So that center bracing is an upgrade to the Xtreme brace?

Or?

also..... MAN THAT SILVER ON GLOSSY BLACK IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! ... makes me kinda regret decisions I just PAID! lol
How is the fitment with ADU to TC?

That doesn't fit the asuga buddy.

Fitment is spot on. I didnt want to go all silver alloy as it looks a little bling bling. The contrast of the alloy on black is perfect and ive tried to keep the modifications to ones that will benefit the car not just show off.
Im really happy with the progress so far

Thanks buddy! It looks so sweet I was ready to change ahaha! Im glad to hear!

 

[bigshrek666]

Hopefully tomorrow i will get the chassis skin put on, motor mount & centre diff installed on the 7075 chassis and maybe the rear of the car installed

Goodluck! I hope to see the pictures soon! I cant wait to have time to work on mine!

 

[bigshrek666]

Are you going to give a total price breakdown when you're finished?

Maybe, don't want to upset myself though lol

That's a nice build, my man!
I've never seen the TC braces as well.
I have fitted al my Arrma and TC cars with aluminium braces and have not bent a chassis yet. If i ever do, i may get an ADU chassis, but i am not spending €1000 on 9 chassis, just because they may bend some day.

Yes. The TC 7075 parts are nice.
I have a Radix and a Muraco with TC alu braces and steering plates. The Muraco is the only car i bent a chassis on. It landed mid chassis on the edge of a stairs. That was quite a brutal smash and it bent in such a way, i couldn't hammer it back into its normal shape. I don't think any chassis would have survived that. It's on a Kronos 7075 chassis now. All the other cars (still) have the stock 6061 chassis.
The Asugas and the Shiroi are fitted with ADU bracing systems and steering plates.
My Mojaves have GPM front and rear braces and ADU center braces and ADU hinge pin holders. The Fireteam has similar AlI Express front and rear braces and ADU hinge pin holders are incoming as we speak. The Typhon has the alu TLR hinge pin holders. I am not sure yet which metal f/r braces to use for that one.
I mounted the Asuga hinge pin braces on all my TC cars.

Is upgrading the steering rack to 7075 on the Asu/Kag6 necessary?

 

[Fireblade]

I've left my Ackerman stock and it's still straight despite a lot of abuse. The newer style is much meatier than the old Kronos/Radix one.

 

[SirCrashALot]

Is upgrading the steering rack to 7075 on the Asu/Kag6 necessary?

No. It already has the steering stiffener.

 

[bigshrek666]

All im doing is adding the stiffer servo saver spring to my steering, a 55kg servo which I will run @ 8.4V

 

[Tommyguns89]

Awesome thank you all! I wasn't sure if it was a need or not! Ohh the little things

Center diff and motor mount on, diff filled with 300k fluid.

I don't do shelf queens. My cars get driven. Same as my daily driver, I didnt have that to keep shiny somewhere, it gets used (and looked after). Although the uk government are making it harder for me to have such a car
