So your only having the issue with your FLM bulks? I will say that is kind of odd haha, let us know how it works out, Janeth seems like the type of girl to make things right.

I ended up cutting the front and rear off my stock TVP's, and bolted them onto the new ones and sat with a file and dremel and matched them to the stock contour. I still had to use some persuation to get the rear in, but the went on.
Only got a little bit left to to, so I'll post up some pics in my thread.

Well I got the TVP's on finally and picked up some of the integy alum. bearing carriers. Unfortunatly all they had were the purple ones *puke* but I am just going to have to deal with it haha. Also got bored and painted the PS, had a bit of a paint mishap thus the rc-monster and castle stickers on the bottom of it. Still waiting to get my diffs in the mail(starting to get angry on that one!) and also shock oil for the shocks then they can go on, plus ordered castle bullet connectors to switch everything over from deans.

Got a body on (painted it myself, screwed it up and just not happy with it, having someone paint a new one) and the shocks also installed, along with switched everything from deans to CC bullet connectors. I threw on the stock wheels just to get an idea and HOLY this thing is huge!

Lookin' good!

Thanks man. Hopefully I get the rest of the parts this week and run it before it snows, but that might be a long shot.

Well I built some battery trays for it, doing away with the ugly stockers that I had to cut up anyways. Probably going to get them anno'd black eventually. Should be getting the new body next week too, diffs are in but can't pick them up till monday...Just waiting on wheels now.

Nice job ! The trays look clean and neat.
Gonna need a cushion of some sort between the lipo and the side w/the motor mount ?
I like the color choice and layout of the paint job also.

Thanks! The lipo will sit will ahead of the motor, but if I ever do need to place it there I have a whole roll of 1/4" thick rubber.

That body is the one I screwed up and have since decided to get one airbrushed by a guy, it will be the same idea but actually nice haha.
