This instead of FLM conversion?

i realize it would take some fabbing for batt and motor and esc mounts, but this thing is HUGE! maybe i should get a set of savage axles off of ebay. maybe a mega 22/45/2 and a sentilon 100a esc on 10s to 12s? maybe the zippy-r packs? what do you guys think?

Go with the flm kit, much better IMO, plus it has the motor mount and battery tray already setup. I would post some pics, but I am waiting till I get it complete

well, i would like to run 10s most likely and you cant fit that in the flm kit..... :no:

I can fit 5s 8000mah truerc pack in mine. They are made from 4000mah cells in a 5s2p configuration. So you should be able to fit 10s 4000mah.
Dont get me wrong... Its a tight squeeze, but they do fit nicely.

what would be the best manufacturer that makes a 10s pack that i could fit in there?

I would buy a pair of 5s packs and run them in series. Maybe some flightpower lipos, like the 3700 cells.

I don't think you will find a whole lot of options on factory built 10s packs. You will probably be better off going with 2x 5s packs wired in series. You could just put another layer of heatshrink over the 2 packs to tie them together and you can handle them like 1 pack.

ANother thing to think about is charging a 10s pack. There arent alot of chargers out there that charge 10s well. 2x 5s packs might be asier to handle in this regard also.

EDIT: Pimp is a faster tyepr then me.....:tongue:

A pair of these might be a nice low cost option. And should fit nicely. I have 3 of the 5000mah 4s packs and they are great for the cash.

well, the mega motor im using only pulls 60a, and lutach said he got 23 mins runtime with some 2200 packs on the 22/30/2 which pulls 70a. he was running 6s. well im thinking about the 2500 fp's 25c or the 3300 30c.

no worries about charging, i have a 1210i.

how about 2 of these in series?

damn that is one extended chassis.

way too long imo.

yeah, ill just get the FLM with nemesis wheels.

I dont see why that wouldnt work. Slightly easier to fit also with the 45mm width vs the 50mm width of the 4000 packs.

any motor suggestions? i will probably use the mega bur i want to know is theres anything else out there that will work without breakin the pig!
