flm - mgt midtank

[Mickey]

ok so i finally bit the bullet and bought some tvps ( thanks hpisavage25 ). i have had the mgt tank sitting around for awhile so put the 2 together and voila. im going to custom fab the tank plate from plexi ( thanks for the idea baddasz savage ), and with a little dremiling to the side of my radio shack project box i was using its a perfect fit in front of the tank. i also have to mod the shocks i will be using the stock bumpstops off of the stock shocks for this. the rx pack will be balloned and ziptied to the underside of the tank plate for a nice all inside the tvp install.

Is this the XL? Will you be using the FLM servo tabs on the tvp's for the both steering and throttle?

yep the flm servo tabs are being ordered monday by nick at smf store. and it is the ext lcg tvps

yep another used part i picked up here from the forum.

88 those spacers came with the flux bigbores i got from you.

Now that i think about it most of the truck is made from used parts from other forum members.
tvps -- parker
badlands, shims and macs pipe -- Baddasz-savage
bulkheads and flux bigbores -- 88

cool! I like the way they look over the piece of angle (what I have on mine--budget build..LoL) At least the Flm;s are threaded, I had to use plastic on the other side to screw into :(

I knew it was the ext's, I was wondering if it was the XL truck you lost the wheel on? LoL

EDIT:guess I took too long to type.. Looks like a new build from the last post

Looks great man :cheers:

[88gtanotchback]

hmmm the spacers look weird to me for some reason. it looked like a one piece sleeve almost.:drunk:
glad there working for ya tho, lol.

[Mickey]

no texas savage it is the xl that lost a wheel . and 88 they are a one piece spacer and i havnt used them yet lol just set it up that way, the front of the truck is much smoother on the table like that. and i lost one spacer so i havnt done the rear yet
