Which TVP is better for bashing ??

Ok so i have been looking around for a while on Google, HPISF Forum and so on.
There is two TVP 's i have in mind but can't make my mind up =P
so ill leave it up to you guys and ill see !

Super Duty Twin Vertical Plates FLM45000

• Machined from billet 6061 aluminum
• 4.7mm (.187") thick for extreme abuse
• Machined pockets for lightweight
• CNC machined on both sides for awesome looks

$45.00 set

Standard Low Center of Gravity TVP FLM45200

• Machined from billet 6061 aluminum
• 4.7mm (.187") thick for extreme abuse
• .500 lower center of gravity
• Drilled for Fast Lane center skid plate
• Seperate kits also available for inline throttle servo, steering servo mount on chassis, fuel tank relocation
• Also includes FLM45700 Motor Plate
• Will not directly work w/ Rotostart will require slight modification to stock bulk (will not need to modify Fast Lane Hybrid)

$56.00 each


So i mostly bash, i go to the BMX track and have a few laps but it always turns in to a bash session =P

-Thank You !

i think the extended lcg ones are better leaves you room to do alot of mods and saves you from haveing to upgrade to them later on when you decide the regs arent what you wanted...just my thoughts on it I'm getting the extlcg ones myself.

Nice, i was thinking of the ext lcg too, but then ill have to mod some thing for the mill guard !

the 2nd one imo is better you have more opition on wat you can do

The second one. More options and better LCG.

i vote for anything LCG for bashing or racing caz you want handling on a savage.

it stinks having to run 150 yards everytime you make a simple turn & your savage rolls onto its lid.

besides, your mill & tranny sit 1/2" lower in the tvp so it will protect your mill in addtion to improving handling.

also, like the others have pointed out, the 2nd set of tvp's you listed are predrilled for mods like mid-tank, etc

** now lemme ask **

are you gonna upgrade your mill to something with power at any point? if the answer if yes, you may want to consider ext's, again for handling. like you, all we do is bash at the bmx track & set up our savage's like racers. it rocks.

I have both EXT x2 and standard LCG's from fast lane. I like the EXTs the standards are good for back flips but nothing else..

The 45000 has a weak point. Look closely at the part where the linkage pivot goes. Very thin on both sides. Mine are now in the trash after taking a fall off my work bench with one tvp in place.

 

[soulja]

i would say go with the LCG stadard....just because you have more body options! the ext does jump a halluva lot better than standard.....very easy to control and sure footed. i just hate that bodies are hard to find for these extended trucks!!

Well i think ill have my mill for awhile (k4.6 HO) it just got broke in and i like it..
Now with the FLM tvp 's people say wheelies are harder to pull off then the standard ??
Like who doesn't like wheeling =P

Any way thanks !

 

[Shaun]

everyone likes a wheelie monster, don't THEY?... LOL:duh:

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

I like wheelie monsters :dunno: .
I think it depends on what you are, a racer or a basher.

 

[Bankrupter]

the exts wheelie with the F mill fine. its all in the set up.
