So RPM discontinued the 70272 right after I tried to order some.
I had to go to another supplier, so I ordered 3.
To my surprise I got an unexpected gift.
Not sure if i will use them for this build or not.

Picture...

Still did not get my RPM parts.....taking longer than I thought.
Here are the custom nose tubes and front end I did yesterday.

Small Update
Hopefully I get my RPM parts in the mail and I can continue the build today.

Nice bikes
Thought I would post mine. Built it a few years ago.
24" S&M .38 Special Cruiser

Here is an update. I had some time to build the transmission.
Had a VXL slipper clutch in, but the dust cover did not fit so I put in the original.
I will use the VXl on my SRT build when I get to it.

Yes hex up front. The graphite has also but hex are not in the picture.

Yes Castle (5700), but I don't like how the ESC fits under the body.
The ESC would be better on the rear shock tower because of the height of the heat sink.

For my other build I am not sure what to go with yet but Speed Passion looks like they have a blue ESC that will fit nice.

Mine is already going to be Hex. The graphite one I did is also.
I can share wheels between the two.

A guy I work with has a mill and did it for me.
I just got my bearings in the mail today so I should be able to get a start on this build.

yes it is powder coated.....flat blue.

Thanks

deanodized and then polished.

Got lucky on this one off craigslist. All I had to do was get the dust off of it. Just looking for parts to complete as I find them. The worst thing about this car is that it was in mint condition until the person I got it from tried to run a brushless setup in it. It looked like there were extra ho...

Yet another project I have in the works.
I need to decide on shocks and order some parts from RPM and I can start this one.
This is probably going to replace my graphite runner.

Runner but I am in the process of building a new runner.
This one might make it on a shelf after I clean it up.
