New FLM Low CoG Emaxx Chassis

[RC-Monster Mike]

The lower plate is the lower plate - initial pictures were of a working prototype. What is shipping is the finished product. :)

I really hope FLM makes a chassis like this for the e-revo and summit near the same price range.One of the biggest complaints for both e-revo and summit is the size of battery that can be used.

I'd like to see someone do an erevo chassis too- just needs beefing up at the front and rear ends to prevent said ends of the truck from bending during use ( see: KershawDesigns erevo chassis epic fail )- the turnbuckle mod that guys do on the stock chassis works just fine and could be integrated into an aftermarket chassis easily enough ( add a nice little machined mount for the rod end that attaches over the shocktower ).

Here it is next to a G4 build I am doing:

Damn way to make us jealous Just kidding looks pretty sick

I think this Chassis might work even better with Mike's Battery Trays.

I was looking through the store and have a question.

Which one would work best?

Just the plain 50mm x 150mm tray looks close to what I want.

I want something that will hold 50mm wide packs that will bolt to the chassis using the existing holes.

If you're still around this thread, Can you make a recommendation Mike?

Thanks

Ideally I think you would want it with a flat bottom - the 50x150 would have mud guard clearance machined into the bottom unless requested otherwise.

Is there a flat bottom tray in the list that will work well with this?

Just request it with a flat bottom when you place the order ( attach a note ), since they are made to order pretty much if I'm not mistaken.

Just an idea.

If you're having thoughts of adding a Emaxx FLM Chassis tray to the list, I will buy and then follow up here with pictures of my build to help promote the product.

I make them in batches, but it is quite easy to make a tray that I have made previously. Also, I would be happy to make a set of trays specific to the FLM chassis as well - all out of them at the moment, though. If you feel like getting some measurements, I can make the trays to the chassis for you. :)

Mike's trays are awesome



Nice trucks gumleguf

Looks like FLM left plenty of room for packs

I would like my flat bottom trays to be 160mm x 52mm on the inside.

It looks like the Maximum outside side can be up to 175mm x 58mm and still be completely over the aluminum plate.

It's OK if my trays are a little wider on the outside then 58mm. I'm not too worried about impact on the trays, but I'm not sure if 3mm of side would be rigid enough.

I hope this helps.

Let me know what your thoughts are.

So when is the next battery tray production run?

You WILL tear up your slipper if you use the original transmission screws without some sort of spacer!

I learned this the hard way.
