| Vemon formula offroad build thread - VERY manly
So, i bought myself a creeer for my Foff project. chose this platform because it has the lockable diffs. So i get the box...very nice...red, not sure about this... First things first, Lets get rid of that red and powder coat it a colour with a bit more attitude So after this i started the gear box, chassis and links. Now on for the diffs...i love these things si tiny its almost cute...nope must stay masculine about this... BIG BEEFY DIFFS... SNIFF MY DIFF!!! Last edited by craigrobbo; 08-04-2009 at 03:11 AM. |

Hi guys, the powdering system i used is called electro static magic. there are plenty more on the bay, but i dont think im the best person to ask since im in the UK...shipping i think would be very costly. Craig |
