Nah dude itd be gone in one shot with me ?? my shock n orings is Soo big ?????

I don't use that ,I probably would on my nitro carb needles ,but I would have to travel 50 miles to get it ,or ,I
would have to order it from an on line shop like A-main or RcBoyz!

I just use this stuff ,I use this Sh!t on everything ,an I get it from my local Napa store!


Question, what spawned that first question? ?

Because I haven't seen or heard you working on your stuff lately ,usually you have it strolled all over your room!...:ROFLMAO:

I almost don't want to de ano these, I might not and just find orange caps for the old front shocks that came with the rig to replace the purp and de ano the rest of the purp on the truck
 
looks good man! yeah its kind of interesting the change from purple to orange mid model with those rigs (savages too) i wouldn't want to de-anodize any of it lol, maybe just means you need to get an orange chassis to build a second car from too? lol

Obviously that ain't the shock brace I'm using, you know I have that ffrc one ? that's just the one that came with the shocks so I'm using that cuz I don't wanna open the ffrc one.
Orange looks fekin terrible on purple but I'll fix that with some oven cleaner to the purple ?? also the good thing is, TR makes orange parts to match! So I'll be grabbing those. I don't want this to be supper blingy, want it to look like oem just way better if you know what I mean. Wow I just went on a tangent ?
