I'm pretty sure it isnt clear coated, mine had an oil coating on it but wiped off.

When I asked Mike T about the pipe i was getting the first question was "is it titanium or steel?" He said "oh a steel pipe with a lacker coat." So....maybe he has started coating his pipes?‍

The lacquer will burn right off I'd say.

Well there was a mix up and the wheels and rear links were not shipped.I had to double check the box to make sure I wasn't being an idiot but the wheels aren't there.John said he would send them out tomorrow so a few more days and we should be good to go.

my pipe doesn't have clear coat when I got it. It was covered in wd 40 silicone

maybe he started clear coating them recently

 

[John Parks]

If would have to be pretty recent ? I just got my pipe from the last batch made.

 

[siblues]

Mine isn't coated either it was silicone.I noticed as soon as my fingers touched it.

Well I hope I don't have any issues with Detroit getting my parts delivered.John didn't sound too happy when I told him what happened and I get it he can't really tell if I am telling the truth or not.I hope RcMax and Detroit can figure it out and I don't have any issues/John seems like a really good guy so I doubt I will have any issues.

How long was the wait time before you received your motor?

 

[siblues]

I paid for it on Jan 23 and received it two days ago.It was pretty quick and once it left RcMax it only took 3 days to get here.

Not bad I was thinking maybe a month

Nah, he is a busy man and forgets stuff. He has forgot stuff for me a few times but has always taken care of it. Usually hes pissed because he forgot it as he just has so much going on it just adds to his list.

 

[siblues]

I know he is a super cool guy and he has answered soo many of my questions he should have charged me double haha but he didn't sound pleased.He messaged me and told me he is working on my order as we speak.

Those wheels looks sick!???

 

[siblues]

Started putting everything together and ran into two problems stripped an allen head which isn't a bid deal.The second problem is the head scratcher.I can't get the vertigo steering plate to move far enough forward to line up with the bolt holes but the funny part is everything seems ok? Any ideas on what or why this is happening

You have to twist up on the chassis plate it's sprung like mine
It's easier to have the whole front assembled with the steering plate first before attaching that center chassis brace too. Also loosen up your steering links a little too, it'll help allow your holes to line up better, get everything good and started, then cinch her all down tight
