PortCityRC Project Red Rocket 🚀

[PortCityRC]

Well I might as well get this thing started. Im on my second 1/5 build. I'm loving how the Vekta TT turned out so had to keep going and get another build started. So many choices out there, like a kid I want it all..lol! Got the order in already for all the pieces and parts and engine package. It's going to be on the RCMAX OUTLAW hybrid chassis. The rest is Top Secret!? The 30N kit was a PITA to put together with the sweet directions they give. Wasn't sure on a color choice, but I think I hit it. I'm really digging this Red!? But here's a couple pics body is assembled.

Detroit Performance?
Here's my question do these outlaw chassis fit on a losi 5ive plate for the axis rc stand?

Yep the hardest part was trying to figure out what screws go where

Yup, I got down to about the last ten screws before I realized I was one or two short of a required length and put them in the wrong location.

I think with Chinese you read right to left and yea did the same had the remaining screws and go oh yea there's something wrong here...and before its to late make sure not to over tighten I did and was lucky to get it back out. It was the side panel above the window

I bought the black one to bash with for my losifivet 2.0 so I don’t mess up the original body
They’re awesome!??

I wasn’t overly impressed with the tolerances on the hex socket bolts, but once all assembled it is good and strong!

 

[Haric]

Anybody else searched in the box for the pieces that goes there?

 

[Rep732]

Yep I did haric. Made my own out of some Rubbermaid tote

Take your 2.0 number panels and trace them on the plastic and boom matching number plates for cheap vs over 20 bucks for them...hell you can make some nice aluminum ones

Planning on the aluminum ones, drill a bunch of holes and maybe powder coat it

Thanks haric...nothing an exacto knife can't handle

 

[alexlosi]

Looks great! Wondering how long it took to arrive? I got mine from aliexpress as ebay was double the price. The shipping estimate is 45 days....
