Finally got my Granite this week and boys BRCC has been patiently waiting for upgrades which also all arrived so figured it was time to start up our thread
First order of business was fitting Typhon RPM arms and turnbuckles on my freshly unboxed Granite. Not a very difficult job but took a fair bit longer than I thought mainly as I wanted to make sure my turnbuckles were all equal lengths on both sides of the truck. Definitely pleased with the results though as the stance looks much better and from what I’ve read will perform much better too
I reckon I’ll need to adjust the camber slightly as it looks a little too aggressive especially on the front, other than that though I can’t wait to give this thing it’s first run!
I had intended to convert my sons BRCC with the same setup tonight, but ran out of time and hoping to give them both a run tomorrow so I prioritised fitting his new Typhon 6S shocks as he bent a stock shock shaft last time out.
They certainly feel like a big improvement over the stock shocks with loads more damping and fit nicely with a bit of nitro fuel pipe in the tower mounts and a couple of washers on the front arms to ensure they clear the driveshafts.
Be interesting to see how much difference the shocks make without widening the stance, the Typhon arms and turnbuckles will be done straight after tomorrow’s run though either way.
Will report back after tomorrow’s run and will hopefully have some pictures and videos to share
There’s some more upgrades already en route but I’ll leave the details until they arrive!
