I like the 25 style tvps more than the X, but whichever front section works better with the flux rear is what i will use for mockup. Cutting the new tvps will not take long, I plan to make them symmetrical save for the area next to the motor which will be clearanced for a flux-style esc mount.

Still waiting on the motor back from neu...

Hmm, I think my 15" wb truck will be a bit better than his setup...

My battery mounting will be higher, but I do not think that will cause my much issue.

I dont know about that linc. The savage has bad enough handling as is. Why make it worse?

While my battery mounting may be a bit higher it will place more of the weight over the front wheels. That will help handling. Plus it is a basher, not going to try to race this beast. Might just sell it when I am done anyways.

...interesting comment...

...we hardly treat him like a god though...He does dedicated e-sav designs and he does them very well...as he is the only maker doing that then we try to look after him as much as he looks after the us / the platform...plain and simple...

...I was merely showing the link because it was similar...thats all...Now back to your regular programming...

...Linc i like what you have done / are doing...Just adds more variety to the mix...

I have one of the tvps outlined, just need to drill the holes and cut the hole for the tranny. The second tvp should go quickly.

Heres a few pics for you people with no imagination...



A shot of the addl length that I added in front of the tranny, 4.2cm to be exact.



Rear is identical to the flux tvp, as is the front.



Looks like the material I am using is slightly thicker than the stock flux tvp.

The doctor keeps telling me that length is not important... But I know she is lying, I just know it!

Thanks, I enjoy making my own stuff, kinda like sculpting or art without all of that creativity...
