Have just worked out why the TVPs on the Truckzillas are different. The silver ones come with the complete truckzilla kit which included the .46cu in(7.5cc) mill where as the gold ones are from the truckzilla sport which kept the original savage 25 rear exit exhaust motor. The sport TVPs are only 2.5mm thick as opposed to the silver ones being 3mm.So today see as the weather has been crap & that I'm a sad old git & this issue has been bugging me since I put these truck together, I decided to change the TVPs over on my 2 Truckzillas. The reason for doing this was that although both trucks are Hotbodies Truckzilas they have different TVPs. I think one is a Truckzilla Sport. the silver ones (this being the sport) are higher at the rear and wouldn't allow for the rear exit manifold to fit correctly, the manifold had to face up making the pipe sit to high. These trucks originally had a 4.6 cu in(7.5cc) mill which had side exit exhausts. The Gold TVPs are lower at the rear but was running these with a rear twin pipe. Also had to notch out the chassis on the silver set to allow the mill to fit nice, think this is because the spur gear is a 52T which pushes the mount all the way over to the right.
Anyway both trucks are now back together and must say now happy with both of them.
