A Very RC Christmas - BJoe - 12-27-2007
Anybody get RC stuff for Christmas this year?
Folks got me a Micro Desert Truck, which stayed stock until about 3:20pm yesterday
and a $100 gift card to work:joy:Before;

I just installed the bearings, threaded axles, and RPM Micro-T bumper (fits perfectly with the DT body too
) as well as buying the Ni-MH peak charger (don't want ot need the Li-Po as of yet.) and striping off the graphics stickers to let the candy red shine through. Some of that money is going to parts for the WK, Pede, Rusty, and Bandit too.

I have a clear MicroT body shell that I have been waiting to paint...any ideas for a scheme for it? I was planning to paint it for the heck of it, and then look for a person who needed one.

NOt as much as it could have, I bought them at work. IIRC the Axles and Bearings are $11.99 for each and the RPM bumper is $4.95. Pealing off the those ugly stickers was a freebie

Whatever you paint it, I'd leave off the stickers that go on the side (same with the Baja body), those screw up the looks of that cany paint on all three different bodies if you ask me. Just make sure you sell it to somebody who's got a Micro-T or Baja, the M-DT is about 1/2" longer behind the ESC/Rx. The way the batery compartment looks, with a little creative Dremeling, uoi could actualy run 2 packs in it for longer run times if wired in paralell!
