All Andy's bodies came signed like that.

I haven't did much on this project. Although I was able to get some black arms in.

tonight I had a little bit of time so I started to build this truck. I bought a set of black rpm arms and planned to use them until i saw these beauties on epay. It's a set new era aluminum arms and I polished a few days ago They look like a piece of jewelry

Here it is so far

What if i made the chassis standoffs from aluminum and stripped the shock bodies and polished them. would that get the balance right?

Now you're talking! I've been looking forward to this project for a while. BTW whatever happened to the Rough Rider re-do?

The rims you showed will help tie the aluminum arms in as well. Looks Great!

Rough rider redo is on hold right now. when I first had the parts annodized, I mistakenly had them annodize a set of the short fronst suspension tubes. When I recently had my RC10 parts done, I included a set of long tubes but ended up breaking the middle tube while polishing it. So I'm waiting to meet up with a local member to do some horsetrading on some parts so I can get a center annodized in red.

Your right the rims will tie it more together. I'm still debating whether to use the mesh wheels or modify my last set of tecnacrafts to fit an RC10T

Dude, you got the magic. What ever you do will snap, crackle and pop.
You are the man...

That does sound good with the alum stand-offs and polished shocks.
