now it is off the the chromers or the rhino liners or the painters or the powdercoaters haven't decided yet i might even leave it bare for awhile

rhino liner do that it would look sweet

[Will]

yea the only thing I am worried about is weight and the thickness of the actual lining

[ILoveRCRockCrawlin]

i think the lining is like 1/4 inch thick

At the advice of a friend I picked up some abrasive belts that go on my 4x36" belt sander...work great.

Those work awesome. I had some that fit a die grinder and they work great for removing anodizing as well.

I would look into LINE-X liner, it goes on thinner and is more scratch resistant, and has a more even texture than rhino lining.Better yet find some place that does industrial coating and see if the can coat it with TiN coating,kinda like the gold carbide inserts, it becomes one with the metal and will not scratch off,the downside is the chassis will be a bright gold color.

see the only problem with that is that this is going to be the most scale rig anyone has ever seen :flipoff: because i am the mcmaster shaster loowaster!!! :lol:

Do you know of a place? I've been looking for a place to get some gears TiN coated for a while

The company we use is called
Gold Star,
1580 Progress Drive
Richmond In 47374,
765-935-7424,
I know for a fact that they have other coatings as well that don't have the gold color, give them a call and see if they can help you out, if they can give us info on prices and such.
