Hey there, the kit includes 13x19x4 bearings for the outdrives and the diff itself requires 8x16x5 bearings which I can provide. You can use the stock 5sc diff and just transfer some parts over like the diff case, and spider gears.

Thanks man.

Thank you!

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

If the diameter of the standoffs is 4mm some other ones could be used. The only issue is if the length of the standoffs is the same. Don’t worry though I always have a stock of small parts like this.

The front and rear shock towers for the buggy will be around $60-70US shipped.

Thanks! Unfortunately, the Centre diff parts don’t work with the nitro at all. I am currently looking at a design for the nitro.

@@dracoprecision that's would be amazing, Also bring back the savage cvds 😉

If I can make them cheaper I’ll definitely bring them back

Yes I have designed M4 standoffs for the shock towers and new video update coming this weekend.

That’s a great idea man! I’ll add it to my list.

The sound can get annoying after extended periods, but the maintenance, driving feel, smell and needy nature of nitro makes me love it. You should try it one day if you can.

@@dracoprecision One day my friend, I promise.

I’m using Kyosho aluminum clutch shoes. Do you think I should go back to the carbon ones?

I’m afraid I’m still developing it but when available it will be in my store on my website. www.draco-jp.com/thedracostore Unfortunately only up to 42mm motors can be used.

@@dracoprecision any indication on when will be available and will you be shipping worldwide?

I’m sorry I do not know yet. As soon as I have them in stock I can ship. Where are you?

I’m in Australia

No problem. I ship to Aussie a lot.

Thank you! The final parts may look different. There may be a raw aluminum look.

Thank you!

Yeah I could do that. Maybe some 6061 plates front and rear and a chassis protector.

Probably still quite a while. I will make some changes to the towers and motor mount set. But I’m happy with the progress so far!

It is SLA using Black Resin.

@@dracoprecision no wonder the finish came out so good. Awesome to see you still keeping the super flux 5c alive👍

@@willbingo Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback. I have made prototypes of all these parts and I am testing now. Check out my other videos about these. Part 1 here: ruclips.net/video/JdRc9sF2vdI/видео.htmlsi=6fQukks9vu5C5i96 Part 2: ruclips.net/video/i_H4MZG2zIY/видео.htmlsi=deNCuQbvyhzZRvw8 Part 3: ruclips.net/video/Pb_VSneCH_o/видео.htmlsi=yIxBdLb75aI9gBvW

Thank you Michael!! I am so happy to hear the video helped you. I feel the springs are too short and soft from factory. Here in Japan there are many Kyosho parts available so I thought I would try them out. Turns out they are a great choice! What springs will you try?

Thanks man.

Tekno uses a lot of m4 screws in the truck.

Thank you! Once the development process is finished I plan to send to a Few RUclipsrs.

I believe the mounting locations on the Alza TVPs Are the same as the stock pre2017 TVPs. If that’s the case then the Draco CDS will fit perfectly. With the 52T spur you can use 11T-20T pinions comfortably. I would keep an eye on the motor temps though.

@@dracoprecision mine is the savage flux hp with blur esc which i ve changed for the same esc that comes today... I dont know of I still have that 52 spur ....

@@JimmyDaval-u4x Don’t worry I include a custom 52T gear in the Draco Centre Diff Set. You also get custom outdrives. Check out what is included here. And let me know if you have questions! www.draco-jp.com/centrediffset2024

@@dracoprecision i already chexk it out... looks awesome !.... i want it to go faster... would u post a bashing video of speed and jumping,, i think that would help u with sales..

Thanks for the feedback. Anything in particular you’d like to see in the video?

Yip I’m working on it. I don’t have a ramp so will have to make one or find a different place.

@@dracoprecision yeah I got a ramp and a few bash spots . Gotta keep your eyes peeled while traveling to discover em

Yeah man totally. I have a few riverbeds nearby that look good. Maybe I’ll try them out.

@@dracoprecision and if you can’t find a slight incline area , you could add plastic kicker ramps for launching

I considered one brace from tower to tower but the likelihood of it bending was quite high. The brace mounted to the same place on the towers. With two braces it increases adjustability. I am going to continue testing like this and see how the braces and gearboxes hold up. Thanks for the suggestions!

@@dracoprecision u right but then i would suggest thicher braces with thicker ends cause those plastic things will brake quickly... in regards of the one brace , I have one aluminum brace on my losi db pro and jumped it high with no bendings... take a look at the shape of it ypurself n then u will realize how u should make it... take a look at a db pro brace shape then u will understand what I meant... again thanks for providing upgrades to hpi fans !

