The blue machine!!

[c@in]

Here is the blue machine that i have been working on for some time now.

This is when we first bought the truck. Bad condition.

Stripping down and cleaning.

And a little more.

We cleaned all the parts then we moved on to the chassis.

Got the chassis powder coated

Put it all together and you get this...

Before and after

Nice job, love the custom powdered chassis, nice touch. Truck looks so much better before/after!

Truck looks great.
But did you really dye those nice white parts

[c@in]

Yeah i agree the white looks good but i couldn't get white arms so i died eveything black, and i am pleased with the results.

Looks good, I dig the powdercoating

[c@in]

The colour is blaze blue for anyone wanting to know

Just an update to the blue machine. Now have electronics in. Running 17.5 speed passion motor with hobby king speedie. Does anyone have a good gear ratio i could use.
Now waiting on a body. When i get it i will do another update.

Nice T, i like the color..but the powder coat might give you some temp issue on the motor as it does not aid to dessipate
Heat from the motor plate.

Just a thought though, always check the temp during operation.

Cheers.

the powder coating looks great. I like the black dyed parts with it and the white towers

what body do you think you will end up using?

[c@in]

The body we have purchased is the j concepts illuzion rc10t body. We dont no if it will fit because we have never had a truck before.

An update to show the body. The body has arrived and is looking good. I have used the orignal rc10t body mounts and the front have been moved into the center a little bit more. The body will be painted soon. Also i have added some new blue screws everywhere. Rear RPM motor cover(blue).

any updates on this awesome truck??!!

[slotcarrod]

Such a nice truck, I love the Blaze Blue, good choice in colour!

Your truck looks nice, but I have 1 question. How do you keep your battery pack from shifting forward? Do you have some kind of stop that can't be seen in the pics?
