Clubin’s 5t build

[blackrain]

Chinese copy of a team chase cage. couldn’t find a team chase cage anywhere.
I fired it up for a few minutes.
It runs! View attachment 84180View attachment 84181

Nice she looks good and ready to run

Looks like a perfect Basher bud. Excited to see some videos of it

 

[Clubin]

Can anyone confirm this is even a little bit close to the team Chase cage? There is no way it will fit without cutting it right to nothing.
Bone head wheelie bar was a pita! Lol. Some mcGyvering was done. But it’s on and looks good. One thing I noticed is ABEC7 bearings in the wheel. Metal shielded. I ordered some rubber shielded bearings. ABEC3 is all it needs to be.

What front axels are you using?

What front axels are you using?

This kit. Doesn’t say but I’m guessing Taylor. https://www.taylorrc.co.uk/product-page/baja-190mm-brp-spikes-full-kit

 

[Mick Boomer]

I meant the front axels you currently have installed

 

[Clubin]

They are vertigo clipless front axles

And dark soul hub extenders front and rear

 

[John Parks]

Cage just need the 2 inside supports unscrewed. Nothing should need cut, bonehead bars are one of my favorites, they bend just bend them back with heat

Did you get er finished? Just dropped 1200 to Detroit Performance. I will be rebuilding my Hpi 5t very similar to yours soon.

Still at it. Snow on the ground now. Busy time of year for me. I got a bunch of stuff I haven’t even opened up yet from Taylor and Ddm.

Does your pipe stinger hit the turnbuckle when the shock is compressed?
Looks like mine will and only thing i know to do is shorten stinger which makes my butthole pucker….
Why does mike build his pipes quirky

Yes it does at full lock full compression. Not bad though. But it hits it.

No way to twist the pipe up a hair? Is it hard mounted or is there an isolator bushing?

 

[Mick Boomer]

There is a rubber isolator there. May be able to order a taller isolator if the pipe will flex up enough. I don’t have mine mounted yet but i think 3/16-1/4 inch would help a lot since we are using a cage.

 

[Rep732]

Don't have to go up just rotate the pipe like 1/8". Is the pipe bracket slotted like the olimat for the 5ive t?

 

[Mick Boomer]

No Its got a flat mount. The other problem would be the header to pipe springs will keep it strait.

 

[Rep732]

You can have some twist in the springs as long as the pipe is straight with the coupler. May have to break out the dremel to have an X and Y axis in that bracket as the back and forth adjustment foes no justice in that situation.

 

[Mick Boomer]

I agree the pipe needs to be spun. Its pointed directly at the tire anyway much less hitting the turnbuckle. Easy fix for mike but I bet he has 100 pipes sitting around he don’t want to have to mod. Badass pipe just not clocked right.

Yes. That’s the issue. I’m going to run mine the way it is. But spacing it up ⅛” would eliminate the interference.
