Whizbang's RX-2

Whizbang · 08-08-2013, 09:03 PM

Yea i will use an FB axle in the rear and that will match the front. And wicked flares Are a must!

Right now its mounted using stock fc mounts. Might have to consider seatig position with how its turning out. The oil filter would be in your shin stock wise

The FB axle has quite a bit narrower track than the FC front. It could be compensated for with low or negative offset wheels though. The GSL-SE axles will also push the wheel out a little further than other FBs. Only way to tell for sure is to try it.

That does sound a little far back. How did you get it in there? Remove the firewall?

Ive been using gslse stuff. Gets about an extra 20mm.

Yea trimming was required

Just properly sized wheel openings on the custom widebody you're going to have to build. 'cuz you need moar tire.

Whizbang · 08-13-2013, 07:53 PM

Something like this?

Just have to setup the wheel arches to follow the chosen size 15" tire that you'll be using.

chibikougan · 08-13-2013, 08:52 PM

Also motorcycle fenders cut in half?

Whizbang · 08-13-2013, 10:30 PM

Yup a lot like that Frank. Just not sure on on wide to go. Need to find the wwheels i want to use

chibikougan · 08-13-2013, 11:00 PM

These?

This can also be done by cutting a radius in the stock flare.

Pull open gap to desired flare. Fill in the gap...

Whizbang · 08-13-2013, 11:06 PM

Eh more buldge on the top though i think. I will have to find a picture

chibikougan · 08-13-2013, 11:10 PM

Something round? This is for a 16in wheel they also have a full round wide fender.
