GaFFLe's build =-=-=-= Project 5ive-O =-=-=-=

I'm gonna say about 2.5 weeks or less. It's weird, you order from RCMax or RC-car-online.de and you get your stuff super fast (<3 days) but other spots take a minute. Not sure why... ping them back and ask them what the holdup is.

Yea, Ill give them another week or so then hit them up. Its almost like they put it on a boat instead of airmail.

Thanks!

Hey Gaffle,

Do you know if you get the tire transfers separately?

I use a liberal amount of clear nail polish to protect them and it works well!

Came in today. Was almost wondering if I should have used a heat gun or something cuz it seemed pretty hard to bend it to fit. Got it on there anyways. Time to get it dirty so it don't stand out so much

Very nice and glad you got it! Yes, it was difficult to bend. I wondered if it was even the correct product but it works once you screw things down. Not many around you will have the same wing.

Still waiting on Axis to make and deliver my 5T2 top plate but the show must go on:

What will become of that motor?

I'll put it in something else. Can't decide if it should be another 5T or not. I kind of like that RCMK-1200 but I have so many 5T spares, it seems like a shame to waste them.

So ur taking it out of the 5ive t? If so I'd out it in a baja or maybe a hybrid 5t/baja, those are pretty popular. The rcmk most likely cant handle that engine

It’s been a few weeks. I agonized over putting the front end back together but I figured it out. I videoed my rear end at different stages which made putting it back together a lot easier:

I'm gonna put my RCM65 back in there as-is. I'm going to upgrade to the Supreme model as soon as they confirm they have the new cylinder heads in stock and have Detroit do the upgrade work. At that point, I can call it a day.
