This is my rough draft. Still a couple of minor things to finish and I'll post some better pics.

Are you running a two speed? It looks promising. Not crazy about the battery mounts.


Peace!

I'm gonna use maxx batt trays. I'll be getting them this weekend. In this truck I have the 3 spd and my other has the 2 spd. I'm gonna try them both to see which works out better.

Looks good. Where are you getting the trays from?

Thanks.

Cool. Could you let me know on the 2 or 3speed. The 3 speed has a wider range for bashing. 10% lower and higher. I have the 3 speed in mine now. I was thinking of doing mine with the 3 speed. I have a 2 speed in the drawer though. Heavy duty model to.

What kind of plugs are you using that go into the motor?

Serum you may be right. I have considered a flm extended tvp, extended arm, hybred bulk, bl-savage. I am not crazy about the tranny and mounting batteries outside of the tvps. I would definately go for a savage with center diff, maybe mounted more towards the rear so batteries could fit between the plates. I suspect you are doing a center diff, but inboard batteries would make it irresistable.:027:

I got a stock maxx chassis coming that I will cut the trays out of. I don't care for the assoc. battery trays and I got the chassis for the cost of 1 twin force tray.
Serum I didn't realize I needed the plugs for the esc and motor when I ordered them and couldn't find any locally so I made them. I used standard electrical plugs and reworked them to fit the way I needed them to. I have nice tight connections on both and I didn't have to order anything else. If I wasn't so antsy to run it I would've just ordered them from Mike. I'll prob end up ordering them anyway as I'll need them down the road for the maxx. That'll end up with 9918/9L when Mike gets the esc back from being repaired. So far I love the 18.97/9XL combo. I just need a reverse module for the savy and I'm set. I've got some flm diff cups in the mail.
