Blue Thunder; The blue Javelin

[optiman]

Well here is my next project; "The Blue Thunder", the blue Javelin.
Will feature full black anodized or carbon fiber chassis(have not decided yet) with blue parts and a blue cage, possibly alloy anodized in blue.
It will have a Le Mans 480S blue motor, blue AE B4 shocks and alloy blue wheels that need to be purchased.
More updates later, most probabbly next year

At least one of your builds needs carbon and I find blue anodizing goes best with Carbon, as may eventually be demonstrated with my "Turbo Optima Mid Evolution" project

You are right, anodized blue and carbon fiber is a killer combo. So I ordered the carbon parts from Fibrelyte and ordered the blue annodized wheels from ebay.
After placing the order with Stephen from Fibrelyte's I noticed that he actually dont carry the shock towers for the Optima. I really want everything possible made of carbon and I have seen those carbon shock towers before, so the question is; Where do people get those carbon fiber shock towers from?
Or do anyone has a CAD for those towers? I could do the CAD myself but I am in a tight spot right now in respect of free time

Merry Christmas!

If he doesn't have the shock towers on file you can always send him a pair and he will do a drawing and make them. You would probably want to do the turbo towers rather than the MKI towers

Which wheels did you get?

Also you may want to consider alloy wishbones like the Pargu ones anodised blue for an extra touch

I sent him a pic of the towers, hopefully he has the files already.
The wheels and tires I bought are these(attached pic), they will look nice with the build and look different than the Green Monter's.
The arms are a good idea, but I dont want to go "too blue" if you know what I mean. I think is important to keep a balance between the black's and blue's, dont you think?

PS: Has anyone here has had any experience with Pargu? After placing the order on his site I did a little research on his service and the results were not encouraging. Apparently the shipping time and communication is in the negative side...

[Naushad]

Pargu is actually very good.

He's been selling for a long time.

His English is not great so that may partly explain communication issues.

I've ordered several parts from him. Top quality and good value for money.
