pics. of my progress on my 3.3 conversion - RC-Monster Forums

Just a few pics. I have all of the electronics for it, just haven't had the time to make a bracket for the rx yet or solder things together...

I painted the springs and the chassis. After all of the brackets are made and the drilling, etc is done I am going to repaint it. Also remove the color from the AL tubes and the 17mm hexes

That's purrty.

I like to be different...hence the orange theme

Wow. that's real nice... The orange and black combo works well together.

Of all the conversions I'd seen, none were orange/black

Yep, you truly have a unique build there... can't wait to see the finished product. Are you sticking with the same colour scheme for the bodywork?

Yup, RUSTY XL-5 from here on RCM is painting a body for me. He will hopefully incorporate a little black and white into the scheme, but that is up to him...

Holy Smokes thats nice!!!!

Glad I wandered into the Revo section.

BrianG · 05.13.2009, 05:16 PM

Nice color scheme! I like orange too:

Actually, that's not exactly my car, but I photoshopped a different pic so it looks as close as I can.

I skipped over this thread several times figuring once you've seen a few revo conversions you've seen them all. Something told me to take a look and I am glad I did. That thing looks nice! Definitely something different for the tastebuds and probably the most interesting 3.3 conversion I have seen in a long time.

Thank you...This build may be taking a new turn since I posted this the other day. I am looking at a custom chassis being made for me that is 1.5" longer than stock and looks similar to the Gorilla Maxx set up. If I decide to go this route, I will have it powder coated orange.

Powder coated!!!
