Bizzer’s Digger

[Bizzer]

So, I got in on the pre-order and now finally getting around to the build.


Got right down to brass tacks and pulled the stocker without even firing it for a 50 GT.


Tank raised with some rubber stand offs via Amazon


Installed the 2” wheelbase extension kit.

Relocated the sway bar stop collars to the inside of the frame as I didn’t like the way they sat on the extended sway bar.





Switched out brake servo for a Hitec DWP 845

Bushing mod completed for pinion gears

Intentions were to install Taylor drive cups and do the diff mod with longer bolts and lock nuts but the bolts I got weren’t quite long enough.

Unfortunately being from Canada I have a hard time finding bolts and hardware and forced to order it from eBay which take forever to arrive. Bolts are on the slow boat from China so I’ll address those items at a latter date once the bolts get here.

Got the steering servos switched out for AGFRC.

That engine is definitely a beast for the truck. Looks great, and I had no idea how compact it is. Is the engine compact enough to pull in and out of the frame without loosening some of the side frame bolts?

 

[deathrawt]

You still need to loosen the side plates to get the 50gt out unfortunately, unless you cut the center out of the side plate

I found kits of bolts on ali express, you can find almost any bolt and many styles of kits to fit your needs of head type, length, black or stainless. The price of a hole kit is usually close to what you'd pay for a couple bolts if you find them

 

[dirby]

are these bolts any good?

Yes, i ordered many times b4...all goodget the titanium ones...

You need to realize there are a lot of rebranded and more expensive kits that sell the identical bolts etc as on Ali express and other direct from China sites.

Yes, you do need to be careful of any product from china, they do not respect copyrights and clone everything that gets made there, and if you find something that seems way to cheap...they will us the cheapest materials to have a low price, but you can have the same problem on amazon. Hard to tell, you can get the best stuff and worst stuff from china, they don't care if they make crap, just money!

Yes, you are right, but...if you know where to buy in china you can have a great deal in a fair price,most of chineese ppl are amazing and honest! Some ppl are poop and give a bad rap on otheres.. for every screw there are 10.000 factories who make it, you just need someone from inside china to do the search for you..as i have
