If the tranny is fitting between the tvp's and you just need to mount the motor plate i have these half mounts FLM provide to mount various plates between the tvp's they sent like a few extra with the parts i have ordered over time. does the flux motor mount bump the tvp if you move it out to far ? or is it where the plate mounts go there's no frame material to mount to.

The flux motor mount does not fit the xl tvps plain and simple.

and I wish that the transmission was about an 8th of an inch lower, so i dont need to clearance the entire plate to clear the driveshafts

so it would be easier to use the FLM Flux extended tvp's ahh a uknown~unknown ! i figure with the tranny and the tvps not matching up even close u might have a "heck" of a time working around them and when done will they take the same abuse ! i didn't think the kershaw stuff was bad it just seemed like i was pressed so thats why i didn't stick with it, i was really a good lipo and a pinion away from a test run. i had been eyeballin the new chasis for like a year now and since the flux had been out for a while that made 2 options that was better than the can sitting up so high on the chasis. i was looking at you spur and 44 sounds like a blast i have the 47/20 on my truck now but would like to use the 44 becuse at the moment i'm stuck with my current motor/esc @5s. i am considering locking my tranny because i need that servo for my DM-1 and reverse wouldn't hurt but i'm worried i might burnup my esc "LOSI Brand" before the holidays are over and i can get a MMM. when you get a chance shoot me a link where i can learn about the locking the tranny.

The more i look at the last photo i see you problem you have the motor sitting in the wrong place. i'm not sure how it fits in a flux but the pinion doesn't sit that low in my truck, it really sits off the side of the truck even with the 44spur it don't look as if i could have a tvp wall on that side. pics blow but you can see how they keep the motor plate off the drivetrain.



EDIT !!!
swap the tvps then cut the rail out on motor side use the flux motor plate and mounts, run the integy roll bar that mounts from tranny to rear shock tower (i can't wait to get on or make one their stupid simple and works great) but this would keep things stiff and rigged.
