A few shots of my latest build. Not done yet but drivable at this point.

latest vid of truck with ercm pipe. piped not tuned to motor just tossed on and a arm broken

pipe tuned and a arm fixed


UPDATE'S​


well I bash tested the poop out of this and its sweet!!!!!! But, as always I cant leave it alone... I saw Grumpys 1 speed mod and got to thinking. The Flux tranny on 43/20 gearing the truck had, has plenty of top end for a basher and or racer! Also got to that speed blistering fast but I want more... Not that more is used much but... I wanted alloy gears and the 2 speed final drive gears but 3 speed gearing. This is what came out of it ...

*** Note this mod requires welding***

I made one out of hi speed 3rd then changed it to regular 3rd. I also made it in alloy geared 2nd. But testing the non hi speed 3rd first.

Also 2 speed with 2nd gear as first and hi speed 3rd as 2nd coming... Have it all worked out just need time at the machine shop

Heres some pics and Ill add them to the first post too.

Bank you got yourself a Racer there. I know when I had mine at the LHS for a few days the owner said that everyone thought it was some sort of truggy. He then told them it was a savage and they couldn't believe him.

Great work bud I love the stance and everything you have on it. That thing will fly and handle great.
 
that things gonna turn on a dime..... nice build!!!

you were nipping on my heals again Matt. I cant lay down and take that... So now I have a 2nd mortgage and a cool truck... lol



Thanks for the compliments guys. All kit parts nothing we all cant have.


Ran it today for half a tank and the carb split apart. Composite part came out of the alloy.. but on 40 series road rage it will drift pretty good . Ill get some vid when my carb is done drying.

Tonight I added more TI parts to the tranny and lighted a drive gear it does not use anymore. So well see how much more pop the less rotating mass gives it.
43 hd spur 20 cb flux 1 speed main gear all TI shafts. Here's a pic of the tranny parts:

Yea its just the shafts. To be honest I have no clue. in hand comparison of the parts tells me a whole bunch... like the final drive gear and shaft weigh about the same as just the steal shaft alone. same with that input shaft holding both I was shocked how light TI is.. I'm looking at TI drive shafts now. IDK if I'm going to pull the trigger but I might.

88 that is the same front end I have had for over a year now. nothing is changed on that. that is the first version of the R.S.C kit. Now it limits you out the box but can be modded to do the same as mine.
 
Man that is one sick savy you have there Bank!! Thanks for sharing the vid..
 
Good work as usual Bank. I really like the CF TVPs. Clean lookin set-up I have to admit. I wouldn't mind trying my hand at a CF build. Only thing stopping me is the need to buy the HB D8T. Decisions, decisions.....
 
lol I want the D8 so bad I can smell it. Only putting it off caz I don't have 400 for a mill for it.
 
nice...nie...but i got something for ya...LMAO
