Carbon SX5 build

[blackrain]

What Alx engine? If the Alx is more powerful than the rc 50 then that needs to go in the hybrid after all it’s a carbon sx5 wich is a lot lighter than the hybrid. Don’t want to over power it

It's a 96cc doesn't matter it will be completely stupid in anything

Put the alx in ya baja.......I'd not drill ...just me

What I'm leaning towards

 

[Z.hb71]

So I'm in a dilemma. The new ALX engine has a bit different mounting pattern than the rest, so I either need to redrill the rck5 chassis or just put it in this baja and the rc50 in the hybrid. What's everyone's thoughts?

throw the alx in the trash

You might need to add a set of wings along with the wheelie bar. I’m watching your build and Portcity and taking notes on all the cool parts

 

[John Parks]

Got most of my parts in . Still waiting on a few things from DDM, and the arms to be back from the anodizer

 

[John Parks]

Thoughts everyone. So arms are being anodized black, do I leave the front hubs raw along with the servo saver and servo brace, or have them done in black as well.

 

[misterleon]

I think you should anodize a bunch of pieces mcd bronze

 

[DougStar]

Bit of contrast is good

I think you should anodize a bunch of pieces mcd bronze

Buy an ultimate for that

Although bronze actually would have looked awesome, and dammit. Now ypu have me thinking

Yep get it done

 

[John Parks]

I'm thinking maybe just the arms bronze, tr servo saver, front/ rear hubs and the fast eddy servo setup. Thoughts?

 

[PortCityRC]

I left my hubs and spindles raw, so its gotta be different ...here's a heiny shot
And if you using the red arrows grab deans flm style front shock tower. You will need it.

Got a little done this morning before bed (going on nights). Diff has 1 mil in it,, end up with likely a locker. Still have alot to go as you can tell

 

[Milo]

Why such a stiff diff in a light rig John?

 

[Mick Boomer]

Nice! Why don't you rit dye that tank. I dyed my Vekta tank. Came out great

Haven't honestly thought about it lol. Havea pic of it?

Well this will likely be getting the 96cc from alx so figured we will try 1mil first

 

[misterleon]

Are you sure the alx 96 will be big enough

 

[John Parks]

Their will likely be bigger down the road so probably not

To be fair if you got a 3D printed alx 96 instead it would be cheaper and just as fast while sitting on the shelf

Although that is true, my coolness level would drop to where yours is
