before going to XL
i bought an XL TVP on ebay for $20:D i think its good deal. i will convert my savage x to xl but i will not widen it. before i work on it.i would like ask everybody's opinion on just upgrading to a longer chassis w/out the wide stance.will it make the trUck look silly?[:o]
thanks |
RE: before going to XL
It will look goofy.. You'll have a wider turning radius but more stability while in the air.

RE: before going to XL
Pro Line and others I am sure make an off set wheel that will make your stance very close to that of the XL. I usually converted mine the other way first, going for the width and heavier drive axle bones on my X. Then I just bought a set of plates and a long rear bone. I think I have some photos in my gallery showing the off set wheels. Glen

RE: before going to XL
no i don't think it will look goofy cause i went to xl length but not width and i think it looks cool.
thats xl length but i don't have xl width http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...2-12150108.jpg |
RE: before going to XL
what colour is that candy apple red? Its amazing how the right set of wheels and tyres on a monster truck makes it look good:D

RE: before going to XL
I think the XL length looks better. Brings it more to scale.

RE: before going to XL
does the rear center dog bone fit in the savage x drive cup? thanks for the picture man.:D
|
RE: before going to XL
Ur welcome, well the only XL parts in those pictures are the tvps the rear center dog bone and the motor plate every thing else is x parts. See I bought a kit from a main hobbies that came with the rear center dog bone motor plate and the tvps, so if the stock XL dog bone is the same as the rtr then yes cause it fit in mine cause I wanted the lenght but not the width.
|
RE: before going to XL
The rear center bone is longer on the XL, but has the same size drive cups. The differential to axle bones are much heavier and take a larger axle and drive cup, but are the same length. The outside axle is where they get the added width. Glen
