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!!!

The system electostatically charges the powder to around 500 volts then you earth the part and it attracts like a magnet...after this you carefull place in an oven and bake at about 210 degrees C for about 15 minutes

Hehe

Way to go man!

craigrobbo · 08-04-2009, 03:49 PM

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.

craigrobbo · 08-04-2009, 04:04 PM

Another update for ya's Powdercoated my springs (whcih are much stiffer than stock) iv not got any of the other colour i want to go over the red, sot his isnt the final colour

Here is what i have built up so far, the chassis top links battery plate.

I think the colour goes well even if it is pink :-P:-P:-P

This picture should give you an insight into where this project is going

Thanks
