Nah, they did not. Strange because all the ones I have seen pics of appeared to have a white, almost ceramic, coating. I did not remove anything. I wanted to anodize but the finish is a little rough. Maybe I can do some sort of bead blast and/or polishing but not sure if I will go through all that trouble just yet. I just ordered the Neu 1512/1.5D !

All I need now is get the ESC and servo . . .

Well, you should be glad...because the mysterious white coating is difficult to deal with (asthetically) if you have to modify/drill/alter the parts. You are well on your way my friend! I sent out the center drive tubing today so you should have it in a day or two!

Thanks so much for shipping SST tubing for the center drive. I am so psyched to get this thing on the road. I still have a little way to go but have time because if there is not snow in the parking lots it is wet from melting. I found a company http://www.extremercracing.com that makes a graphite servo tray that might fit once modified--they are much easier to modify with a dremel. Did you tap screw holes in the RC-Monster battery tray?

Yes I did use a tap...but you really don't need it. Just mark existing screw holes from the chassis onto the battery tray and drill them one size smaller than the screws you intend to use. Then just use the screws to tap your holes into the battery tray...

I didn't use a tap for the Ultra build and it actually worked out better...
