I'm willing to bet they're really 44mm, unless they've recently changed it to 42. We had a lot of customers trying to put that motor in our 42mm mount that comes with our conversions and it wouldn't fit. Either way, you've already fixed the issue so it's a moot point.

I will check into it. but the main reason is that Ti costs roughly 7X what SS does. Even if the cutting doesn't cost any more I'd have to charge $25-$30 each for them.

Chris, why make it out of SS? SS is usually a softer material than steel and may wear faster. Maybe make it out of steel and have it anodized or coated.

You can't anodize steel... Unless it's coated with something else. I believe galvanized steel can be anodized.

Oops, your right. Maybe black oxide it or paint it?

People gut RTR's and part them out on ebay, you can get them pretty cheap.

Hi so your front skid plate from tbr can be used with the kit front bumper are the screws long enough that you get from tbr

Hi
That's fine by me price ok but the stock screws are they long enough when fixing down skid plate to chassis their is a bulk head above just wondering if you need to provide slightly longer screws also from titanium or ss for current skid you are selling

Look into making Ackerman plate from titanium will save weight aswell

Also anyone selling titanium screw kits for eb48

Yes, you keep what you already have and add the TBR unit. They give you screws. Not sure about stacking on more than one though.

That's price showing on hpi link is the manufacturer's price, it is not the retail price . Tower sells it at $309.99 and they offfers a $75 over any $300 items, so i bought combo ( with it's blur esc ) with $ 234.99 .
i think it's an accepted price for such motor and powerful esc.

I'm pretty sure they're just Castle products made for HPI.

They are, I have them in my Vorza. The Flux Blur ECU comes up as such on the Castle Link software and seems to have different FW available to it than the regular Mamba Monster as HPI need to approve it, so they are the same, but not exactly when it comes to FW.

Stainless steel is not softer than mild steel....

Also, I saw somewhere that a guy was running the low profile Durango wing so I ordered one and the mount holes are different...anybody know who has done this and how?
