Measured pin to pin... what rear shaft are you using?

I will order from rc alloy. CD and monoblock don't think I will find any standard..
Thanks AA

If I were you I would put the cd as far forward as possible with the motor hanging on the back and spur and pinion foward. Not only does it look the best IMO but with the power of the brushless motor it will help keep the front down. I am running the savage xl bone in my gmaxx and it is a quality peice and cheap also. Rcalloys no longer make bones anymore he closed the doors. I have a rcalloys 95mm bone and a steel 110 mm bone.

I will need +10 mm in the front shaft to get the mount perfect on the center skidplate..
When the cd are in place I can measure the rear shaft.

So now you are going to have to buy 2 hard to (get & find) custom made bones instead of one.You need +10mm bone in addition to what?? IMHO I would use a standard ue 57.5mm titanium bone the front and figure out the back after mock up. If this helps I have these bones availiable. UE titanium 57.5 , 70mm and 100.5mm. I also have rcalloys stainless 57mm and 95mm. I have steel 70mm,94mm,110mm and 142mm.

Maxxrickard, since you are using the FLM chassis and monoblock combo... your chassis will be the same length as mine... the drive train should be the same as well since your using the spider CD...
I don't see why you can't use the Savage XL center shafts... It's not a tight fit, so I used a little fuel tubing in each drive cup to reduce movement of shafts....

Did you drill the holes in the center skid to install the CD mount yet? if not... do a dry mock up with some dowels cut just over 142mm and 63mm... put them together and see if the fit will work
for you... if so, you will have a cheap fix to the drive shaft problem...

See the pic below:

If you look closely, you will see the small piece of fuel tubing in the cup apply outward pressure on the drive shaft

I haven't drilled the hole yet but I have order: Heavy Duty Dog Bone for the HPI Savage SS/21/25/X/Flux HP. It's 83/8.
But if your bones is to small maybe this will be fine with the 142 rear bone. It's 20mm longer than your set up AA. What do you think?

Do the mock up with 83mm and 142mm... see how well it works... then you will know what direction to take...

I just found your build Angry-Alien that is one sick build. I agree with you as far as using the savage center bones I dont see why they wont fit.

Thanks boys.
I have order 83 in front and 142 rear. Maybe maybe

Did you meassure first? I think the only way the wouldnt fit is if the center diff is different demension cup to cup. The actually flm chassis should be the same except AA modded his but the braces,skids and mono should should be identicle demensions.

No... $10 I will try..

thanks man :yes:... yep, they are strong, cheap and are more or less a perfect fit...
