Blingtastic Tuber

[Cloak]

I ordered up some super shiny mirror chrome powder coat along with some clear coat. It sure looks nice. Too bad the tuber looks like crap. I suck at using the home depot braze and I didn't find my safety silv until 2/3 the way done with the tuber.




Except for the axial axles and trying out the sidewinder, this was made from stuff around my garage.

I have to figure out where to pack in the electronics and maybe make/buy a new servo mount so I can put the 3s lipo down low. Links need to be sleeved as well.

Stats:
esc: Sidewinder
axial axles
super special revolver from JRH (I'm hoping I can take pics of this now, I never did ask. heh)
R2 tranny (probably stick an r2d in later)
tuber - mirror chrome powder coat with clear coat on top
MSD Heavy breadlocks - I love all my other Ericksons, but these far surpass them. I did do an air vent on the inside of 2 of the screw holes. Works like a charm.

Still need to make the panels.

Wow, that is a tight fit. Where are you thinking about putting them? Is there even enough space above the upper rear links for it all?
The brazing looks fine, but I have never done it. So I may not be the greatest person to compliment/critique. But really? How many people are going to be right on top of it (except the entire internet of course) to see it? Most of the people at any kind of distance aren't gonna notice. Even then, are they going to say "OMG, he must have made that himself......" It looks good.
How did you do the powder coating? I was thinking about it until I realized that I don't have a dedicated oven for it.
