Typhon Anyone running TP 4050cm 3200kv on 6s?

I think that the wheel nuts should be okay. Do you or anyone have a suggestion though as to which hubs/hexes will give 2mm or so addition extension over stock?

AR310484 measures at 16.5 mm (Outcast Kraton Talion)
AR310447 measures at 13.6 mm (typhon )

I would have to change the axles at all 4x corners from typhon to Kraton on top of the hexes. I may do it, but it is 3.1mm longer at each corner - it may be too much ?

Bi-wing is designed, fabbed, and test fitted. Tekno wheel nuts deanodized and ready to polish.

That Porsche body is going to look very cool on top of all that kit, ...agree that you've got to make it fast if you're putting a Porsche body on it.

Good luck with it and look forward to seeing your progress.

Porche Bodies have great aero. for speed . Good choice. Very nice work!

Minor nerdy update - changed the foam 8 in the battery tray inserts from blue to green to match the other items

Progress. Body and wiring is almost complete. Had to make my own window trim for all and black vinyl.

Tamiya PS-23 Gun Metal (4x cans), and Tamiya PS-31 Smoke for window tinting took 2x lite coats.

@joostin420 ... The car looks AWESOME..!!! ????

I still think you should hit it with Tamiya PS-55 Flat Clear Polycarbonate Spray on the outside though..??

 

[joostin420]

Thanx I wanted to spray a flat coat on the outside.

I don't know I think it looks good as is, ...problem with spraying it on the outside is the slightest touch/bump etc and you'd mark the finish.

 

[joostin420]

That is my worry so I didn’t do it ?

I think you've made the right decision.
After all you're not trying to replicate that GT3 are you, just take some styling cues from it.

 

[joostin420]

Finally ready for the maiden voyage tomorrow hopefully ?

 

[GMballistic]

Best of luck @joostin420 .

 

[jondilly1974]

That’s one hell of a machine you made there. Hope it goes well. ??

Chassis is great. My pretty body not so much ?. Will need to make another body for show now.

Need to trim the front lip of the body, it is way too low. Couldn’t get up to speed due to this. I think this is the cause of the flip and roof slide.

 

[GMballistic]

Sorry to see it's been upside down already but still it's the nature of the beast.

On the flip side though, from the videos that thing is a flippin' rocket, ...just seemed like it wanted to go and had so much left in it.
Can't wait to see more from it.

There really has to be a shelf/garage body, and then one to drive with. Suck that it got all scratched up like that, it sure was pretty!

Lots of cool styles to be had with Delta Plastics https://deltaplastikusa.com/collections/1-8th-rc-bodies

Just ordered another body for the shelf coming from Europe - first from Finland now from Germany
