[rcaddic]

That would be great look forword to seeing your build .

Know not to much done with work being slow but I did get the SPI Pro stock 3.2 bashing wheels with life time warranty.
I din't get the rims glued up yet but I did weigh them and compare them to the Desperado's

Desperado's

SPI

The scale was set to gram's

You will love those rims..

Finished up the suspension on the builds . so now they sit for a while my chevy need tire's , ball joints and tie rods ends and wheel alignment .
If its not one thing its another , now I can really feel builder blue's and the up grade sickness is kicking in to , I think I'll make a sign (will work for up grade's) and stand in front of my lhs

They look sweet. I just bought 2 rotors and 1200 dollars worth of tires for my truck.

[rcaddic]

My real forum name is rebuild , I was out of the hobby for a bit and I forgot what e-mail and what password I used so I started a new one and could not reuse the name rebuild so rcaddic was born LOL

How strong is that FLM chassis, is that the total FLM LCG kit....I'm on an ordering spree the last few days.....let me know, might want to use it for a low slug savage x I'm working on.....unless you know someplace else I could look.....do they make it in black?

I picked up all my FLM parts at http://www.rc-monster.com/products.php?cat=109
don't see them in black but I have seen guys send them out to have them anodized.
and IMO they are a lot stronger , only prob I had was the engine is very close to the TVP and had to use button head bolts to fit the engine and engine mount , was a easy fix

Ok, I've been doing some computer shopping and found this item, has anyone tried it, can it be used for nitro applications?

I've never build an electric R/C, what do you guys think, I want to mount a nitro engine on it.

Never mind the previous post I got a hold of he guys at alza-racing they said the nitro TVPs, are already manufactured and should be ready to ship in a couple weeks (2 weeks)

The kit is for converting your savage into a savage 5T

When I had a look on they're web page the alza racing 5t TVPs look like an LCG kit, more so than the kershawdesigns 5t TVPs

 

[rcaddic]

started working on a delrin cage , think I need to make some kinda mounts be for I go any further .
there not done yet but here is what I came up with so far

I find this stuff is a bit tricky to heat to the right temp for bending it , bending up and making two rods the same with out a jig is a trick in it self , wish there was a good write up on delrin cage making with lots of how to in it LOL.
but so far so good
Open for Idea's and input

Thanks Bro , feels good to get some work done to them but out of respect for my engine I can't start break in onto the cage is done , some times I can't control my trigger finger

Ok I used the same FLM TVPs and now I have this question. What are your plans on keeping your wires from servos and batteries hidden or safe?
