Th BP diffs don't make it easy to get an appropriate gear reduction. In my center diff conversion i'm going to try BPs + 46 spur + 16-17 pinion + Tekin 1350kV + 5s

Do you know the gearing of the BP diffs, If not I'll go look for it. Thanks.

Not very far off from the 43/13 of the standard ones, i.e. 3.2 vs 3.3.

1350 on 5S might be a tad low in the rpm department. I'm looking at going with the 1.5y wind 1800 CN for a center diff conversion and like a 50/13 (could go with a 46/12 too) for target of about 45 with ProLine Badlands.

Good source of info.

Also I should note that truggy diffs should probably drop right in with some shimming. I didn't fully test it, but I dropped in my RC8T diffs into the Savage bulkhead and with some minor shimming it rolled true. Didn't do anything to check the bevel gear for fitting.

AH, I see BrianG's new version of his page and it's awesome. I also had no idea he's added the BP diffs to the speed calc,sweet.
Thanks !

From the pics, it doesn't appear that Flux boxes are mountable this with kit. Can anyone confirm my suspicion?

It's a bummer that the rear support of the motor mount does not fit with larger motors. Have anyone of you had motor movement from bad crashes or landings?

Nard Cox · 04.08.2010, 03:27 AM

Confirmed. That's the + for my of this kit, no more annoying battery boxes but the LiPo nice and safe inside the TVP's. You might be able to mod it to fit the battery box though.

No motor movement here, steady as a rock.

Thanks for the info.

I don't really like the idea of dremeling up an expensive brand new kit.

Where would I buy replacement center drive shafts?

suicideneil · 04.12.2010, 03:42 PM

Mike custom makes driveshafts, there should be a listng in the rc-m shop.

rtoc · 04.19.2010, 02:59 PM

Are there any other reliable places to purchase this kit?

It's out-of-stock at the RCM store. Anyone know how long it takes the owner to restock FLM stuff?

Nard Cox · 04.19.2010, 04:56 PM

Send Mike an email ;)

Made a small jumping video again for anyone who might be interested. it's my Flux XL together with my RC8Te.

Beautiful house you have there.

That pond is a little too close for comfort.

Nard Cox · 04.22.2010, 11:36 AM

I still live with mommy and daddy but yeah, it's not bad :)

On the end when the dog is chasing it gets pretty close huh. The night after this I even dreamd (or actually it was more of a nightmare) that I jumped the flux in the middel of the pond, not funny !

Man was I relieved to see my Flux nice and dry that morning after.

Thats a great camera
You don't do so well jumping the savage. You know you need to stay on the throttle more right?

Nard Cox · 04.22.2010, 03:32 PM

The problem was that it were 3 plates on the jump. With the Savage (which I've jumped first) I put the plates uhm ....... hard to explain. Anyway, the ramp was not build properly because afterwards the jumps were better (the clip is mixed up time wise so it's hard to see). The first time I've kept getting nosedives even when holding throttle, and don't want to land the car with the wheels spinning to fast since that's bad for the drivetrain. Besides the Flux jumps like a tank compared to the RC8Te :)
