I wonder how much that thing weighs?

03.06.2005, 05:08 PM

George, thanks for posting pics here. Sylvester I will try to get it weighed, I've a feeling it will go off my 2kg post scales!

This truck started life as a humble Sport maxx, after alot of searching and modifying it looks like this. I haven't finished yet but I want to give it a good run tomorrow and I've a feeling its not going to look so shiny again! I will give it a good coat of WD40 to help with cleaning it again though.

The main specs are:
.23 Sirio drop in with a RB .21 exhaust (need to get a better header for it though)
Gorilla race suspension kit
FLM .21 4 point chassis and braces
FLM Hybrid rear, normal front bulkheads
Robinson spur gear
Front Full Force locking anti-roll mechinism and roll bar
7.4v battery pack (did away with casing)
Shumacher Menace fuel tank (best fit for the chassis holes)

Lots of other stuff off ebay. Its all alloy and some Ti but have kept the body mounts and bumper mounts stock for obvious reasons.

I will try to get some vids to post here tomorrow.
Thx
Dov

I use the same chassis on my t. Nice truck. It fits right in on this forum. Welcome aboard!

Are those UE titanium cvd's your using on the rear?

Those GPM's in the front, how are they?

03.06.2005, 06:24 PM

Yes they are GPM Ti front CVD's I'm not too sure about them, they dont seem fit particulary well. Normally a cvd pushes up against the inside knuckle bearing - these dont. (theres around a 5mm gap!) I put a standard maxx wheel bearing on the cvd before fitting to space it correctly. I also used a shim to protect the two bearings together, i'm not sure how it will work out though. They come left and right hand threaded which is also a bit of a pain.

The rear Ti cvd's are great - they fit and run well, sorry I'm not sure the manufacturer, I though they were GPM too, but they dont come with cups which seems silly.
