Narrowed Blitzer front end

[Busdriver]

Now I know it is possible to convert the Blitzer to hex hubs at the front using TL01 arms etc but is there any way of narrowing the lower arm or even better combining hex and narrowing?

If TL01 arms work then you can go two stages narrower. WR02GB i.e. Comical arms which are about 25mm narrower per side, and then TL01 touring car arms are about 5mm per side narrower again.

Just realised that most of what I said is wrong🤦‍♂️ it is only TL01 uprights that work with stock Blitzer lower arms. TL01 and all the other suggestions won’t fit. Shame cos that would have been easy. However whilst rummaging for parts I came across a set of DT02 arms . These I bought so that I could convert my beach buggy  back to long arm if I wanted to. . But why would I want to do that, it’s so gorgeous (my opinion) . So I thought I would look at how I did the narrow version of this. I got the idea from somewhere on this site, quite where escapes me, but a member shortened the chassis and the arms to fit the body better. The big advantage of these arms is that they are one piece mouldings so are easy to cut/drill/dremel to fit. So I’m going to be doing a little PAD work and see if I can work out some cut lines. The plus side is I should be able include the TL01 uprights and kill two birds with one stone!! Oh if only I could 3d design and print this would be easy peesey!!!!

Work in progress. Geometry’s up the spout but this is just a trial

Thought I should update this. Some of you have noticed some pictures in the no comments thread so I thought I better give some detail. 



 

So this is my Blitzer Speedster. After I gratuitously rammed @Grumpy pants a few weeks back the convertible Blitzer was looking a bit sorry for its self. So a refresh was due, so the body was rebuilt; this I think is probably version 4 or 5, in a Bonneville speedster style. The front end has been narrowed and it is shod with Stock Blitzer wheels with Traxxas Anaconda tyres. A sports tuned miter and 2 S lipo finishes it off. I have a few more bits to add like a pair of headers for the V8 . Hopefully will get to run it soon🤞🏻

Looks great, lots to like here.

I particularly like the windscreen deflector, a very neat touch 👏

Not much to say, other than what a great build. Love it!
