Yup and I have no issues using new parts bought from the original manufacturer either.

Although I do have 1 edinger tire in good shape... only one though so no use unless I three wheel this and THEN people would be pissed!

I remounted my vintage BRP wing today, I had to move the holes over 1/4 inch each which left two ugly open holes... so I used a decal and covered them

I tossed on some wheels and tires that had a bit more bite then the stockers. If I had a body and spur cover it would be a complete car!

Did you already trash the EDM body that was on that car? That center section has me scratching my head.

That was my team car with the EDM, It was sent out to someone else however so I don't have it anymore.

I got the bare aluminum tub back to mark out and drill some holes and it looks like 1/2 inch longer wheelbase.

Chris

Well as I posted, I received my t2 chassis back so I could pre-drill some holes before anodizing, they still need countersunk but Go says that's not a problem. I was able to do another dry build of it. That silver is almost tempting to leave it that color!

I moved the battery mount back just shy of 1 inch drilled mount holes for the rear bulkhead and forward part of the rear arm mounts and trilled two holes for the stealth transmission to mount. I am going to need to build something similar to a graphite car's rear motorguard. Overall I think it's less then an inch total extension, but it looks one step more modern then the old tubs....

So how about gold anno for the tub?

Chris

The gold isn't very pretty. Orange isn't too bad. Copper looks good. Black covers the best tho.

Here are some color samples if you want to switch it up a bit!
Gold


Orange


Copper


My favorite...purple

PURPLE I like I like !!!!

Nuuuu! No Purple for me! Too much purple in the 90's

Closest I would do would be blue..... but this one needs to be black (with polished edges )

Chris

I LOVE the purple...but I agree. Black is just classic. The black is slightly less shiny than original but looks great. Here is one I did in black recently

Perfect!



Chris

I think the purple looks good. The black is a classic look too.

Bad picture.. but

From


to Big improvement! Need to buy some new battery boxes and body mounts however...

Chris

That's one nice transformation. Looks great

Better pics, it and my cleaned up 10t next to it. Both need battery cups, the 10t also needs full hex rod ends and lower rear shock parts while the Team Car needs body mounts.
