How do I countersink this titanium?? I've bought some hardened steel bits that work great on aluminium but they take ages to sink this titanium, like 15 mins for one hole.

I have the plastic center braces from my new RC8T-e I upgraded those right away but you can have them, just cover shipping. They mount from the front bulk area to the chassis http://aedownloads.com/kit_photos/rc8t/809114.jpg then u can at least decide if you want to go that route

I would say try titanium bits buts that wouldnt work lol.. just keep lube on it and try to keep the bit cool as possible it takes some time. Even with di grinder it took a bit to trim the rear for the Tru track kit

You need a high-quality carbide counter-sink bit...they are about $35, but they will counter-sink anything and last almost forever! They will even work on carbon-fiber without getting dull (CF dulls every cutting material except carbide, tungsten, and diamond-tipped).

Yup, carbide, and it has to be a true carbide bit. I've seen a lot of cheaper tools throw around the word carbide in the name when it was just carbide coating or an alloy with minimal carbide content.

truth!

Its a titanium HCR Mutant Maxx without top plate converted to brushless extended about 1 inch to a 15-1/2inch wheelbase. Just a couple of mm longer than a Losi 8T 2.0. The top plate is not needed as I mounted the servo flat to the chassis and use red TRX 7075 T6 billet Tubes with Dubro Monsterball links to give the chassis rigidity. The chassis also has been modified to have alittle more kickup than stock. The Mutant doesn't come with any kick up.

This is my main truck and what has become of this project. I'm building a waterproof high CG river runner/trail truck with the tons of left over parts.

Thank you guys for all your help!! What do you think? It handles very much like a BL 8T. I'm perfecting the steering but it is good.

Excellent! You did an awesome job, man...it really looks great!

Fap-tastic! Thats r/c porn right there :yes:
