**Mamba XL on Savage with FLM Forward Tranny Chassis -** 01.23.2011, 01:28 PM

Hi all, I've just completed to setup my Savage with the new arrived Castle Mamba XL ESC.

Due to XL size (see below), the standard FLM ESC mount cannot be used (well, it could be used, but the ESC results too tightly firmed between shock towers and the motor - a 1717 in my case).

After some attempts, I decided to put the XL on the back shock tower, so I made a carbon fiber plate to hold the ESC

The ESC fits now well and still there is enough space to fit the Lipos within the chassis

Further, due to ESC mounting position, I realized that the stock blower cover it is too weak and exposed to dust and small stones, so I made a little metal cover

And the final results is as in the below photo

Bye, Andrea
