RPM makes great front bumpers!

Got in my dBoots Backflips from Jenny'sRC! Found a killer spot to unleash this beast tomorrow and give these new shock towers a real test with my launch ramps! ? ? ? ? ? ?

 

[Uplift-RC]

Had a nice 30 minute bashing session and was catching some sick airs w/ my new #Blackflips until I clipped a sign on the construction site I was at in Clearwater, FL! Looks like I just popped out a rod out or 2 - lol I guess this is just part of the hobby!! O well, this gives me a reason to install my new PowerHD servo since my v3 will be down for the count.

Had a killer bash session yesterday as you can see from above! I busted my steering block to an Aluminum one instead of a plastic one. I tried looking in the Manual but cant figure it out. I just want to make sure its the correct one brothers since I am getting a good deal from one of my ebay vendors. The #Bashers that I have tagged in this post, I highly respect there opinions so please give me some feedback after you read this post.

Those are correct. The wrong ones will be much flatter where the CVD goes through. I made that mistake once a long time ago.

Many thanks @bicketybam - for the heads up brother. I already placed an order for the stock ones since i got a pretty good deal off ebay. If I break it again, i will upgrade to the Hot Racing Aluminum Steering Blocks instead. I was telling Rich Superbash that I just noticed that my left front shock is got tweaked, so I might have to end up buying a new FRONT pair.

 

[Uplift-RC]

I should have my rig back up and running in about a week or so! I just placed an order for a front pair of ARRMA 6s shocks and new a steering block set! When I clipped that sign I must have lost a few bearing and bent the hell out of my right front shock. I must have hit that sign a little harder than i THOUGHT on my landing at that construction site. Just part of the hobby....lol

 

[Uplift-RC]

Here is a side picture of how bad I tweaked that right front shock so i ended up ordering a brand new pair.
Also, has anyone upgraded there springs on there rigs? I heard tekno makes some really good springs.

 

[Uplift-RC]

Also, picked up a pair of #TeknoSpirings for my new #ARRMA #6s #shocks!!!

Tekno springs are softer.

 

[Uplift-RC]

Ordered a set of GPM Racing RED turn buckle ends for my v3 #KRATON! After my crashI tweaked the stock ones...

 

[Uplift-RC]

Picked up the new #jconcepts #Finnisher body along with some goodies from #TowerHobbies: This wil be my first body so I will only be using two colors and liquid mask and black to back it!

 

[Uplift-RC]

My #Finnisher body is ready to paint then the fun part starts by adding all of the decals I scored on eBay
I made sure that every thing matches up perfectly as far as my post mounts on my #v3 before I coat of paint goes on.

 

[Uplift-RC]

Using Betty Design Liquid Mask , One coat down and 2 to go!!!!

 

[Uplift-RC]

Ordered something from Mitch today! Boom, finally got the #m2c #3000 #ARRMA KRATON Goliath Chassis on the way ? ? ? ? ?

 

[Uplift-RC]

Also, I picked up Mitch's NEW front and rear shock towers from m2c racing since I already bent the Just bash it 6mm ones in the front ON MY #v3.. Also, got the m2c 3076 SHOCK CAP BUSHINGS.

 

[Uplift-RC]

Coming along very nice!! Finishing up my 1 of 3 coat's of aluminum blue on my JConcepts #Finnshers body!
Next I will be using Gun Metal Silver for the 2nd part of the body back which should come out pretty cool.

 

[Uplift-RC]

OK GUYS, Finally all of my upgraded parts came in since I had a pretty bad wreck last week and bent the chassis and broke the front Diff on my #v3 #KRATON. It will be out of commission for a few weeks until I can install these brand new parts below that I picked up.. Shot out to Mitch and his insane strong sick looking Chassis!!!

Happy birthday, brother! ???
