, I'll give them a shout.
BOUTCH has claimed the Gravedigger sticker sheet. Hold your calls. The competition has ended.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

So Rolex. How's the Savage? I really want to see how it looks.

 

[HeartBreak]

Yah, I wanna know how the hunt for a non-purple bellows is progressing.

Worst case, I'm pretty sure you could probably dye it.

 

[BullDog]

Nice shiny parts. But wheres the dirt?

Rolex doesn't like people making fun of his shelf queen!

 

[BOUTCH]

Rolex doesn't like people making fun of his shelf gueen!

Ya i second that...

 

[NCNitro]

Yeah buddy, better watch out or Rolex will smack you with his duster.

 

[savon]

It's done, but now it will never even be ran, and on the side of the body where it says ' nitro burner ' it should say " dust collector "
