Wow, I can see that being gone from the boards for a little while has caused some outrage! Here's the deal: The money NEVER got to me. I never received $55 in the mail. I told ModTXT not to send me cash, but he assurred me it would get there just fine. It didn't get to me. Mike-Check your email and ...

Yeap, reverse=rear!

Nice Tires Shag! They look way better on that clod then they did on my Z4!

Aggy- Thanks for the backup buddy. I don't get why everybody hates on the Sassy Chassis. It's like a Ford, sure it sucks, but some people like em'!

P.S. This isn't a newbe "don't pick on me comment"

How long should I let the plastic gearbox parts sit in the brake fluid for? Also, should I put them in a plastic bag or container that is sealed for faster results?

Thanks for all the help guys,

Johnny

monster- you had me thinking for a moment who you could possibly be, then I scrolled down. LOL Buddy ?- I sometimes reside in Woodbury (suburb of cities), and sometimes reside in Mankato. I go to MSU so I am down in Kato more than the cities 9 months out of the year. Where are you at? Thanks for the...

Well guys thanks for the replies. I tried sanding the chassis a bit on a discrete part and saw exactly what you said Melvin. It got a brushed look, even with very fine grit paper. I also picked up some lacquor remover at Menards and it works like a charm! I let the pieces sit for about 2-3 minutes a...

? - Thanks for the reply and yes the gearboxes are plastic. What type of brakefluid should I use? Is there no chemical that would take the paint off the chassis? Is sanding the only way? Should I sand it by hand or with a power sander? The only reason I ask is that there is so many nooks and crannie...

Bill and Mods if this is a problem, then by all means delete it. I just need some answers quickly as this project is time sensitive!

Check out this link guys- I need some help restoring my new clod!

Hey guys- I got a good deal on a Sassy Chassied clod that looks like it's been painted about 4 times. I was wondering what solvent or chemical to use to strip the paint off the Aluminum Chassis as well as the clod gearboxes. I need something that isn't going to hurt them, but that will effectively t...

Aggy-

Didn't pick it up off ebay. Got it from http://www.hobbytalk.com swap and sell forum. Not too many clods show up on there, but when they do, they go for pretty cheap and usually very fast. I will get some pics up when it gets here in a few days.

Hey guys- Just thought I would share with you my latest purchase. Just got a Sassy Chassied clod roller with motors for $65. Thought that was a pretty good deal. It said it is complete but needs a new body. As soon as I get it I will put up some pics for you to marvel at! :lol: Looks like ZWolf and ...

Very Nice work on that first pic! Looks great? Nice looking suspension arms as well!!

I raced 10th and 12th scale touring on carpet and had a blast! Then I bought a stock clod and traded all my onroad stuff for more MTs! Sometimes I still wish I was into onroad......

Johnny

Hey guys-
I posted a link to the page on rctech to make sure this guy doesn't scam people over there!

Just a little FYI
