lel-95 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 chassis is straight now, i took the bulkhead bolts out and the IRC brace sprung back to its original shape so just tweaked the chassis to match, only had to go a few mm. Think if this chassis keeps bending i'll go for an IRC one, I'd love a Kraken but i don't bash hard enough to justify the extra cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lel-95 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Posty brought some new bits this morning so its all rebuilt and ready to roll again broken bits Got a set of fornt Dirt busters coming off a mate and another set of front rims in the post, i'm thinking of running fronts all round, saw a few people running like that and they seem to hook up a lot better where i run so i'll give it a shot and see.

lel-95 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Looks like I'll be missing this weekends bash, ordered some KM front foams to finish my wheels off and they just simply dont fit! They are about an inch bigger than the tyre itself and just plain refuse to go inside, dont know why i bother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lel-95 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I've ordered 5t 190mm foams rather than the 5b170mm ones i needed, my bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Have you got any pipe insulation? Cut and glue/tape it together at right length. Ran a set of fronts like this for a while... does the job if you haven't got the foams... or cut and tape the 5t ones unless you want to send them back. Just gets you running Edited January 21, 2016 by (-:AD:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteh316 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 How much stronger is that front end now with the alloy added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gets you running They're for the rear oddly enough, i'm going to be running fronts all round so cut up foams on the rear may lead to a disaster ordered the right ones this time but i doubt they will be here for sunday 7 minutes ago, scatteh316 said: How much stronger is that front end now with the alloy added hopefully strong enough to last more than 5 mins unlike the plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_RCModelz Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If you ordered wrong ones off me you can send them back for a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
