Speedytriple Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Hi guys, there's a seller on Ebay selling FTX6323 upgrade rear dogbones to CVD. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FTX6323-UPGRADE-FTX-Carnage-Bugsta-Rear-U-J-Shafts-2-Pieces-NO-MORE-LOSING-/154506474172?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I'm guessing g these are just fronts CVD's? Any ideas if the front carnage CVD's fit the rears? My rears are locking at full droop and I guess this may solve it? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carnage on 3s can be tricky to use sometimes so jus wanted it to be a bit more stable when goin flat out, most my flips are from over correcting the steering so hopefully this will help. Will keep the page updated once it's fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi yea these fit as I have them on mine as I lost 2 when I had a bit of a tumble. So I asked on here (as a few days before I lost the 1stone someone posted that they changed them over ) so I fitted these and they work fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also used one most weekends for months on end, but only for around 5 or 10 minutes on each occasion. Would only take the wind to pick up slightly for something to snap off and cease play 😩🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratty McRaticus Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Hi all. Had my brushed carnage 2.0 for a month and already destroyed the front bumper lol. Obviously the bumper is cheap and easy to replace, although it'd be nice to be able to buy the Y bracket separately. My issue is with the front mount screw holes on the main chassis as they are drilled so close to the edge of the chassis they broke through after my first collision. I have seen there is a carnage/vantage front chassis part listed at my local model shop and was hoping to find out if it would fit the standard carnage chassis? I don't want to have to replace the entire chassis if possible just for the same weak point to go again. Any advice appreciated and apologies for the rambling lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkbythesea Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Change the bumper for a Zorro bumper, soooo much better and tougher, you’ll need some 20mm screws for the top mounts https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FTX-Zorro-Torro-Front-Bumper-Set-FTX6953-/194102218862?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 The stock plastic chassis is utterly rubbish and afaik you can’t just change that one piece as all the OG chassis’ I’ve seen have been onepiece, unless they’ve recently changed them - best way forward is an alloy replacement chassis which will make the car better and stronger all round https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/ftx-carnage-full-chassis-aluminium-1-set-373622 Sometimes you can buy them slightly cheaper from Chinese websites like AliExpress 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was tempted by the aluminium chassis just a bit tight budget wise atm, definitely going to give it another look now though. The zorro bumper is a good shout, is it a direct replacement fit wise?

Madmoz7610 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Well as I said, this is the Zorro bumper fitted, looks soo much better than the standard bumper, sticks out a bit much but as long as it lasts longer than standard I don't mind lol also added the pics of the Ali front upgrades, next is the wheelie bar and the x6fg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothin damaged, ran the 2s an 3s through it, only niggle is the reverse don't work as good as when it's on the etronix so goin back to that, gyro is awesome tho lol And because it's not been ran in about a month the battery's don't seem as good but hopefully they come back after a few more run cycles. Also the Zorro bumper is amazing in long grass, it now glides across it with the big plate compared to jus gettin stuck lol best buy so far for it.
