well................ya, but i hadn't really planned on that. it's just where the body ended up sitting when i moved the nose plate back.

What are you using to "re-anodize" the cut edges...A orange highlighter?... :?

I've used those to fill in scratches on the orange/gold chassis... :wink:

ya, and orange sharpie. it's not perfect, but when the car's together, it doesn't jump out at you as much as the bare aluminum did.

hmmm... I know that Krylon makes an "anodized" paint finish in a few different colors. I've see the blue in use, it's pretty darn good.

I'm reading all these replies and am wondering why don't you get a Sand scorcher chassis and drill the holes to mount the RC10 components to it?
