Re: Pink RPM Truggy
That looks really good Doc, I am building a purple one and since I suck at painting I am having some major issues with the chasis. I have painted it and stripped it 3 times cuz I think it looks like crap.

Re: Pink RPM Truggy
More pre-xmas photos, here is the arrival of the RPM tranny and parts thanks to Mrlexan. I just need the bearings for the tranny!
BTW have they made the RPM truck tranny less white? I am not impressed with its off white look!
Tranny and miscellaneous finishing parts.

Help I need a tranny!

Body kit to be mounted. Sienbelech!

I will finish this asap.
Enjoy!

BTW I don't know if you know, I might be confused by what you wrote, but this is a factory pink paint job.

Re: Pink RPM Truggy
marui is new to the site, but a fine fellow. actually marui the pink chassis is highly desireable, so if you get the chance to pick one up one from the "old parts bin" at your LHS, don't pass it up.
LOOKS GOOD DR. Let me know if you need anything else.

Re: Pink RPM Truggy
Getting nicer and nicer Ed, I would say your battery will tend to hang around inside the tub with that Pure Tech strap set-up, I'll hopefully find that damn color picture with the check scheme shell '10 this week-end

Well as you asked I would like to find some colour matched paint to touch up the chassis. I went on http://www.combicolor.co.uk/?action=colourselect the national Rust-oleum distributors website and they don't seem to have a Fluoro pink, can you provide a US link or something?asashaw wrote:rustoleum ? i know i spelt that wrong... has a wonderful flourescent pink that perfectly mathces the original pink chassis... its a perfect color match!

They only had green, blue, orange, red, yellow, on their website.
Mine probably would too!marui hunter 73 wrote:i just know my mates would laugh at it

I just threw the electronics and battery strap in as a mock up and would need to drill the chassis a new hole to accept the battery strap and am not sure I'll do that tbh.Asso_man! wrote:I would say your battery will tend to hang around inside the tub with that Pure Tech strap set-up, I'll hopefully find that damn color picture with the check scheme shell '10 this week-end
I can't wait to see that pic though Asso_man! *fingers still crosssed*

Yes but I think the Pure-tech battery strap requires two holes to secure it each side.wts873 wrote:The tub dosent have the holes for the front batt. cup??just threw the electronics and battery strap in as a mock up and would need to drill the chassis a new hole to accept the battery strap and am not sure I'll do that tbh.

Re: Pink RPM Truggy
Even using the rear holes on the puretech strap you won't be able to fit in a current stick pack...I had the same problem on my siebenelch car, it even has extra holes drilled forward in the chassis...Dr. Robotnik wrote:Yes but I think the Pure-tech battery strap requires two holes to secure it each side.wts873 wrote:The tub dosent have the holes for the front batt. cup??just threw the electronics and battery strap in as a mock up and would need to drill the chassis a new hole to accept the battery strap and am not sure I'll do that tbh.

Go with a classic battery cup if you're gonna run it.
