Hello all. Recently registered 1/5 scale enthusiast here from Aussie.
Thought I'd share my first 1/5 scale project based on a 26cc HSP truggy. I'm led to believe the rampage TT5 and this are the same unit...basically.
Hop ups include..
Aluminium suspension parts
Spool locked front / rear diffs
Metal gears. 31-29-26-24 now, also run 35-25-25-25 for top speed.
8000 RPM clutch
Velocity stack, high flow air filter
Other home mods...
HSP power pipe, (should be called restrictor pipe)..LOL...cut back and modded to reflect high exhaust expansion rate / high flow...works well too. Is basically straight out with a 1" straight section, the expansion chamber and a 2" straight stub held in place by the OEM pipe clip. All GTAW brazed together. Nice and strong.
Home match bored inlet/ exhaust ports using tungsten burr and low speed rotary tool to match bore and clean up internal rough spots...hey, it's a HSP basher, but this sure did improve performance.
Plans..
Outerwears, home produced dogbone cup covers....probably home made from copper pipe and loctited in place, upgraded dogbones, axle extensions to increase wheel options, upgrade the shocks.
Sorry pics are too large to attach to this post based on using an iPad and pic size limits here but I do have a nice build thread within the large scale down under forum in Aussie.
Cheers all and I am really enjoying reading the threads on here as I can recognise the parts etc.
