the bugs new mods
my fg beetle has served me well and taken ages to get to the spec and standard i was after its proven itself quite reliable upto now the spec so far is
full alloy build including hubs wishbones engine mounts ect the only plastic parts left are a few rose joints
m&r alloy rollcage
front fg tuning cable brakes
rear tps layshaft hydro
carbon fibre radio tray
carbon fibre front shock tower/mount
fg 20mm fat shocks with alloy piston mod hpi oil 25wt fr/35wt rr
tps hardened gears stock ratio's
most if not all screws/bolts/nut are stainless
the engine was built by ian oddie in 2006 for himself [io06]@6hp plus over 3nm of torque
walbro wt 771 chokeless
23cc oddified 4 bolt heli with copper head+exhaust gasket plus zero drag seals
alloy insulator block
thicker msd ht lead
victory pipe
stock fg air filter set up using tps 3 layer foam plus another foam then outerwares
stock fg wheels with king cobra step studs all round
the next step in mods are on there way now for my xmas prezzies from wifey and my little princess thanks xxxxxxx
ive got the tps redrace v2 ignition kit coming with tps hpi wheel adapters and a set of tps own wheels there like desperados with bow tie type tyres a set of the 7pc hand tools and a piston ring
got a result with the wheels on special offer 20%off @69euros and the redrace kits on offer to 20%off that as well @135.??
so hopefully the piston ring peps the oddie up a bit the tps is meant to add 15% more power and torque across whole rev range and help it rev quicker like it needs more power,but the hpi wheels are slightly bigger so this may change my gearing a bit so should even things out and the better grip from the wider rear wheels and better tyres cant do no harm
if im lucky i will post pics of parts up before xmas if not looks like were waiting till xmas day i will try and get loads of fitting pics and vids running after new year
