got my chassis and slipper eliminator today and figured out i lost one of the long screws for my dlux truss. Going to see if i can find a screw at the local hardware store, nothing i have is long enough.


ill start with pictures when i can actually put stuff together.

if anybody has transmission spacers they are willing to part with for cheap i would be very grateful

[winnerone23]

This screw long enough?


I have all kinds of spacers, just need some lengths on the spacers you need?
Address they the 3 that go between the tranny case and the motor plate?

I haven't found the output shaft spacer, yet...

the screws from dlux are about 1.25 inches long. I would like to go a bit longer. I got some screws from the hardware store that work but they are phillips head sadly.

These are the spacers i am looking for. I have the smaller ones but they are plastic, would like metal. I dont have the bigger one at all

[winnerone23]

That one in the pic is a little longer then that.. Nothing wrong with Phillips head..

Umm, plastic is lighter! I took metal ones off for the plastic ones.. But they have been used for spacers else where, over time..

I'll lyk if I find the output shaft spacer.. If I do, you can have it.

I've got the 3 spacers let me dig for the large one. Ok the ones I've got are plastic. They are yours if you need them and the price is free.

[onebullet]

i have the three plastic spacers, was just hoping to get metal ones. What i really need is the larger one, i can buy one but its 10 dollars for a tiny piece of tin......

[snapon boy]

I may have the metal ones I'll look tomorrow

[snapon boy]

How is your build going? I've got a lot of the parts for mine just waiting for the chassis to show up.

[onebullet]

Its going along, im about at the point i was last time. Just havent been posting because its nothing special.

I got a vp stage 1 kit for it and a strc diff cover for the front. Thats about it.

[snapon boy]

That sounds good! If I would stop adding to my order I think my chassis would be here. Troy has been a huge help!

[onebullet]

yeah, i dont think its very often that anybody can say troy was no help at all.

[snapon boy]

Did you get the blue stage one set?

[onebullet]

started painting the new body early this morning.... got this crappy picture. Lots to do yet.

[onebullet]

just finished the paint and really not happy with it..... time to stare at it for a bit and try to think of something to make it not so bad

ugh

Looks good to me,

the gun metal and black does look good together. Sadly that wasnt the paint job. Had man many goofs with this but i think the biggest problem for me was the color choice. The plan was to outline all the blue in black but i had changed my mind with the sides, should have done a sprayout first. I put on some decals to hide somethings and try to make myself feel better about. I still hate it. Not a straight or clean line to be found on the thing..... bahser body status i guess






very hard to see, but it says sucker punch across the back.

[snapon boy]

Ok Dan, it looks good to me.
