Just wondering if the Avant fx kit will work on the evo 90?...I can't seem to find a phone number to get a hold of a live tech person at carbon extreme...

i believe the major difference is the frame. its cut differently to allow for the different shaped/larger tank the evo90 offers.. i also believe there is some sort of 3rd bearing block that comes in the avant efx kit.

well, I can't say for 100% sure but I'm currently putting together
an FX using my old Freya.

But I have the larger fuel tank so when I ordered the FX, I told
them I needed the 'large fuel tank option'.

What that did was substitute the 2 CF frames and some ancillary parts
for fuel tank mounting.


So...........

to answer your question, no, an FX kit will not directly work because the
fuel tank size is different which requires a different frameset
(although I suppose you could buy the smaller original Freya fuel
tank) AND the Evo90 clutch setup is different (triple bearing).
You can order the Avant EFX clutch block and that would fix that problem.

Bottom line, for about $50 or so, you could back convert the
Evo90 into an FX by getting the smaller fuel tank and the new
clutch block from CarbonExtreme.

There are a few differences, as already said the frames are different for the fuel tank, next is the clutch pinion mount has an extra bearing on the EFX/EVO and finally the head on the standard Freya is different from the EVO so the Avant head mods are different.

I know there are a couple of guys at the lazyloopers.com club
(in Wrentham, MA) that are building up Avants and should be ready
in a few weeks.

it's by email or you could try PMing Augusto directly.

What do you need to know?

If you have the Evo90, then get the EFX kit and you'll
have to order the Hirobo fan shroud separately. Thats it.
Wait about 2-3 weeks and a box will arrive.

You do not have to get the tiny fan shroud bracket, as the
EFX/FX now come w/ that piece made of CF.

I was looking at getting the fx kit that Mr. Green has for sale here...I was trying to see what the difference was since I need the efx kit..I am considering seeing if I can return the fx kit for the efx kit....that may be too much trouble though...

If you are planning on using an OS91 I would recommend getting a 12T pinion and a 97T main gear, my runs so sweetly.

The 12T pinion and a 97T main gear is the setup to get if using the OS91.

The EFX Kit would be the way to go if you have an EVO90 kit.
