Typhon First of its kind!

[Badmofreaker]

I turned my typhon into this,I guess you can call it an 1/8 scale limitless corvette gt. Tell me what you guys think, it took a lot of work. Going to set up like my other car which is a limitless gt so this should hit 150 or so,weighs 2 lbs less. Its 90 percent done, have to make a front splitter to match the body and battery mounts. Should be able to run this weekend.

Very nice!!!

Looks good. By class definition it would be a 1/8 GT, but I get what you are saying with all the Limitless parts on it...

Here's the bottom so you can see where I cut out a big section and set it up and had it tig welded.

Any strengthening on top for the weld?
Looks like some decent workmanship!

I grinded an angle on both sides,top and bottom and left a small gap so the weld would fill it in. I also modified the rear chassis brace and shortened the top brace,car is really strong,

I just need to figure out how I'm going to mount the batteries, they will have to be on there side which i don't know if it will hurt them or not.

I love that you cut the chassis section out. it really makes it "your rig." extremely nice work and fit for that body.

No,just like building them and wanted to do something different. I reached 220 km in less than 1800 ft with the limitless gt at 15.4 lbs so with the same setup basically just i tooth different, but 2 lbs less should be 150 somewhere.

Beautiful build all around. Extraordinary comes to mind. Are you running 6 or 8s? Can't tell by looking at the batteries
