Hi - my Truckzilla kit arrived yesterday. Only 5 days after being sent from Texas (good service)
Includes an easy start back plate for the .46 engine, stronger dog bones and a longer rear drive shaft. TVP's are 1 inch longer and are 3.1mm thick compared to the stock 2.4mm. Pipe is highly polished.
Here's a pic of the Truckzilla Wheel/Tyre next to the standard. Big aren't they?
This pic shows the enormous size of the .46 compared with the HPI .25 (shown here with Nova racing head). Big mother of a thing although angle of picture makes it look a little bigger anyway.Hot Bodies claim 4.6 horsepower (we'll see) with rpm range of 2000 to 23000. Comes with 15 tooth bell to compensate for lower rpms.
Initial impression is good. Quality of components is high (head on .46 is a bit chinzy copared to the Nova). Instructions, whilst in black and white, are complete and easy to follow. Break in instructions are straight out of Savage manual. Conversion uses all standard throttle and brake linkages. Installation should be a breeze but I'll keep you informed. Kit alsoincludes a few screws etc and an alloy exhaust mount.
All in all great value imho.
