[RcJunkie13]

update?, super interested in this build.

 

[BrapppnBuds]

Almost ready
I’m looking for someone to paint the body
Any recommendations?

 

[RcJunkie13]

Something clean and simple look good on the 5b. Colors that pop like metallic blue, green, purple ect look nice. U gonna paint yourself? Also, got any pics of thats there so far?

CHRIST this is a clean build. Its almost a shame to hide all that billet. If you are still deciding on a body color id go for something that can show off all this RC max stuff like a dark clear tint.

A tiny bit more trim around the velocity stack so she will sit

Are you going to fabricate something to protect the engine head and pipe?

I can make some but the snow just melted literally yesterday it’s still cold over here in eastern mass.

Nice work. I just bought a 5iveB kit but i'm still on the fence about an engine.
It's a toss up between the Taylor35 or chucking in my 55 Supreme
My only concern is the centre rear driveshaft, why doesn't PhatDad make one?

I'm also thinking of stretching it for a LWB buggy using a 5iveT chassis and MCD RR5 Max body, they fit perfect, and at least I can upgrade the whole drivetrain with PhatDad shafts and outdrives
