New Conversion Kit From FLM

The Maxamps lipos have a slightly smaller foot print than the one in the truck now(MA packs are slightly shorter and narrower). It would probably fit, but would be about twice as tall. :)

I'm sorry for not pointing out, I'm using TrueRc 50mm wide 8000mAh lipo. Also it looks like it would hit the transmission output shaft.

LST shocks, Troy. :)

I am also wondering if a TrueRC 8000mAH pack would fit... preferably a 6s pack.

I really like the look of this Savage. From what I can tell, there will be a tranny instead of a center diff? What will the space at the front of the truck between the TVP's be used for?

I'll have a tough time deciding between this and a truggy for a next project...

Thats nice looking.

Yeah Mike, i got it.

Where exactly does the controller go? I think you should make a brace that holds it on top of the transmission.

Doesn't this conversion makes a huge imbalance in weight? An electric motor weights as much as a nitro engine, excluding the batteries.

And is there enough room between the gearbox and the motormount to clear the mechanical brakes?

Mine's better haha j/k, its good to hear that you worked with Jamie on this Mike, the conversion looks very clean indeed and should be a great seller for sure. It does look a little heavy in the rear end though, but I'm sure the controller and misc. items in the front should level it out a bit. Great job.

I just hope Mike doesn't cancel his plans to bring out his center diff design. The FLM conversion doesn't look like it will work with the longer Neu motors.

I wouldnt have thought you'd need a motor that enormous (bigger than XL or 1515) to move the thing, it cant be that heavy surely?

The 1521 works better for bashers than the 1515. I like large tires, Moabs, Big Joes ect. on my trucks and that puts a strain on any motor. The 1521 gives wheelie popping power while keeping things very cool. LOL-I had a set of 8 1/2 inch Jumbo Kongs on and was doing 40 foot long wheelies. I also like to throw on a set of sand paddle tires and go hill climbing. The 1515 I had was at its torque limit and my 1950 Lehner was beyond its limit. Feigao? HaHaHa poor Feigao de-magnetized.

When is this puppy going to be available for us mere mortals to buy?
