that's probably who did my nip purple associated shock caps.

I thought Lowery was the only one fruity enough to anodize everything purple?

The one giggles posted is the one I was thinking of, thanks Jason

The other looks like a re anno to me


Ha Ha, he's lucky he's in basic

The seller told me it is an A stamp chassis that he drilled for a stealth tranny but it is new.

i ordered those shock caps from a place online. the black ones had just the 4 digit part number, the blue had the same 4 digits but with a b at the end. well, these had the 4 digits followed by a p. curiosity kicked in and i ordered some. when they showed up, sure enough, they were purple. they were in the factory packages, but they had been opened carefully, the caps were anodized purple, put back in the packages and restapled.

badd boyz in the early days did that. repackaged their stuff with the original associated header cards. later on they made their own header cards, and they came with decals.

i still have my b2 with the top plate, battery brace, and rear tranny brace.
thing sure handled much better than the carbon pieces on the clay. car felt more stable through the bumps and corners. steering was more responsive.

That is a very nice looking B2

thanks mike. i still throw it around a track. just changed the shox to threaded units.

Looks like the RC10 was a re-ano to me...

I have a blue anodized chassis/motor plate/nose plate set from AE. I bought off of AE's Web site a few years ago when they had a big clearance sale of RC10 chassis and 1.6" wheels and tires. Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact date.

I bought it because it was REALLY cheap (I think $20 for all 3 pieces and the wheels were stupid cheap). Also, I had never seen a blue chassis before that wasn't painted or powder coated. I always thought I would find an old RC10 somewhere (which I did) and it would need a new chassis.

I would like to see the picture but that link doesn't work.

Here ya go, and I will say this this is the 3rd time I have heard the same story about the AE closeout blue chassis/nose/motor plate , gonna have to make some calls http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=12715

That blue car looks sweet. That would look great with all my world car parts on it.