@@dracoprecisionI’m kinda with ya a two individual braces is great a little flex means a lot for other parts

Yes and makes it cheaper if you break something.

The brace is from tower to tower. The brace mounts directly to the shock tower. I have aluminum front and rear braces that attach to the chassis also. Please check my website Draco-jp.com/vorzabraces

I appreciate your support!

Yeah I’ve been thinking recently. I need to get 2-3m of air to test the parts properly.

Great news! Yes all the parts will be made of Hard Anodized 7075 for this platform. I have checked the tensile strength of 304 it is quite similar to 4140 at 500-700MPa. The braces have a centre section of 8mm in diameter and tapering to 7mm in diameter, I feel they will be stronger enough, but I plan to test them and see if they bend. I will revisit material choice if there are issues. Thanks for the idea! For the M3 screws have you tried better materials like 10.9 grade screws or titanium screws? Yes, the hols if drilled to 4mm would break into the other holes.

@@dracoprecisionfor my bashing style, huge air and bad landings, no m3 screw holds up for me as a shock stand off bolt, no matter what the material. All the big aftermarket companies are making m4 (and m2c just released m5!!) shock standoffs for 1/8 scale truggies such as the sledge and Kraton 6s/ outcast etc. That is the only thing I hope you consider changing on your design. Integrate m4 shock stand-offs into your tower design 🙏 If not, I believe the m3 stand-offs will be the weakest link on the truck after all your mods are installed

@@RCboyzTV Thank you for the feedback. I will look into this I just hope it doesn`t mean a redesign of the shock cap. The other option would be using a one-piece standoff which eliminates the need for a screw.

I haven’t looked at my vorza truggy yet, it’s still in box. But I planned to upgrade the shock stand-offs no matter what if they were m3. I could be jumping the gun though. Maybe the stockers will hold up fine? I’m not sure. Either way, Thanks again for your effort towards improving the hobby for all of us!

You are welcome. Once you take it for a run I would be very interested in your thoughts on the platform or if there are any other things that need improving.

Thanks man! I always enjoy talking with you. I fully support anyone getting to RC and thank you for all the support and kind words! The motor mount will currently work with the buggy as it is so no need for a Different design. the Centre braces do not work in the buggy that’s only for Truggy. Thanks for the input!

Thank you for the ideas. I will look into the cable/wire holding option and see if it is worth it.

The Centre top plate is 5mm thick. I will check how this holds up under testing. The screws are m3 screws which should be sufficient. Thanks for the feedback.

I will appreciate the support!

I personally have never had any issues with the battery boxes. I do some jumps but I would say I don’t bash hard. Do you do large jumps and run quite hard?

@dracoprecision Yes, I do. I use my Flux XL V2 more over my more expensive Alza build because the battey boxes on the V2 don't break. I prefer to run my Alza build because of the giant motor and center diff but I can't unless i build full steel battey boxes. I'm still looking for a less heavy solution.

I see. What about aluminum mounts? These mounts attach to the tvp and then the battery box. Unless the battery box itself breaks then you’d need a whole new assembly.

@dracoprecision I made full aluminum boxes for my Alza XL, and on my first bash, they bent really badly🙃🙃.

Yeah I see, I think just the mounts in aluminum might work better.

Thanks man!

Thank you for the comment. You can now actually get Savage Parts in the USA from Hobby Recreation Products. I recommended checking out their website. The machined bulletproof gears are the best HPI option and if shimmed correctly are very reliable. I don’t over fill my diffs but fill as much as I can and never had issues.

Thanks man!

Thanks man!

Thank you!

@kylarstern Hey man unfortunately I won’t be releasing them for a few months. I could make you a set if you like but they are untested. Let me know what you’d like. If I do order them it will take a few weeks to manufacture. Also I have some spring options for you (I saw your Facebook post). The Kyosho springs front IFS001-7515 Kyosho springs rear IFS001-815

@@dracoprecision You Sir, are a Gentleman. Thank you for the spring options, that means a lot to me. I've been out of the game for 30 years, and I was a bit stuck with the suspension. As far as the Towers go, I don't mind being a test subject for you at all! How much would a set of front and rear set me back?

@kylarstern You are probably looking at around 70US for the pair plus shipping.

@@dracoprecision Really? That's not much at all!! That's only a couple of more dollars then I pay for HPI Genuine. The deciding factor is going to be the post, where will it be coming from? I'm in Australia, if you could possibly get a general idea on postage for me I would be very grateful. You would have more of an idea on your end as far as weights go. Thank you my friend, this means a lot

You’re welcome man. I’m in Japan so it’s about 25US for EMS shipping to Aussie. So total is around $100US including shipping.
