At first i was thinking something like a frankenstein build and use the parts as is (with new bearings) but now i'm thinking clean everything up real nice maybe do like a brushed finish on all the aluminum axle parts & new motor using a scotch pad and painting the frame rails, new springs & transmission case bright red & topping it off with a silver body.

Parts on order:
-SCX10 frame brace kit (using the old frame rails)
-revo rod ends
-5/16 delrin
-M4 x 16 mm grubs
-motor mount (other one was warped in the fire)
-front & rear axles (gonna use the old parts to beef them up)
-revo waterproof rx box
-revo gtr shocks
-jato springs (yellow/orange)
-HPI rubicon body

Still need to order another motor/esc & reciever but i'll worry about that once i get the roller together

glad to hear that,i will follow this thread,to see what you are planing to come up with

yes it was, it was a little snug going on but wasn't hurt to bad


I was going to wait on the motor but now i'm really wanting to get this thing going so i ordered another velinon motor & esc. Going to go with the brushed finish in the motor and use rit dye to dye the esc black

I think the servo is too far back, try moving up about and inch and see if that clears the links.

The body looks great, I like the way you combined the colors from the chassis to the body.
How are you going to to take the color off the motor?

Sounds like a great idea, be sure to clear coat the motor so it doesn't rust after a while.
