Gt24b upgrades

Serapth · #1 02-01-2016

Hi, been a while since i was last here, new additions to the family and a different career path have eaten up most of my spare time.

Im looking to purchase a gt24b and after spending a few days scouring the internet i am not having much luck in finding upgrades.

I am more used to the lrp shark/ftx blaze and was wondering if anyone could kindly point me in the direction of upgrades (if available) such as alloy knuckles/suspension arms, carbon fibre shock towers, steel cvd's etc.

I also used to use 1/10th wheels on my blaze, are there any that fit the gt24b and if so a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Here is a link to the full range of spares and options parts for the GT24B. Option parts include LIPO batteries, different kinds motors, metal pinions, different size spurs, metal dogbones, carbon towers, shock tuning springs, aluminium shocks, clear body, wheels, tyres and more...

Regards 10th wheels, these won't fit this car, they are far too big. If two were placed over the axles they would be touching each other to give you an idea of the size.

Hope that helps

These also have spares/upgrades:

From what I've seen, only the alloy shocks might be worthwhile, carbon towers just add some bling, though if you want crazy speed you could go for the 12000kv motor alongside running 2s (not cheap though)

Cheers guys, found most of the upgrades i want, struggling to find pre assembled alloy shocks though..any ideas?

I'm not sure you're gonna get pre-built shocks.

You'll have to either build them yourself or get someone to build them for you.

I think for 1/24 scale you need 1/24 scale fingers & 24 x the patience

Have a chat to Paul Knight over at Trackside spares.

He keeps all the spares and upgrades for the 1/24th, 1/16th and 1/10th Carisma cars. I am sure he would also entertain building up the shocks for you. They are tiny tiny, but he is always happy to go the extra mile for good customers.
