Deanodized and polished parts

Since the body coming in the mail won't have any blue on it, why not deanodize all the blue aluminum parts and polish them. I began with the shock caps, next ill do the drive shaft, sway bar pieces and the servo hold down pieces. Until than here are the finished and polished shock caps. More to come from this sweet looking buggy. ...

More carbon fiber on the vendetta

I figured why not let the...

Vendetta stock chassis modification

Wanting to lighten the stock vendetta chassis, I came up with a way by cutting off some useless plastic that was mainly for look and to hold things in place. By removing some of the plastic I lost almost 1 oz of weight. It may not seem like to much, but in the racing world it means a lot. Lighter the better. So to make this one light 1/18th scale, this is how I did it. 3oz...
