Ofna GTP build
 

I just picked up a new Ofna GTP and it is time to build. I am looking to run either a Medusa 36/70 2300Kv with the MMM or the 2200kv MMM combo. I am going for nitro enbarrising fast but with drivability. Let me know your suggestions.

the mmm 2200 combo on 5s should do the trick

cant beat the combo

Why not on 6? I have two 3S1P packs. Now all I have to do is get the the carbon fiber chassis, shock towers, stiffening plates and other pieces cut and I will be good to go. Throw in rear pillow balls to increase handling tuning, CVD's all around, and foams on all four corners...that should yield me one nice beastly monster of a racer.

I would do the MMM 2200 combo on 6s... literally; I have a GTP with RCM mount and Castle 2200 motor and some 6s batts, all I need is another ESC to get it going (could steal one from another rig I suppose). Still need to paint the body too.

Here is what I have so far.Its a freakin monster.I am running 3s with a Neu 1515.5y 4400kv.This car is only 9.5 lbs so it never overheats and its a blast to drive.Really fast and ya gotta run foam tires.The rubber tires arent balanced as well.Get the hardened steel ring gears for the front and rear diffs.Have fun:party::whip:

[threadjack] Phatmonk where did you get the .5y motor? [/threadjack]

Yeah, the stock tires are crap IMO. They balloon and the foam gets all bunched up in one spot. This happened on my GTP and the tires ended up ripping apart the fender area behind the rear set. It is a fun car to drive though, even on "only" 5s, and that's on a 1512 motor; I can't imagine the tire spin on a 1515 motor.

I don't need to imagine it. I know first-hand. :mdr:

Throw a 1515/1y in there on 6s geared 20/51 and you'll see what I mean. :lol:

Monk,

Where did you get the carbon chassis? I am thinking about cutting one myself, but if i can get on CNC'ed i would go that route.

lol, No thanks, it's bad enough on 5s and a 1512 motor...

The build continues...
 

Finally got the beast out of the box and first impressions...weight loss...she got to lose some weight and I have to sure up the chassis. While I am waiting to get the cash to by a 12x24 sheet of 4.4mm CF, I took some 1/8 Cf and fashioned and front to center to rear brace. I also cut out the servo tray using the same CF. I mocked up the positions of the battery tray and motor mount. By the way the Tekno Motor mount is as sweet as they come. I don't inticipate any chassis flex. More to come....

Looking sweet man. Nice work on the CF pieces.

What are the options for beefing up the GTP's diffs?
