Bobby 5ive-T 2.0

Ahh yes...if you want your clutch housing to fit you have to notch it out for the brakes to fit.. i used a v1 vertigo clutch housing and notched it and yea your 1.0 clutch bell carrier is useless here and didnt you order a whole clutch housing/carrier setup?

Yeah but I was wanting to set it up temporarily to run tomorrow the new housings will be arriving on monday

 

[Rep732]

gotcha... the clutch housing will work if you cut it. I know that much. Not sure if the carrier will

 

[misterleon]

Electronics sorted, mod straps and chassis braces in?


First of the weight savings done


I’ll probably cut more off. Thinking to cut the side trays just after the last body mount, cut up the read bumper some? and drill holes through the front bumper and side tray as well

shocks are almost done just waiting for bubbles to settle. Red springs and 40wt in front and 45 in rear will be my starting point and ill tune from there.



Cut the cage to fit the air filter



engine will be getting new covers and clutch housings. Sticking with the fs clutch with 8.5k spring for now but may buy the mod clutch in the future



New wheels are on the way j concept chasers seem to be what’s recommended by Dan silage and Matt Olson so ill give them a go

 

[misterleon]

Hey y’all haven’t updated here in a while. Upgrades since the last update are j concept chasers, MOD clutch more tuning to the suspension and drilled out more of the plastics.

As she sits now.



Drilling out the panels serves two purposes. 1 is weight savings and 2 is allowing dirt to exit the body which will save even more weight.



Red springs on all 4 corners w/ 42.5 wt up front and 45 wt in rear



Broke in and ran the new mod clutch today and oh my is it a huge upgrade.



didn't tape the foams for last Sunday and oh my did I pay the price. got them taped up and should be good to go for the next track day

Better report on how long that clutch lasts.

Clutch is something I want to hear more of?? whats the costing?
Drilling hole will balance out all the gaffer tape ? don't forget us here now that you on the road to the big time??

So I bought the clutches (got one for the 5b as well) for $100 during Black Friday. The clutch rebuild kit costs $70 so it’s a huge cost over the fs clutch. In my initial break in and test I can say that it is a huge upgrade. For the 5ive I think it may be as big of an improvement as a top tier tuned pipe over the fart can. It accelerates effortlessly almost as if the rig is 10 pounds lighter and a huge selling point is that it’s advertised to not suffer from clutch fade ever. I’m very happy with it, but now I just have to see what kind of durability I can get out of it. I’ll keep y’all posted for sure

Some times you gain weight sometimes you can shed weight.?‍ A company out in Germany makes an adapter to use the mcd fuel tank on the fives. Supposedly it’s a huge weight savings. I just can’t understand what the website says?‍?

 

[misterleon]

Almost 10 tanks of fuel through this rig and still haven’t broken anything. The body is completely destroyed though

 

[misterleon]

Keeping these rigs as dedicated racers has been good for the wallet? first upgrades in over a month. Next on the list is the tlr -15* caster blocks

Did you happen to save all the plastic you cut out to see what it all weighed?

When I changed out my diff cups and bones in the baja for FLM gear I gained half a pound! I wish I had all the stock parts along with my baja (came upgraded) so I could weigh and compare. I have a feeling it just might be lighter/faster/cheaper to not add half this stuff we do, run stockish and maintain. Just some food for thought before you start cutting more holes and bumpers off. ?

I don’t have a scale, but making the rig as light as possible is 100% a good idea. everything is basically still stock. This truck has a 34 reed, exhaust, servos aluminum braces and some better quality l5b stock parts like the hinge pin braces and booted axles. The only other upgrades that I see making this rig faster is the MOD shocks.

? it would be funny you doing all this work
And i beat you with your old rig ???

Oh boy. I have no doubt that the rig could beat mine but I have trouble believing that the person holding the controller would be good enough??

 

[Seandonato73]

Point to Bob.....?

 

[Markcarr]

My wife said i was the BEST crasher on Saturday
