Grom XXL Grom Speedrunner

[Goldendrakester]

Thinking of hacking together an xxl wheelbase grom to do some speedrunning, any tips on stuff like the driveshaft and fusing chassis together?

You are treading new territory. Yours will be the first of its kind.
Just go for it.

Are you trying to stretch the chassis by using two chassis?

Yes, that's what I thought would be an easy way to stretch it.

Looks like you would need to use almost a full 2nd chassis if you wanted to retain the bearing carrier for joining 2 Shafts together inside the spur or something like that.
Looks a bit harder to do than a 6s chassis with dog bones.

Yeah I would be very curious how you make a longer center shaft but I am down to watch! I love this kinda stuff. Dooooooo it

Ok perfect , I think my build thread will help you..I did the same thing and made the worlds longest Big Rock .standing at 32" long and transformed it into a speedster .The only thing I have left to do is finish extending the original body cover .which seems to be a whole new project on its own .I put it off for a while because this past summer I bought a 6s kraton and just recently bought a infraction 6s blx and I turned it into a 8s and I'm hooked on this thing lol. can't seem to stop dumping money into it.. so yeah check my build thread out and it's going to give a idea of what you'll need to do..I suggest start looking for a second chassis. And another center drive shaft...Jenny's should cover you on those for cheap feel free to pm me .if you want I can help you through this whole process.let me know

I wouldn't say it's the easiest way ,but it sure is fun I hope you're ready for the journey

I cannot find any Grom parts on jenny's?
Considering 6x6 and custom fabricating a thru-axle.

Yeah I took a look yesterday saw nothing maybey you can fabricate a chassis from aluminum. Well good luck brotha .

 

[Bustedaw11]

Are we wanting a 6x6 or an xl grom?

Perhaps an Xl 6x6?

What are we doing here?

,most likely just xl not 6x6

So what's your plans? You seemed excited in the start of this thread and we haven't heard pretty nothing on how your starting this build .was this just a idea or are serious about doing it?

 

[Goldendrakester]

Just cant find chassis or many parts at all, probably going to wait for more parts availability

Ok ..well I'll visit this thread in about a year

 

[Goldendrakester]

Thats about what I think it'll take for parts to start being available.
