Chassis and cage/tower supports on new MT V4

[LightForce]

I added 4mm AL plate and nylon/delrin 1/2 rods to support tower and cage.


3 tanks thru it and still everything is straight. 1.3 pound in added weight.


Total weight 29.4 with full tank.


XB 24.5 and 3/8 rods

Looks great!

BTW: Is that all Baja5B fronts on the XT, and all 5b rears on the MT? Not to steer your thread off track.

I've seen your vids, seems like the all fronts works pretty well. Which do you favor?

I'm curious why you didn't counter sink your screw holes so you're not grindin the heads off when you run.....

I did not counter sink them cause this will weaken the chassis plate and cause it to crack , it happened before on other RC`s.

I also used socket type screws with bigger washer to squeeze the chassis plate with chassis as much as possible. I don`t care about the screws they are for 4mm key and 100 Pcs is 9$ at Mcmaster.

However they might slow you down when landing off the high jumps sometimes...

XB runs on all 4 5b fronts I prefer Hostile Mini MX all around , MT runs on a 4 5b rears Hostile Mini MX Hard are prefferred I use sometimes Dirtbusters but I can tear them of wheel or rip them in 10 minutes sometime.

Mini MX`s are good for this track you can send XB sideways 15 feet before the turn starts lots of dust tho.
