Breast Cancer Buggy

Post by craigc8791 »

Ok guys and girls, I know its a couple of months off, but I was going to build a Pink and White buggy for Breast Cancer. So far I am thinking a White Powder coated chassis, nose plate, motor guard, with hot pink nose mounts, a arms, etc. The body would be white with the Pink Breast cancer logo on it and will say something on it about "For the cure." Now this is where all of you come in, I know Losi make PINK colored rear shock springs, but does any one know of a company who makes PINK colored front springs? I am open to any suggestions on what yall think. Thanks -Craig

I think this is a great idea! Are you going to auction it and donate the proceeds?

I could powder the chassis and parts in white or pink if you're interested.

Great idea. Not sure on the springs but if you need any white parts to dye let me know. I'll donate some to the cause.

You could always go with white springs too. Tamiya makes white springs. I'm in Italy but I could paint a body for the car if you want.

Losi orange front spring are the same as shortened pink rear spring. Just cut a few turns so they are equal length. You have pinks already around the rear shocks.

This is quite an interesting topic.

I actually have a full set of fluoro pink parts for a buggy, though some of the parts were trimmed post dyeing, so they might need some touch up.

let me know if you are interested, I'll put some pics up when I can (day or so). I'm willing to donate them if I can trade up for a coupe of small parts that I would need replaced.

I have:

front arms, c-hubs, front bulkheads, axles
shock parts (collars, cups, ball joints, and I think even the bushings)
trimmed battery cups
rear arms, mounts, rpm hub carriers
stealth case
ball cups
I think I have body mounts also.

the bulkhead was mangled, so I don't have that.

I have a set of non-fluorescent pink front wheels also.

I'll put some pics up ASAP.

Here is a pic I took, I forgot I had it, (I had this stuff in the B/S/T section awhile back). The bulkhead is in rough shape, someone took a heavy grinder or something to it to take off the battery cup and did a terrible job. I was going to try and sand it flat and dye it black and use it in an application that doesn't need a cup. There is also a pink dyed stealth case, with the small plug, but missing the 3 motor plate standoffs, the wing mounts, and battery strap, and I also have a 64 pitch Magic Motorsports spur gear, but it's more of a soft pink.

You can see the arm mounts were trimmed after dyeing. The rear arms also have a couple places that may or may not be easily seen (I think inboard near the bulkhead), and the stealth case has the seam trimmed where the motor would go, ie, if the motor was in place, you wouldn't see it.

Anyway, let me know if you are interested, I can donate them, but I am looking for a couple parts to replace these for a project that would have used this stuff:
-rear arm mounts any color to replace these
-a set of B4 rear hubs(going a different way if I don't use this stuff)

that would be cool if I could swap this stuff with someone.
