You've inspired me to get several front end pieces imported to the UK from GPM as well, looking forward to fitting them. I've already added a sport tuned motor and short shocks, along with modded gearbox suspension blocks instead of the brace or 5th suspension arm. I get a lot faster from a cold start but the steering suffers; hoping that a slightly heavier front end along with sturdier parts will help!
@RCsoandso
@RCsoandso 2 жыл бұрын
It does anchor it down more, the issue I’m now having is even though I made it as light as possible the roof rack has impacted the centre of gravity. Further testing is needed. Hope they work out for you, they are really great quality 👍
@FxAxF
@FxAxF 2 жыл бұрын
@@RCsoandso Yea, I've found the same with the speed tuned motor, even the slightest turn at high speed will flip the truck due to the high centre of gravity. My suspension blocks also don't help as they offer less movement of the gearbox; great for speed, not great for turning. I think I've basically turned it into a tall yellow TVR.....

@RCsoandso
@RCsoandso 2 жыл бұрын
To be honest, it doesn’t really take from the charm. The best way to put it would be imagine having a daft dog, it’s always friendly and eager to please, but it’s daft. With adding oil shocks, is like taking the dog to training classes, yes it’s more responsive, and moves less awkwardly, but it’s not unusual for it to still fall over, or to do something daft. I think that’s the best way to describe it 🐶😆😂👍
