Uups, I posted my comment in the wrong place

I'd tape it up, then use wet & dry fine sand paper to remove the orange anodizing ( tape the paper to a piece of glass or other flat surface, then rub back & forth in the same direction ); nice brushed aluminium finish with little chance of fecking it up with nasty liquids getting into the wrong places...

The servo comes apart very easily, and goes back together just as easily...just take it part, de-anodize (and polish) and then re-assemble! I am sure there are instructions, manuals and/or blown-up diagrams on the web!

Chad I couldn't find any exploded drawings other than this

That is my old tray. New one is being built. Check out the deandozing. I am going to sand and polish the servo heat sink! That thing will not come apart without force and I don't want to ruin the bearing.

Thanks guys!!

Done!! I just put the case back on and started rub it down, I will have to go back over it later with something less corse but I may leave it as is. What do you think? I can't wait to get the truck together!

Looks good- some mothers metal / aluminium polish polish would bring that & the plastic up nicely ( T-cut is good for plastic polishing apparently, though there are no doubt proper guides around )...

nice job on the servo...autosol metal polish would be good to polish it up with.
or a wax based polish like farecla g3...then it wont seep in and ruin the internals of the servo.

Everything looks great! Are those Associated servo-mounts? I have a few sets that look just like those, and they are AE...they are great for all kinds of stuff!

Thanks guys I couldn't have gotten it like it was without you. Now, I don't have my tray yet so don't get too excited, but I myself am excited about this update. Particularly this image:



I made a CF wingstay mount. I have Diemaker Daves but after a few years I wanted something lower. More like today's truggies.
More pics:









Servo work:



Added a lighter resistance spring, and polished the orange away! and the blue mounts are now deanodized! And yes they are AE.


More CF Work (bottom riser plate), deanodize work, and notice reoriented whole thing- motor faces backwards like mikes kits. Basically this is Mikes. The CF is mine. Motor mount- Mike's. Coming tray- Mike's, old tray- Mike's. RC-Monster! Yeah! lol



Remember I beefed the rear drive train. everything shaft wise from the diff down is LOSI 2.0 including the 17mm hexes. And check the New VTR Calibers!! Medium. I purchased these cheap. I got it all for $50 shipped. One last thing the rear upper arms are no longer plastic. The plastic was too flexy. They had become permanently warped.



Thanks for following. Hey Does anyone have an opinion on the blue shock collars. Should I leave them as is or deanodize?

Looking good Zack... I got rid of the anodizing off mine because it did nothing for me...

The tower side of the the CF has alittle red dirt rubbed forever into it. It used to function as a battery tray. This picture is from an early setup(not current). You can see it on page 30. I cut the wingmount out of it. The other side is clean but has a mar on it from a slip with the dremmel.




Yeah, I hear you Alien and Snoop said on the TRX forum that I should deanodize those aswell as the red tube rods. They have never bothered me. I may do the collars this week, but I'll wait to get the tray to see about the rods. As of right now I still like them red.

RC-Monster Tray has shipped!! Yipi



Thanks Mr. Mike!

Hey Zack, what sort of shoes do you have on the truck?

In the pics I took 3 days ago I have my new VTR Calibers medium compound. In the old pic I have 40 series Mashers.
