Hey guys and gals! Just wanted to introduce myself and share my current project!
I have been involved in motorsports all my life (from racing motox, to race karts) I was involved in the design, and development of GT Race Karts and we competed at the highest level of the sport against European manufacturers. RC cars have always been something I enjoyed (my first 2 I raced where the RC10 Gold pan and Losi JRXT) . I have always loved my MGT so figured I would put some of my experience to use and design something fun.
The MGT is such an Awesome platform and with the lack of new quality aftermarket parts I have decided to start producing some myself!
All aluminum parts are made with 7075-T6
Steering Knuckles. Optimized the pillow ball hole to allow more steering angle, takes a 16x5mm bearing (stock are a tiny 12x4)! so upgrading to 8mm axles is a snap now or you can stick with stock 6mm axles .
Diff Case: 3 bearing support instead of 2, added adjustment room so it can be properly shimmed for precise gear engagement. Unique aggressive look
Carbon Chassis: I loved the look of the HCR chassis. This is my take on it. 4mm Carbon fiber bottom plate, Aluminum Side Supports, 2mm Carbon fiber top plate. this weighs almost half as much as the original chassis! I am also going to have some made with aluminum top and bottom plates for you bashers!
I have been working on this for months now. I had prototypes 3d printed for initial mock up, a ton of computer simulation, and have now moved on to a small run of the parts so I can do final fit. Once I get them in from the machine shop I will post pictures! the thing I am personally excited most to get is the chassis
I have a number of other parts under development as well that I will share. If there is anything you guys would like to see let me know!
