heres my shiny new polished LST pipe just finished stripping the paint off and polishing it with mothers alloy mag polish


Could of got it shiner if i used my dremel, but i like the more matt colour of it

ANd u can see the homemade wing mount to, its made of 5mm carbon fibre sheeting and is bolted through the body mounts to add strength

Evader ---> MGT

Holy Crap that's a good idea!

Where did you get the CF and how'd you cut it? Dremel?

Is that an ST-1 mount?

scottywilkes

nope, its a old buggy from way back. Its 5mm carbon fibre that i got from someone, and i cut it with a dremel

duckedup

scotty's gonna have a wing .......j/k


Seems like it should pretty damn solid, leverage might be a problem though......keep us posted on how she holds up

scottywilkes

will do, getting a wing for it tomorrow, so il take it with me to the onroad meet and test it with some wheelies, im afraid thats all i can do with this dam carb, i might throw some epoxy on it tonight and see if that works though

I was worried that leverage would snap my shock tower off, so I made a brace to go down to the chassis. So far so good. I'm using a mugen wing mount.

I hate you guys that have access to metal working/milling tools

Nice looking wing mount scotty [8D]

Bria1

Haha, all I used was a hack saw, file, cordless drill, and a lot of patience.

Evader ---> MGT

That's what a dremel is for! lol

Were can you buy just carbon fiber at.

CTDave

My Feedback: (1)

Hi webdr,did you have any luck with the package getting there before the weekend? I was hoping it would.

scottywilkes

but it from a store LOL, i just got mine from a mate, he had a bit sheet of it laying around, so i cut a little for my self.

And honestly, do u think il be able to tell u which store to get it from when i like 1000s of miles away

Snaut Rocket

Well Im pretty sure the home depot or lowes dosent cary it.

scottywilkes

go to a boat place, im sure they will have carbon sheeting as boats usually have some carbon fibre in them.

Snaut Rocket

hey scotty is the rrp spur medal.

scottywilkes

u dont pay much attention do you, a simple check of there site would tell u that nearly all there products are made from steel. And we have been talking about RRP spurs alot on this forum.

DirtBonez

Hey Snaut Rocket if you can't get that carbon fiber locally you can most likely get it off ebay. There is not much you can't get off ebay I dont think they sell real aircraft tho Lol.

scottywilkes

yep u can buy 1:1 aircraft and helicopters

Ok well wing works, looks good, got a novarossi carb coming for the TTR28 now cause this stocko carb is really peeving me off






O yeah and i got another NTC3 today hehe, a Factory team one of a person i was racing iwth, got it cheap and it has all the facotry team bits





Just finsihed transfering most of the stuff onto the new chassis

Coadster67

Hey guys
i remember a while back someone told me putting in a FOC and the lst pipe would help me wheelie better. Is this pipe sufficient?

scottywilkes

yep, but get it off of Ebay, u can pick them up alot cheaper than that, from people wtih chop shops

Snaut Rocket

hey guys im looking into a new engine. Dont ask me why i just am. I'm looking at the lrp spec, mach 427 and the xtm 28 pro. the last 2 I was really looking into them because i could get them really cheap on ebay. And ive heard good things about them. I was looking at the lrp cause apperntly thats the best engine you can get for it for the price. but I havnet shimmed my diffs so im scared it will ruin my diffs. Has anybody used one of these three engines and wich one is the easiest to tune and wont be the worst on my diffs.

snowbl!nd

^ Easy answer - shim your diffs and get the LRP. If you don't want to spend that much on the engine then get either of other two engines. Whetever you do though - shim those diffs!

webdr

Drop one to two teeth on the clutch bell and you wont need to buy either! The result will be a little less top speed but I could barely tell.
