[dc2 man]

mmm im surprised nutech still supply the GT5-R with the alloy gears for spur & clutch..sure i have it proven from my videos and its plain to see that it doest work.

i wonder what else they changed...

place for battery?
tyres (no)
body needs a lot of tlc and trimming,i tried telling others this but you will find out this when you work on it.

i would not even drive with those tyres they are rubbish being honest.i wouldnt run anything less than GRP GANDINI ( elligi mediums ) on mine.

strip & retighten shocks,lower ride height,adjust toe in camber...
good to go with these little tweaks,the GT5-R is an awesome car out of the box.

i had nothing but the mentioned small faults which relisticlly are nothing.....
looks great,reminds me of when i got mine.

im working on my track for next season where i should have some others running with me,cant wait to get my onroad beasts out again.

i would love to try a 4x4 onroad,i hope nutech does one soemtime.

[RCKIWI]

Don't worry Dan I will be changing quite a bit from what you have posted as well as my experiences.

[dc2 man]

look forward bryan to seeing your stuff on it actually...

maybe your one may not need some of the things mine did,they can all be differnt you know too.

but some i mentioned are a defo swap/fix.

they look great dont they.
best of luck with it and looking forward to seing it in action :excited::boxing:

[RCKIWI]

Not too sure whats happening on the paint job yet prob nothing too fancy.:confused::

[NUTECH RACING]

No problem , just show us your painted body when your design is done.:excited:

[dc2 man]

make sure you give a look at the mods i have had to do whilst testing last year....

i know nutech already improved on some but the ones i have had to do are small but worthwhile for you..

my car got a rigorus testing last summer,:boxing:i loved mine,its a shelf queen now until good weather....:excited:

Yep, all under control, have already seen your necessary mods, thanks looks like a great car.:dance:

[RCKIWI]

Ok I received my replacement GT5-R a couple of weeks ago but not had time to get it up and running, but the last few days have managed to get the body painted ready for some action.

Vids to follow!:yahoo:

[dc2 man]

very nice bryan.

i like the way you painted the stripe like mine lol haha

very nice man!

[mradlin]

Your GT5R looks great Bryan!! :punk:

[sickboy]

looks good mucker,only one thing the side skirts aren't they just a touch to long don't you think.
The front and back look sweet

[RCKIWI]

Thanx guys, side skirts did rub a bit but wont take much to trim off!

[RCKIWI]

Ok upgrades for the GT5R this week :D

First fit a set of FG rear cable brakes, unfortunately the FG calipers wouldn't fit on the Nutech alloy rear hubs, they did have holes pre-drilled in them for calipers but the spacing was different so lucky i had a set of FG tuning plastic rear hubs which came to the next problem the Nutech hubs are smaller in the lower arm so had to trim the plastic hubs to fit.

Next out come the CY 23cc and in with a Zen 2 bolt 23cc, I also used FG alloy engine mounts and a plastic gear carrier, I will have to order a alloy one and the Nutech is different due to the way they mount there engine (it sits horizontal, FG is at 25deg angle) With the engine I also fitted my Samba 5 tuned pipe :D

I changed the rear body mounts to SMT ones and used parts of the original to go together, this has lowered the rear body alot now! Fitted a FG plastic front bumper and the Nutech foam lined up perfectly to the holes! Changed the steering servo to a Hitec 5745MG so now I get more steering and alot faster ;D I would have changed the throttle/brake servo as well but I want to set it up with a separate 3rd servo for front brakes and also make a top deck to mount everything on, which will also make the chassis more rigged.

I see you changed shock springs too. looking good. I will be transferring most of the car over to my fg comp chassis (I like the servo tray stiff too and made mine out of carbon). Good to know about the back hubs being different. I have a set of cable brakes coming to put on the rear.... guess I need to improvise too

[mradlin]

Looks great Bryan. Thanks for the handy tips. ;)

[RCKIWI]

Oh yes forgot to mention the springs are FG progressive fronts RED short, rear YELLOW long. I also drilled 2x1mm holes in the pistons and filled with 3000 in front 2000 rear.

Took car out for a play yesterday

Wall = 1
Mustang Body = 0
Nutech chassis = -1

[Pipeous]

Owww, that hurts just to see it in a pic

[mradlin]

That looks painful Bryan!

Hope it gets fixed up soon for you.

[RCKIWI]

well it looks worse than it is... body yes need a new one but lucky I have one that I was going to build up as an on road car before I got this car!

Chassis was bent like a banana but was able to straighten over a pce of wood to keep playing :D

Now it means more work sooner than I hoped :no:

[bentley marshall]

:damn:LOL good to see im not the only one that crashes

[Willy099]

Wow, glad I wasn't in it when you hit the wall LOL . Just curious the car stand you have in the pictures, is that a product of yours? I have been looking for a good 1/5th scale stand for a customer of mine.

[sickboy]

Bryan what the hell i cant believe you trashed your sweet bod man o man,
I think it might be a good idea to take a slip course LOL .
Did you crash where you made you last onroad vid ,that was a bit on the tight side for sure?

I use a mechanics stool. it swivels, has adjustable height and a tool tray in the bottom.

The stand is a 2 step folding stool for use around the home I brought it from a local Ebay type site here in NZ was about $10 made in China of course and just glued a thin foam pad on top!
