All that is left are replacing the shocks and checking servo throws.

That roto plate is as nice as it could possibly get. Novarossi truly took the back plate to a New Level. Detail that went into it looks awesome.

John - You are doing a Great job,bud....

Thanks again for all your help. More pics to follow once I get the truck back. Then it's breakin time. This truck has been apart way to long....

Nice set up , i like the flex tek arms . What shocks are those? i'm in the market so to speak for some threaded shocks big bore, i don't care for the lst's they look out of place sort of.

Yes they are integy msr8 shocks. If you have big bore shocks get the integy upgrade springs for the msr8 shocks. makes the big bores smoother. That's what I did.
 
Anyone that knows me this truck has been redone way too many times. The last member that worked on it fudged it all up to the point it looks like a hack job from hell and that's the truth. I can't over what has been done to it now. Flex tek arms to Blue Groove sway bars to Prue Nitro extreme engine mod on the new Novarossi 3 port .28. To protect that investment I have installed the New Motor Saver air filter. This is just a few things that have been done for this build.

Last but least the radio. Come Jan. I will order the Futaba 4pk and new battery packs. Is this truck clean? Nope and may never really be.

This truck runs on Acer ceramic bearings all the way thru. You have to buy the kit and a few extra to truly complete it even the clutch bell run on ceramic bearing.


Thanks for looking, More info and pics will follow

Robin did an excellent job polishing that engine mount. I'm not real crazy about the FLM mount. Fitment issues there 2 sets of holes on top of the mount and not 4 set's like Novas. John said the Nova .28 sits way to forward when installing it. Nova racing mount would off set that.

Nova mount allows you to adjust from front to back as well as sideways give you the most adjustment when fitting the cb to the spur FLM does not. Nova mount is 7075 alloy FLM is not. Just giving option when One considers an upgrade for one reason or another. I will use the FLM mount for the Nova .21 that is out being modded by Robin and give it a try. When it comes to a mount I personally like to have as much variable as possible.

Since I already have the werks clutch for the Nova .21 I'm gonna try out the Fioroni clutch and see how that behaves.

Any other options that would be extreme let me know?

I'd like to hear the good and the ugly about this build. Just because I'm the owner of the site doesn't exclude me from what you think. I'll be honest and say that rollbar bites. It doesn't look right but does fit the body I'm using. Might send it to Larsen and see if he can cut one for me that is the same height as that one.
 
I was thinking the same thing Jcam! Sand it down and paint it black, or like you said Brian, get Larsen to make you one the same height as that one!

I am still in awe at this truck........
