FLM Forward Conversion Build

It you put the diffs in the savage around the wrong way it won't be able to roll freely. Sounds like he did something I have done a few times. Unplug the wires to swap them around but plug them back in exactly the same way again.

Correct MTBikerTim. The diffs are in the correct direction. The motor had so much torque it broke the one way bearing and now it is a two way bearing.

I took the truck out for a quick spin tonight right here by my condo. Not exactly the best spot to run a truck but I wanted to just see if everything was working. The truck ran great. The power was awesome..... The area I was testing in was way to small to really get a feel for what she is capable of. It was a little wet as well so was trying to avoid puddles.

This weekend I will get some time in at the local park and get a friend to shoot some video. It is early yet, but I think this thing is going to be awesome!

Awesome it will be great to see some video. Try and hit some jumps for us.

I made a barrier as discussed to stop the battery from hitting the spur during bashing. I used a dremel and cut it out of a piece of carbon board. I attached it to one of the posts supplied with the kit using zip ties and CA.

It is pretty sturdy and I feel confident it will hold well. The lipo is nice and snug in there now.

A few more

Now that I know how to reduce the size of my pics here are the ones I linked to earlier.
