FlexFender Info

[nitroRCs]

Hi guys.

I was wondering, someone who has a TSI Flexfender, could you post how long it is, how wide it is, how thick it is and how far from the start of the piece of metal is the first hole? Also, how far apart are the 2 holes?

I did dearch and didnt find any of these answers.

Could someone please tell me ASAP.

Thanks.

jesus, does it have to be exactly the same as a TSI flexxy?
Billie said 1.5 inch wide brakes are sweet.
And it doesnt matter, make it as long as you want and it doesnt matter about the holes so long as there is some to bolt it onto your deck.

 

[matr!]

Mine was only one inch wide and it covered the whole wheel (eagle)

 

[mdemoss]

get 1 inch wide 1/8 thick alu
bolt it on ur scoot(with your back wheel off)
bend it up
put ur wheel back on
bend the alu around ur wheel
then cut the extra off

 

[Zaηe]

and holy crap you have a flexfender.
best tut ever.

1 inch covers the wheels but Billie said he used 1.5 and its much better, if i ever make another im making it 1.5.

 

[Billie Rainbow]

yes make it wider, makes it stronger and easier for tricks to manny

I made mine wit these instructions

HOW TO MAKE A FLEX FENDER
Get a strip of aliminium 1 inch wide, 1/8 inch thick. About 1 foot long should do...
1. Drill the holes and bolt the piece of aluminium to your deck
2. Bend it up at an angle (without your wheel on)
3. Put your wheel on and bend the aluminium around it
4. Mark where you wanna cut it
5. Cut it. The easiest way to do this is to leave the wheel on and make a groove with your saw then take your wheel off and cut it. This can be awkward but is possible.
6. Sand off the sharp edges where you cut it

1.5" wont fit on a MaddGear deck.

I will make it as big as possible.

Thanks guys!

If Billie did it then there must eb a way to make a 1.5" one fit becasue he rides a mgp.

 

[nitroRCs]

Well, i have measured where the brake goes and there is no way 1.5" would fit.

Also, how thick should the steel be? 2mm, 3mm???? Need to know this please guys.

Thanks.

 

[Jeremy Dalgliesh]

so just use inch wide i also made some it is 3mm thick... u can use one or two drill holes...

 

[matr!]

So your making it out of steel not Alu? I made mine out of 3mm thick alu

 

[Jeremy Dalgliesh]

make it with alu

 

[Zaηe]

and it doesnt matter how thick that is either because you aint gonna go through it.
and yeah 1.5 wont fit, how did you make it fit Billie?
1.25 will.

 

[brody01134]

yo make it 1.25 under the deck but when it comes above the deck make it 1.5 wide. it makes it so nice

 

[Billie Rainbow]

^^^now was that hard? and yeah make it from steel not alu, you dont need the brake to grip that much and the steel one will last longer

 

[nitroRCs]

Alright, im going out now to get some 3mm thick steel! Thanks guys!!!
