Well here is the new Flux XL

[Desert Rc]

The break was very fluke like. These large wheels put alot of stress on this rig.

I do have the XL 1offrc plates. Is there a bolt on mount to get the larger motor in there??

I would love to get the 1520 shoehorned in there. I also thought the db17 had more motor mounting options but I was just on the site and I did not see any mention of it as far as a optional mount. I would also like the option of using my 6s lips in a single pack in the center of the rig.

Not that I am aware of... guess Arct1k is hinting concerning FLM, but patience is key there, lots of it.

Best you can do is grind out the existing mounts to accept the larger engine diameter. One of the reasons I've decided to for now just beat the heck out of the Flux motor until something comes out.

Well the FLM trans forward (XL length) seems to have room; I'm not sure about 6S though seems rather tight was going to send an email to Jaime about that. FLM trans forward gets rid of the bulky radio/server box so ends up with more room than other XL Flux TVPs that use the radio/sever box.

Go 5T and you can fit the batteries in no problem. ;) Think you can do it with the DB17 too.

Hmmm thats interesting Arct1k. I haven't seen another XL length chassis that allows for large batteries to be mounted low and between the TVPs besides mine. They coulda done it 6 months go and saved me the trouble

I'm sure i've seen a 6s pack in the FLM forward tranny somewhere before but i think it was a smaller pack and the guy had used a larger pinion and or larger spur to move the motor over to make room. Can't remember where that was atm.

Coincidently i received the 6s pack (30C 5000mAh) today for the regearing i'm doing. It's a serious house brick but still fits with room to spare.
