Black Magic II

[Mickey]

ok i hate wording threads so here goes.

This build all started with a Private Message that i was glad i read right away, i ended up scoring Hypnotiqs black anodized flm ext lcg chassis plates. During the clean up and rebuild i added a few more upgrades to go with my new tvps such as GH skid plate braces, steering uprights and servo horn. i deanodized all the purple aluminum parts on the truck (except for the servo saver ). I figured it was time to do the steering bearing upgrade as well. I also added a Hotbodies D8T fuel tank. My truck also has some custom made parts such as the rsc upper control arm cross brace and wing mount. Well enough of the boring stuff on to the pics.

if you have any questions on anything you see on the truck feel free to ask. thanks for looking.

i still have to deanodize the green cooling head on the axial, and the blue from the aluminum servo horn for the throttle / brake servo.

That thing is looking sick dude. When I de-anodized the purple off of my parts I used a product called "Greased Lightning" what do you use?

there was a guy who sold flm ano blk. Since went out business. I still have engine plate and servo mounts new that are ano blk. The color looks better in person vs a pic, so I'm sure your truck is quite nice. Nice work by the way.

looking good

 

[Mickey]

ran this truck for the first time today and well it went great for 4 tanks of fuel. untill the motor locked up on me. the upper rsc brace is definatly the way to go for a cheap handleing upgrade

 

[redneck]

that sucks that it locked upp man hope its fine

 

[Mickey]

if its fine ill clean it seal it and beat it till it dies then order an axial .28 rr2

 

[Hypnotiq]
