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 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.

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).

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?
