  • In this video i go over the trials and tribulations to upgrade a Rovan 450 XLT so it can handle big bore engines. Also applies to King motors and 30 Degree North Losi 5ive T 1.0 copies.

      Hey House T, thanks for the comments and sub(sent one back to you). I have a whole bunch of videos planned so stay tuned. I've only been doing this a couple of months so i'm still trying to figure out how to best do the videos and i so much appreciate getting comments and feedback from viewers. Thanks for your input and checking out the channel.

    Quality video! it makes sense to buy a 5ive t 2.0 and swap the rovan chassis, arms and center braces to avoid all the quality issues. Almost pulled the plug on a 30 degree north 2.0 but their really is a difference. Great video! Man you have all the tools and skills to fabricate every piece you purchased. 👍

      @@alterdcustomrc4512 Thanks buddy, i really appreciate that. The next few months will probably be more run videos then when fall hits i will go back to build mode. Two projects in the works are a BAJA or clone into a full on tracked snowmobile with a single cyl big bore or OBR twin. The other is a short course truck with a hand fabricated chassis built around a single cyl big bore and 5ive t aftermarket diff parts. The tube chassis will replace the chassis plate. I will need to make custom piston/valve stack for the shocks. I really do appreciate your input and i can see from your channel that i now no where to go for an expert in electric versions.

      @@RCWalletVacuum projects for days. Looking forward to seeing them in action on that track you building! Electric is a blast. I bent the chassis on the dbxl and the driveshafts. I have a vitivon chassis and new motor setup going in posiden 2240 880kv. I also just purchased the wheelman kraken vekka 5 electric conversion. Gonna put that kit together. Should be wild and also doing a Taylor rc 5ive t electric and a stock one gas because nothing beats that noise. 🙏❤️
