FTGT racer rebuild "again"

Post by Tim W. »

I've had this Factory Team GT for a few years and thought it was done but then when it was announced that the Cabin Fever Indoor Supercross race up north would have 2wd nitro truck as a class I went all out with trick parts so its race ready!

The list of hop ups is almost endless

Factory Team TI turnbuckles
Factory Team hardware
Factory Team Posi Lock rear conversion
Factory Team countersink washers
Factory Team Pipe/header
Factory Team Threaded shocks, bleeder caps, gold shafts and big bore springs and cups.

Trinity Kinwald front tube mounts
Trinity Kinwald rear arm mounts
Trinity Kinwald trans brace
HG Shock mounts
RPM radio box and ball cups
Avid bearings
Avid Spring adapters "on order still"

Ko Propo mid profile servos
Airtronics M11x radio
Jconcepts tires
OS .12 CVR
Team Bluegroove body

I'm sure I missing a few things but I can't wait to hit the track with this thing!

I have so many FTGT's Im just loving your build! I also have a nearly identical build. The MIP 4 in 1 clutch is a needed upgrade in my opinion. Is yours still the stock clutch?

If you need anything let me know I have boxes of parts. I should probably make a for sale thread.. Good luck racing it! You are very lucky to have a track that will still accommodate nitro! :!:
