After purchasing the G320RC, the 4 bolts 30.5cc can now go back to my 5B.


I may use the stock XB shocks in the 5B since I used the 5B shocks on my custom XB.


My custom shorty fuel tank has developed a leak so I'm going back to stock fuel tank. Which means new longer chassis. It will be wider than the one I currently have but keep the baja shorter than stock.

Thanks Gasser!

Will try to keep it to only the parts I already have. But then again that's how it always starts! Lol!

Made a thicker (4mm) gear plate (stock is barely 2mm). I also made a transmission plate. All t6 6061 4mm aluminum plate.





The stock tranny plate is only 3 mm thick at the brake level which causes it to bend and create airline cracks leading to failure. Went with 4mm to increase strength.



Assembled
