Is RT for Me????


Recommended Posts

Well i have an FX TX Stealth kit, i am almost done, but i will eventually want white armor of course, i am 5'11" 205lbs, the FX armor fits on me with no shims needed, but it's cutting it very close, would RT give me the mobility and comfort needed to be elite???? I know FX armor is acceptable as elite status, but i also know that RT is more accurate!!!!!!! I figure i'm too big for AP!!!! :angry: anyone???? AP is smaller than FX armor right????

Might not be too big for AP. It really depends on your build. I'm 6-00 235 lbs and I wear AP. Granted, I had to use FX shoulders, biceps, and forearms, but it fits....barely.

AP is smaller than FX. I still had to shim FX biceps. No shims in the AP legs, but it's close. I also fudged a little on the plastic strips on the front. I went 1 1/4" instead of the 7/8"

Dang Craig - looks great! Though you might have been able to pass with AP bells because in the movie they weren't really covering that far down. I think you can make AP fit with a little shimming. People much bigger than you have done it.

Couldn't get the AP bells to sit over my shoulders. I heated them and tried to open them up, but my shoulders are too big from front to back.

 

Darthalias, you might make it in an AP.
