So much RPM goodness
Sure is a strange looking one piece center link
I can’t imagine the level of anxiety when it comes time to start grinding away on the trans case and arm mounts….
Yes, lovely pieces of plastic. So strange. Lol
I have actually traded my RPM center link as I decided to go a different direction on the steering. Yeah, grinding new pieces is always tough, but the end result should be worth it.
I think MD was just noticing that the package labeled for a center link looks a lot more like a nose skid plate.

OH wow! I never even noticed that. I've had that part for at least 3 years and that never caught my eye. It's definitely been repackaged I guess. Luckily, the part looks perfect.
I don’t know man I’m thinking that mini bumper has had that header card since day one…. Not seeing any other staple holes in it. The true tell will be if there’s more holes in the bag.
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out

I looked at it closely. The header card and staple appear untampered, but there are staple holes on the plastic bag, behind the header card. It must have been repackaged at some point.
I can't remember where I bought it, but as long as the part is perfect, I am happy. Good eye!
I have all the parts I need for this build, but I haven't had the motivation to get it started. I also love having all these parts NIP, so it's easy to let it sit. Once they get opened, you can never go back.
I had to get a correctly labeled RPM front bumper, lol.
I have nearly everything I want to build it. I am just trying to choose which electronics would fit best. I have all the parts NIP and it's hard to start tearing them open.
Today I received one of the last parts I have been hunting for this build - a grey MIP battery pad. I'm not sure why but I feel the grey color will look great on this car.
I'm still not sure if I will actually make myself break open all of the rare NIP parts I have collected for this build. I always thought it would be cool to somehow mount all of the NIP parts in a display of some kind.
