it really sucks to have worked hard on coming up with solutions for problems that the original design has, and having some guy with a cnc machine ripping your design off.

just wanted to let you know what this guy is all about.

Mrsnuggles, I have your bashcat brace and I love it. But going around telling people he is a copy cat wont make your products any better. FYI, years before you come up with that brace there were already people who were using double brace on their savage, almost identical to your design. He MIGHT have got the idea after looking at your brace but he improved the design and used better, lighter material, 7075.
And your design is not patented either.. you cant claim that its your design though. Perhaps you could come out with a better design to outperform his? And I would love to get that from you.

Well nobody likes competitors...
If he makes a particular part for flux and that part cant be made in 10 diferent ways...i really dont know how u can call him copy cat.
But anyway..all i care for is low price and good quality products!
Alza racing is all about that and more...i have most of the parts made by him and i can say he is got top noch RC parts and price is great!!!!
Personaly i will buy everthing possible form him as he really lisens to customers wishes and he always tries to realize them in a short as possible time and from a very good and strong material!
Also remember..he is not cutting only savage parts but a lot more other stuff!
And yes, finally we in EU got a nice RC shop wich will not take ur every penny to cut you something. Alza racing is a GooD company and he is a good guy!!! Many people are more than impressed with hes stuff.

If someone cuts cheaper and makes even better and stronger parts isnt that a good thing?

I personally never hear of any bashcatRC...never.
But i heard of alza racing, gcm racing, RC Monster and so on. As they have internet site where u can actually find products and buy them.

No... at least not yet. I believe he meant the electric conversion kit.

[Arct1k]

Correct. Referring to the baja kit

Hi.

The rear dogbone is standard XL rear dogone regarding lenght.

But as i tested those pink+yellow was much harder than with short springs.
Than again could even use 2x red spring..anyway...well i need to test the shocks on Baja first and than will see how and what.

So Thzero - ur 5b is like 8kg with 24mm hex and baja wheels, that is not bad at all!

Must also say, there is space for bigger motors...can use 1520 or 1717 in this kit as hole is big so motors up to 100mm can fit also 1717 diameter is not an issue here!

About the cups, that is what i ment...no bigger cups for center dogbones that mach gearbox and diff pinions..well i didnt make the kit, but i like the FAT dogbones!

At the moment i got 2200kv CC combo, motor mount was grinded, works perfect ! Will order than that 1520 sucker. I also got 5S and 6S lipos will test them both. Hope V3 will not go Puff-puff ...no pass! ;)
Well i like 1717 becaus eof its size, also everything in the motor is bigger, will take less heat and so on...but i dont like RPM max.

Oh, and here how i marked and grinded motor clamps..pic already been posted in another thread but anyway...







This set of clamps where grinded for even bigger motor!
Grinded vs. stock motor clamp.



Had this CC 2200kv and grinded clamps in my Savage XL


Also received a package today from a good RC friend, thanks bud!

14lbs is pretty good. Think the 1520 will move it ok?

[thzero]

Yes. The 2200kv motor I have in my 5T/5B moves it quite well, about 40mph or so. And mine ready to go (baja 5b tires) weighs in at 16.4 on 5S and about 17 on 6S. Moving to the 1520 though with the center diff conversion.
