Title: New quadangle build nearly done :)
Post by: threaders on December 11, 2013, 01:29 PM

Hi Everyone,
Been mainly selling bikes and bits over the last few weeks, so its nice to actually start to put one together for a change :) I got this of Energisa a good few months ago and have just picked it up from the powder coaters today :daumenhoch:

I have all the parts, just going to take my time putting it together. Its going to be blue, white and orange. Just have to wait for the decals.
I dont really like the black fork caps, but dont want to paint them as they are original :daumenhoch:
Please give any comments and any advice on improvement, much appreciated :)

Pop the original fork caps out. Get some machined out of allo and use them.

That way you'll still have the original caps to put back on

Just loosley fitted the parts to get a feel if it will work. Think I need darker blue landing gear decals :-\

Just need the rest of the decals and maybe a complete new set in a darker blue.

I do like that quad. I am sure there is a pk ripper on the museum, which has a candy blue frame and all orange parts, looks lovely :daumenhoch:
I have been a bit stupid though and have just realised I forgot to note down the bloody serial number and now can't read it due to the powder  :-\
