Hey All; Well I picked up a cheepy $11 Maisto Die Cast rig from BJ's Wholesale and gutted it out for various projects. I mostly wanted the interior to add to my Losi MRC. But after gutting it down I noticed the Brake Rotors and Calipers might fit my RC18R. Cursed the guy who got me hooked on the scale items. But I digress. So I drilled out all the little holes in the rotors with my pinvise drill bits. And then painted them Titanium Silver and Racing Red from my Tamiya Model paints. And after a bit of DremelTool work and some glue they are all finished. Enjoy.l8r,w.
