Cool build! Whose aluminum bulkheads were those? I was looking through the thread but couldn’t find where you’d mentioned it.Finale after the build is done. Vid content incoming tomorrow!! <===== As all proper build threads should have lmao
Brand new RPM bumper on the front and the older RPM bumper moved to the rear. Also a custom rear body post support was designed, printed, and installed.
IMO sickest Notorious ALIVE!!!!!
And yes the wing mount is custom and yes you cannot break it lololol!!

My xmaxxy got treated with vitavon. The notorious has all gpm bulks/hinge pin/chassis braces. I am surprised though for the money they seem like quality parts.
Yeah, I only do Vitavon on my “premium” builds. I too have had good luck with the GPM stuff. I’ve never tried their bulkheads, but after watching your video it was impressive how good their tolerances were and that they didn’t even require shimming. Plus, they’re almost 1/2 the price of the Vitavons. I saw that Treal has their stuff out now, but I’m waiting on more feedback to come in before I try them. They’re known for good stuff, but they’re really new to the Arrma line.
I have CF shock towers and Ackerman on my K6 and I send that thing as hard and high as I possibly can and NO issues. I'm still kinda new so i don't totally know what to expect but I don't hold back. Also just ordered some more shock towers, Ackerman, top plate along with tower to tower brace and mud guards from BQ for a build I'm about to start. Am I supposed to be careful with CF??
In the past I had always heard to avoid CF towers because they could snap on hard roof landings, whereas HD aluminum towers would only bend. But a lot of people here have since said they’ve experienced no reliability issues at all in really hard bashing with carbon towers. I think @nomis38 has sold me on the idea, and I’ll be trying some out when my NOTO gets a rebuild. I’ve always wanted to save on the weight, but have always been too apprehensive.
Saw that CF on ebay but didn't know if was a legit product. Now that you have vouched for it I'll give it shot next time I get some. Spent $250 on BQ's store but I know she makes quality stuff.
Me too. Virtually all of my carbon, minus chassis, are BQ. I’ve always felt good about supporting her business and she makes top-notch components. Customer service and response to custom orders have always been fantastic.Saw that CF on ebay but didn't know if was a legit product.

Nice Build!
Dude...she literally shipped that order within a couple hours! I know cause I sell on ebay, the label was created and dropped off at the PO 2 hours after I placed the order.
Yeah I was kind of dumb-founded about the shim thing, crushed shims over and over then gave up and assembled it and was like omg I don't need shims. hahaha.
Who’s complaining? I got a foot of snow today.
