Would replacing my vrd carbon motor mount plate with the plastic one from the stance lower the lcg?

I'm running Exo Half Domes on my two comp rigs and do like them. The skid is far enough forward to give great breakover but not so far forward that performance suffers in other areas. If I was doing a ground up build today I may choose something else, but they have gotten me a lot of wins and I'm happy enough with them that I'm going to run them both next year.

I do run a VRD Carbon for some comps and use it as a loaner comp rig. I'm switching it to a Rock Pirates chassis this week but if you want to keep stock chassis, I'd ditch the VXT2 tires and get Tusks, DLux Iron Rocks, or Krawlers with 3d printed inserts. Next thing would be a BOCO stainless steel BTA mount from 1Tenth, and I'd drop the ride height a bit.

I ordered JConcept Tusks.

Funny you said that, I’ve been looking at dropping the ride height all week.
Is this the correct mount? BOCO RC - HD BTA Servo Mount and 4 Link Adapter for Composite VP F10 P
I was looking for the lightest one.


My vrd carbon actually has the brazin frontline chassis. I got it to keep my transmission and keep up better and noticed a huge difference I’ll try it out more on the group lines this week when I get time. The vxt tires I got cheap on eBay with wheels and had krawlers before that but are on another crawler currently. Have any suggestions on 3D printed inserts brands for vrd I’m going to get them for my tusks. Thanks for the suggestions on the mount.

Ah, when i was looking at it i thought the skid was more forward than normal but i wasnt sure. You cant run BTA with that chassis, even with a stubby.

I ran a few different inserts in Tusks. Most of this season i ran BAMF. Single shore up front, dual shore super soft out back. But he randomly changes things up and sometimes not for the better. He also has developed a bit of a reputation as a hot head. 3 brothers new antifoams seem to be doing good once they get broken in. Squids also do great, but be sure to email him and give him specs. The newer set i got is a bit firmer than the last set. He will customize for you.

Tusks and 3D prints it is!
Thanks for all your help.

Wanted to leave this here mainly for my own reference if I ever decide to go this route or the chance someone is going the same route and needs an idea.
BTA servo for the Brazin Frontline Chassis.

3D Print File for Skid
Transmission
Driveshafts

This should get me the behind the axle mounted servo for the Brazin Frontline chassis.
