VERY nice job!!! Makes me want to go clean and fine tune mine.

WOW! Sweet ass dude!! Those tower to frame supports are wicked cool......sorry to bite on your style but I gotta make me a pair of those!

 

[GTS 666]

Thanks guys glad you like it. Making some supports will take all the flex out of the chassis would be cool if it was a factory upgrade.

 

[sirmonte]

Sounds awesome! A vid would be sweet.

Agree. I would love to see that in action.

Wow you have great ideas! Way to be different!!! How did you get the rod to have the round mounting points?

 

[the1320god]

That's a beautiful truck u got there. Have fun!

Thanks mate. The round mounting points are washes welded to steel rod. I've bashed and rolled it and none of the welds have giving way. Simple but effective.

I'm planning on making some chassis braces, as well. I have some aluminum rod that I want to use. Just have to practice welding on some scrap aluminum.

Nice truck, I like the clean look of the belt drive, does it run quieter with the belt than with the gears?

 

[Shvelle]

Looks mean

Love it

Hope to finally get some time tomorrow to have a run. I would assume that the belt would be alot more quiet than metal gears.

It is quieter.... I notice that my XB performed better too. Lighter and direct power from motor is awesome

Finally had some time to run it with the belt drive. Very happy with the setup now but I may change the Bowties to Excavators for some better top end.

I still can't get over how cool the cutout plate looks.

 

[Deluge]

Sounds good, dude. How long have you had those Bowties?

 

[GTS 666]

I've had the Bowties for about a year and have only ran about six tanks on them in grass and gravel. They havent had any real use with the Ts reed yet. I haven't been able to run this year as I was away from home for six months. But now that spring is coming on all my cars will get heaps of use. I'm looking for a roller or used Mt to test out a couple of engines I have modded while it's been cold.

 

[Deluge]

Awesome. I have a G260 that I want to try and mod. Just can't decide what I want to do with it. I've been thinking about keeping it a 26, and just squeeze what I can out of it. What mods have you done? Basic porting, I'd assume?

 

[GTS 666]

One is original 23cc Cy that came with my Mt its now a 28.5 that I recently ported and lightened the flywheel still a really good motor. The other is a Cy that has a Darksole marine head and a 1mm stuffed crank that I want to test out too. I know these marine heads have heating issues but its just for fun. I will bump the compression up and run some methanol through it as I already have a 499 walbro carb. If it fails which I know it will eventually I don't mind.

 

[Deluge]

Nice. What did you use to port it? I've been looking for decent cutting bit set. If you have any leads, I'd appreciate it.

 

[GTS 666]

I think they are Tungsten Carbide not an overly expensive kit but they fit in the dremel and cut Aluminium like butter. I purchased mine from a small tool shop i would imagine any hardware store would carry them i can post a pic if you need. Once you use them you wont use anything else saves heaps of time.
