ALZA racing Flux Baja 5b

[Knez]

Yup, roof is really nice!

Dogbones are just fine as FLM dogbones are more massive yes, but they do not rub against aarms, dogbones sit perfect.

Before it was 44cm wide now is 47cm.

Shocks, well i made 2 jumps befor ei broke upper SS arms and lower shock plastic part. But i must say i just went full throttle on... landed ok, but was just tooo much air and too long jump. Almost twice as loong and higher as on my last video on BMX track, front landed first and rear took all the impact wich was too much. Got the repair kit and repaired those suckers :)

Here a pic or 2..




Just need to jump a little less air.

I been off a while as i been waiting all kinds of small parts.
Antena was torn and had to wait for new one. I protected antena now with shrink tube as it was damaged right on the spot where it goes out from receiver.
Hole on receiver was made a bit bigger so shrink tube can go thrue.




Next on the list was some kind of lipo protector or whatever you wanna call it.
Brace i had there was slowly leaving marks on the lipos wich was not good.
Now lipos cant be hit anyway and they wont get damaged! White plastic part is doing the job great.




Alza wide brace kit and FLM dogbones.
Wide brace kit does the job and widens the truck for aprox 30mm.
What i dont lik eis FLM dogbones or should i say PINS.. those are to short.
Should be longer on each side fro around 1mm to aprox 2mm.
When i turn wheels in 1 side, there is only 1 pin on dogbone tuching output axle cup. should be 2 pins. So i will get these to the man so he knocks them out and puts longer PINS. I dont know why FLM didnt do this when they where making them.

Upper arms where made from two SS upper arm kits.



Also changed the center cups for stronger ones




Servo wire secured nicely between lipo plate and braces.




Here the antena tube wich i secured with few shrink tubes up and down.
Dont mind the mess around the receiver, one day when i wont be too lazy i will cut and solder all the wires to correct lenght.




Next is motor grub screw. Stock one is PURE rubbish.
So take one M4x4mm screw and just grind off a little on the hex screw head, so it wont hit the motor pinion when securing it on.
I also cutted a little off on tranny, so if motor pinion ever comes lose and it hits the tranny it wont get stuck.
Also using 2 nuts on slipper locker kit. Third M5 nut is just working as a shim/spacer.




For steering i used longer shafts Stock are M4x70mm i used M4x80mm from HPI and other plastic parts are stock for now.
Here you can also see how i mounted upper arms.

I must say i dont like the way upper arms are extended as there is less meat in the plastic parts, so i need longer shafts/screw for upper arms.


Here friends roof, he used white sticker cf look a like, as he is got black tvps it should be nice effect.


And hes wing Black CF and white CF look a like sticker.
