Nice pics, close up works well.
I have baked hundred of tires and never used tin foil ? Why ?
The shock bodies look like hard anodized aluminum to me ?


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

I was just always told to use tin foil? lol. Always assumed it kept the smell from stinking up the oven.

Sooo, this is where I admit I am an idiot a SECOND time..The shock bodies are alum. Just that the first one I looked at had a "swirl" in the anodizing like some plastics do when they colour it.

No no, extended drive cups. Should widen the truck about 1".

Also, I noticed I must have twisted a dog bone! The "pins" don't line up when looked at lengthways.

A few more things came in within the past week, my 1offrc TVP's finally showed up, I got my PS from feather merchant RC and also picked up a used DX3S from a guy at the LHS. I grabbed a couple pics of the RPM arms vs. the stockers, RPM looks much cleaner on there. I figured I would take a few pics of the evil f-250 too haha.
TVP's. I am REALLY impressed with the colour Janeth came up with for me. I told her what I was looking for, she did 3 different sample colours for me to choose from and this is what we ended up with.



Power Supply, I want to either paint this thing or decal it till I can't see how ugly it is haha.



DX3S, it will be the first radio I have ever owned other than stock radio's. I think I was about due for an upgrade haha.


Stock arms vs. RPM.





RPM and extended drive cups.


And then there's the f-250 body. She has been through a lot LOL. If I hadn't have popped random holes through the windshield for airflow, I think I would still use this body with the extended chassis.
