Thanks. Yeah, the top shaft totally changed on the B.x +, but the rest of it has me totally confused.

I made some Factory Works spacers work on this transmission.

I'm using the Custom Works hex conversion kit. All Ti hardware. I'm using 4.8 diameter ball studs. This meant the top steering bushing had to be drilled to fit the larger metric threads.

The front Dragon brace was stripped and polished. I was originally thinking of making this a blacked out build. However ElfBMX has already built an amazing blacked out B2. So I think I will go the black and polished route.

WOIN - One of the main reasons I wanted to build this B3 was to utilize these beauties. I'm a big fan of these Jconcepts shock jewelry and the Kashima bodies.

I had to get a little artsy with some of the pictures of these pieces.

WOIN - Front end is coming together.

Man that’s a killer shock combo !

WOIN - I changed the camber link mounting point inward on the carrier. Not sure if this is better or worse, but I liked the idea of being able to shorten the links as they were a little too stretched out, when in the outward mounting position.

I decided I wanted to add adjustability to the drag link, using this cool Trinity titanium tie rod. I widened the drag link to again shorten the steering links.

I added this AE optional front anti roll bar kit, using some titanium 2.5 mm screws over the stock steel.

WOIN - The temptation to cut up the motor plate was too strong. I decided to square up the top and add a few lightening lines. I don't have any machinery so it was done by hand with a Dremel and files. Its not perfect. It meant I have polished edges, which I didn't plan, and am not sure if I should make the lower plate match.

The Avid slipper fits. It requires the case shaft opening be drilled out wider, so the shaft spacer can contact the bearing.

what balls are you running on the back of the front tower in the upper inner link position?

I used these MST balls (pictured).

WOIN - I did a little modification to the front RPM bumper. Not as much protection this way but I much prefer the look.

Interesting. Thanks.

Looking stellar!

WOIN - The rear end is coming together. I have this still sealed Trinity bulkhead brace that is a shade of blue that doesn't match Associated blue. It was tough to do to a brand new, hard to find part, but I stripped and polished it.

Thoughts on the modified motor plate?

Wow it’s really coming together very nicely, the motor plate is a great touch. Looks super trick

WOIN - Starting to get the electronics installed. I added a front carbon brace to the front, although it's not really necessary.

Stock hubs are being used for now until I can find some compatible alloy units.

I am attempting to install the esc and wiring as cleanly and as minimal as possible. It takes me a long time and isn't exactly enjoyable work, but hopefully the end result is worthwhile.

Wow looks awesome Adam!

WOIN - All electronics are installed and fully functional. Still some details to sort, and waiting on a body.

FT - Now that work is nearly done with the WOIN build, I can turn attention back to this Factory Team build.

Trinity tower, RPM spindles, HG carriers, Dragon front brace, on top of all the FT goodies.
