My MT after a rebuild...

[Deluge1]

Here's my MT V2 after a rebuild. I don't think I've ever listed what I've done to it, so here it goes.


Upgraded to a 26cc engine. (Stole it from my 5T)


Upgraded to MCD dog bones.


Rebuilt the shocks with Baja lower assemblies and DarkSoul shafts.


Upgraded the diff cups. (MooCups)


HPI filter with an Outerwears pre-filter.


DDM Dominator pipe.


Single servo steering. (Using a Hitec 5805 servo)


KillerRC kill switch.


Inclined Shred Stack.


Hacked the front and rear bumper/guards.


De-anodized the aluminum.


Installed an HBZ cage hoop.


Stripped/painted the beadlock rings black.


Painted the chassis black.


Vertigo full bearing kit.


And I don't remember what else. Anyway, with this rebuild I just cleaned everything up and replaced the fuel tank.

Very nice. Great job love the color

 

[Deluge1]

Yep. Just soaked the parts in some Greased Lightning. It actually removed the anodizing pretty quickly.

 

[Deluge1]

Thanks, Fat. It's Pactra Cobalt Blue. Complete pain in the ass to work with, but it came out pretty good.

Luv the colors. That black chassis rocks. I wish they came black.

Mean looking machine deluge! What type of paint did you use to spray the chassis? I was going to get mine anodized black but this seems like a better option. I'm assuming you have to deanodize it first before you paint?

 

[Deluge1]

Thanks, guys.

Jeff, I didn't remove the anodizing on the chassis. I just washed and dried it thoroughly. I was going to use some self etching primer, but decided I'd see how it did with just a few coats of paint. Anodizing leaves the surface of the aluminum somewhat porous, so there's really no need for primer. And so far, the chassis is holding up well.

Oh, and I used Rust-Oleum engine paint.

Nice work I like the black chassis too. And the bumpers cut down give it a little bit of a different look.

 

[Deluge1]

Thanks! I hacked them down cause they were too clunky. I think it makes it look a little more sleek.

 

[angryrecords]

nice and clean looks sweet!

 

[Deluge1]

Thanks, dude!

That looks great. Thats what I was thinkin of doin to mine, lose the blue and black out the rest. Was thinkin of givin this a try Gun Kote. Little pricey tho.

 

[Deluge1]

Looks interesting. When this chassis starts to look trashy, I'm definitely going to powder coat it.
