Hello, congratulations, this beautiful, I can say, I use to polish; Do the parties are aluminum?

I use dremel and polishing cream?

thanks

[xKmotx]

@lealadrianar: Thank you! Yes, it is all aluminum. I used a combination of three buffing compounds and a 8" (200mm} power buffer, and yes even a Dremel for some spots. Each individual part was polished a total of four times, progressing through each bar of buffing compound and finally to hand polishing with creme.

I was wondering if you could put one of those in a 1/4 scale monster truck I'm building one and looking for a real powerhouse that's not going to cost me more than $1.500

I'm so jealous :D

This worrys me!, i have a brand new sc 400 im building in a yak. Do you know why this happens? or is it a manufacturing flaw? Looks fantastic now you polished it, great job!

[xKmotx]

@dreamsfgh: It was a manufacturing error I believe. Too much heat treat hardening of the linkpins. I also think it was probably just a one time batch of pins that were mis-treated, which only affected a certain number of engines manufactured 2006 and prior. Thanks for the compliment on my polished engine. :)

[dreamsfgh]

@xKmotx Thanks for the explanation, il post a video of mine when its up and running, hopefully soon:)

[xKmotx]

@dreamsfgh: For sure! Let me know when you do. I try to save all the FS400 videos I can find. :)
