XLarge Low & Lean
Gday all, there are so many sick projects here on green/red hpisf at the moment that I've been inspired. :beforeme::beforeme::beforeme:So it's time for some XL tvp's and a few upgrades (yeah right).I've got a couple of parts already, some are on there way and more are still to be ordered. At the moment my flux weighs about 7.2kg/15.8lb with maximizer's & zombies more with the big joe's
I want to lose as much weigh as possible, a couple a lbs/about a kilo would be nice, but I doubt I'll be able to do it. Getting rid of the alloy LST shocks and mounts will be a good start. But it's a darn shame coz they look KILLA.
I'll be honest the price of PRC's xl tvp's is a bit scary, but if I got alloys I'd get'em anodized which isn't cheap, so I it's not gonna be much more getting the cf tvp's then the alloy's, but alot tougher. So J you'll be hearing from me soon mate.
I saw this beast just after I got my flux and thought, "I want mine that low".
But the custom fabbing involved is beyond me, but PRC's come to the rescue with there sweet LCG shock tower, so they are a must have.
SavageSam's racer gave me the idea to get some Jammin' rear 16mm big bore shocks which cost over $60 a pair :cussing:, went on :ebay: and managed to score 2 pairs for $59.
$26 with the gray hard springs
$33. Hopefully they arrive this week sometime.
Was lucky enough to get some savage 5T axles about a month ago, been looking for some 17mm hexs to go with them.
Gonna give these Ofna 12mm offset a go, they look pretty tough, but they'd wanna be for $19.50 a pair
The pin hole is further out on the 5T axles then the flux so I'll need to shim the hexs. 8x16mm washers will do nicely.
Also ordered some stuff from TCS which should be here this week as well.
Heatsink motor mount
BP diffs
Sway bar set
GCM battery box mounts
XL dogbone
SHD drive shafts (spares)
Lightweight idler & drive gears
HD 18-23 drive gear
I'll keep you guys posted as I get more parts and start the build.
cya
