Got shipping conformation on most of my items except the tires..

Got in the GT-2 Body today.. Picking up the gloss black paint and the backing paint to. I can't wait to see it finalized. Also what weight oil should i put in my shocks? Also do i need to buy inner foams for these tires?

 

[Combuster]

You gonna mid tank it?

 

[Hypnotiq]

You gonna mid tank it?

Thought about that this morning actually... I heard its like 100+ to do.. I'm gonna go total it up right now.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

I don't think it will cost that much

 

[MikeK1981]

I am gonna go with PRC's 250cc mid-tank and if I remember correctly it came to like $125 or close to it. I think that was with shipping too, though.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

but your prolly going all out you don't have to spend that much. It all depends on what you want and how nice you want it to look.

 

[Hypnotiq]

i want it to look decent not to cheap looking.. I want the servos mounted to the sides of the TVPs. Big tank also..

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

how big of tank you thinking? If you want the ofna 220cc tank the mother of all tanks you can't use the FLM mid plate you would have to find your own way to mount it or get Jasons mid plate (you CAN'T use the older bulks you need X bulks or newer for mounting the 220cc). I myself like the clean look of the Cen/Mugen tank mod. But other people like the Hellfire, MGT, etc.. look around and find what you like best.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Prolly the cheapest nicest looking mid tank you can do. https://www.hpisavageforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6119

[Mickey]

looks like you got some nice looking parts hypnotiq should be a sweet truck when it is together. but you are going to need the engine support braces with the notch in them to clear the rear drive shaft with your xl chassis

 

[Hypnotiq]

Thanks mickey.. Ill look into that tomorrow. I am pretty sure all my items will be in tomorrow.

 

[Hypnotiq]

Had a buddys wife paint my body...


stupid air bubble on the windshield ruins it. I will cut a hole up front.

 

[NITROMITE]

did you remove the protective film? looks like its still on their thats why you have the air bubble.

 

[Hypnotiq]

Naw dude.. I took the film off..

 

[Scott]

Try and take a razor blade and poke a hole in the bubbles..Then take something and run over the bubbles to see if that gets rid of them.. Just my
.02.

[Hypnotiq]

[Scott]

If you have a small squeege try to run that over top of them..

[Combuster]

yeah those are the ones you need but if you can mod yours go for it

 

[NITROMITE]

Naw dude.. I took the film off..

ah thats the window sticker. next time cut the glass (center) out and just leave the trim this will elimanate the chance of bubbles.
