hmm any ideas

if you wanna drill your shock tower a b4 wing mount would work...

Todd

that mount looks cool i would just have to get a longer bolt for the tranty .. can you ajust pitch with this set up ?

Would the bullet mounts work ? if so I have a set you can try .

are they the same as the plastic b4's in alum .. if so ill try them .. was thinking of the plastic incase i have to trim them down or install screws insted of clips so i can angle the wing if needed but for mock up would be nice

if you are looking to use the wing wire method you could use traxxas aluminum wing mounts and bend your wing wire accordingly. Something like on the trx1, trx3, or the rad/rad2 I believe would work. they would come off the back of the tower instead of up from the bulkhead giving you whatever rake you want for your wing wire again...

something like ive seen on the yz10 ? .. dont know how much pressure i want to put on the shock tower

yep. But its wing wire...there won't be any pressure on the wing unless you are using 1/4" carbon rod for wing wire

so i had some fun today of putting some of the car back together

i picked up some parts like new tierod ends as if one thing can kill you in a race #1 tirod poping off

when i got home i found a part i didnt even know i got .. an purple alum antenna holder .. cool



did a quick look of the viper body and jconcept rear wing



while building the car i got to rember some thing i hated .. turn buckles ... my fingers are sore now but they look cool



and i found the carbon plate i had so im going to make a set of towers and a back brace

Nice progress smitten like the rest of us lol . Luke and I are to meet up here shortly to exchange some cars and parts . I will let you know when . You should tag along . Luke might even bring a few of his Losi's to show .

that would be cool

let me know

Is that a stock associated front shock tower that was made to fit the andy's bulkhead? I think I have an actual front shock tower for that. I can trace and send you the template so you can make one.
Regards,
Roger

that would be cool .. was there one for long shocks as well ?

was going to try to make a replca but this sounds more better

wats the part infront of the battery box ?

part of an andy's steering rack

oh i see now .. i like the alum bell cranks better so i dont think ill go after this

but if you have a losi hyda drive coversion i wouldnt mine lol ... hint hint ... i still have a bottle of fluid in my box lol

i beleve the later car i raced had it on it .. wish i could rember what happened to it

full size scan of shock towers .. all you should have to do is print and cut

thanks for all the help and the site for making this happen
