Sweet build. It looks very nice. Quick question, what lengths were you able to go with for the Associated titanium turnbuckles? I want to replace my stock ones, but want to make sure of the appropriate lengths as I too want to use RPM ball cups through out, where I can. Thanks! They are a set of Fa...

This question was asked on this thread before, but I didn't see if anyone answered it. Does anyone know what paint is the closest the boxart on the box? I assume tamiya probably has a color close to it. Hmm ?? Neither look exactly like the box art colour http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z198/Snoo...

I just finished up mine but it just a shelfer now. It will become a runner once the aftermarket parts start poping up.

I am now subscribed to this thread as I'm so interested now.

Sweet ride, I love the milled motor plate. Is there anyone on the forum that mills motor plates on the side for other members?

As of right now I'm looking at the final drive ratio of the T4.2 on a 17.5 which is
7.50 - 75t spur and 28t pinion
The closest I could get to that with what I have is a
7.53 with a 87t spur and 26t pinion
Once I run it on the track I will adjust depending on the motor temps.

No problem

I'm just bought a roller and am going to build mine similar to yours and race it this winter. Can you share your shock spring, oil and piston setup? Thanks Well I haven't run it just yet. I'm still waiting on my shorty lipos to come in and the body to arrive. But what I have started with is the T4....

That's one thing that hasn't changed about AE even after the buyout by thunder tiger. They will always take care of you and rectify the issue to problem.

This looks really clean rcpitwork. What wheels are those?

Thanks guys and I have to give credit to GreenHell as his awesome build inspired mine. Thanks

Now this is just an observation I made while looking through one of my re-re's this morning. The pan, front nose and motor plate all have a different shade of gold anodizing on it. Has any one else noticed this on theirs. The pan is the lightest and motor plate is the darkest. Oh and it's very noti...

I will be replacing the ball cups with some of the new black low friction one's as these white RPM's rub a little up front on while steering when the suspension is compressed, unless i can figure something else out.
