i took my 8ight t apart to do some cleaning. i found that i need to change the shock oil and the diff oil, i also found that i had a rear hinge pin in the rear hub carrier and the pin broke the hub. but while i had the truck all apart I had a idea. I work at a anodizing plant we do the alloy reflectors that go in street lights and in the high end pocket lights for homes. i took all the alum that is on the 8ight t to work and re anodized it I had the guy that does all the dye work to mix me up an orange. all of it was dipped at one time and it all stayed in the dye for the same time but some of the alum is different stuff so it took the color different. but this is what I came up with. i think it is the only orange losi 8ight t. let me know what you think
