Is that an alloy chassis Mark?

You thought about getting alloy top plates made and powder coated? Mmmmmmmmm

MHeadling 20-02-2014 07:48 PM

Hi Griff, yes it's an alloy chassis, came with a car I bought a while back, interested to see how it handles with this on.

Yes alloy top decks would be nice, or maybe hydro dip the kit carbon ones?

Shifta 21-02-2014 10:13 PM

Looks great!
I have a new pair of blue alloy servo mounts if you're interested?

GRIFF55 22-02-2014 08:22 PM

Would yoke white ball cups fit? Be nice

xfactor 22-02-2014 09:27 PM

No ball size is different, I fitted white yokomo ends on my tamiya gen3 in show us your vega, you will need to change ballstuds to yokomo but well worth it............. white spur Mark come on...........:D

MHeadling 23-02-2014 09:50 AM

Cheers for the suggestion Griff, shame the yokomo ones won't fit, as I've spent a fortune in flurocarbide balls (oooeeerrrr!) I'll run the tamiya ball cups.

Got a RW white fitted Xfactor, just to make you happy! ;)

I'll post up a pic later, it's nearly done

xfactor 23-02-2014 11:34 AM

Now we talking white spur.........:D

SiR_Dave 23-02-2014 04:19 PM

Can't wait to see it all done up:thumbsup:

MHeadling 23-02-2014 05:54 PM

White spur as promised!

The crush and driveshaft spacers turned up from Vellrip , only took a week from Singapore

Fitted proper 511 turnbuckles as the 22 ones a touch too long, servo, lipo ane motor in as you can see.

Esc up next then time to go racing!
