I have had no problems since I did this mod. Everything is working great. I did find out this mod can be done with a stock chassis but the radio box has to be modified. I have seen it done on other forums.
The servo is pretty well protected. It sits right above the skid so the bottom is good and only a litte of the side is showing. Once I get some more plastic I will be making a skid to cover the res of the bottom.
Those are Panther slicks!
The tank is 125cc, MBX Prospec
The TVP's are from LCG Racing, no this set-up will not work with stock TVP's they have to be extended. I had to shave part of my tranny to get the box to fit.
Well I had to just make a plain flat plate to mount the tank on. I was going for a lower set but with the battery box it won't fit in the TVP's. then like I said the box is from a CEN magnum. The steering servo is under the plate, attached to the side of the TVP's. There wasn't really that...
Well I got my battery box in today. It is a CEN magnum box, it is a tight fit and I had to sand a little on the fuel tank but it does fit!!! Everything fits in there with plenty of room to go. I can't wait to run it...
I am working on a set of lowered shock towers right now. I am running t-maxx shocks on my savage. I am supposed to call the company Fri on the price for the mold. They will be made out of plastic instead of aluminum.
Well I got my tank in the other day, it is a 125cc MBX ProSpec tank. It took a little fitting and creative thinking to get it to fit the way I wanted it to. It slightly rubs on the steering linkage but nothing to hurt it. I used a piece of plastic I got that looks like diamond plating for my...
It doesn't seem too much weaker. It does flex a little more than before but nothing has broke on me yet. As for getting the towers to match, it took a lot of sanding to match them up as close as possible.
I made them in my garage, no company did it for me. I am trying to find someone to help me make them though. I have had quite a few people ask for them but I make them with a dremel!
WOW, it has been a while since I have been on here. Glad to see the site is going good. I am in the process of doing a mid tank mod on my racer. This is what I have so far...
