My FLM Savage Build

linc, you rule
I will give this a try and order some extra parts and see what I come up with. Thanks for the help. Didn't think about the extra size on the pinions
Just mean another 2 weeks before this thing is running.

No prob, I must have fooled with gearing for about 10 setups with the flm chassis. Seemed like you had to lock it in 1st and use large pinions if your motor speeds were around 45mph, that way the battery and motor would fit. I did not like the idea of raising the mount up, so I got around it with gearing. I had the chassis built for over 6 months and never ran it...

Ya I am just too stubborn for that. After all the time and cash into this thing there is no way it is going to sit there.
Besides, its driving the wife nuts that it is not done yet. She will probably driving it anyway. She is scared of my Baja.

Well got everything mounted up. Made some risers for the ESC plate to lift the controller up a bit higher. Have the Lipo, motor and ESC all installed and everything fits very good now. Just waiting on the tranny gear and the larger pinions as well as a new rx and I am ready to go.
