Talking A few pictures of my Savage SS conversion. - 09.18.2008, 02:01 PM

Well it is done for now. As you can see this is a mostly a stock setup with the exception of the FLM tranny forward kit and the associated electronis.
My setup is:
FLM kit
MMM V2, running great!
Feigao 8XL
Trans locked into second gear
Two Poly RC 2s 25c 5000 lipo's, 2s for my son, he is two-and-a-half, 4s for me in series.

And here are a few pics






Thanks to everyone who helped me get up to speed on doing this conversion, you all were and are a ton of help.

That looks nice. I sure like the looks of the FLM chassis. How much does it weigh?

Ok so the weight with my 4s battery is 13 pounds and less the battery 11.9 pounds. Hope this helps any other questions just let me know.

I locked the tranny into second to keep things simple, no shifting to worry about, and to be able to use the reverse feature of the esc. Locking the trans in gear allows you to remove the oneway bearing and run in both directions without the reverse module, again to keep things simple. Many people do run the two and three trans with success, just depends on what you want.

Thanks for the compliment and I thought it came out great for a mostly stock setup, clean and simple. Oh ya and it runs great! I wonder though what I will break first?

Thanks to all,

Darion
