Upper hole in tranny case not centered (motor side) - RC-Monster Forums

LOL leroy..

here are a few pics of the tranny.

You can choose between the GPM (CRAPCOUGHCOUGHMOLDEDCOUGH) or the CNC machined FLM.. I would take an FLM over the GPM anyday.

If it works ok and only looks funny, I don't care much. If were bad enough to not fit though, I asked so that someone could warn me before I took the old one apart that it might not fit. If it fits, no big deal. If it doesn't fit, I'm a comin' after y'all!

I have not noticed that problem but I have not yet assembled mine. I was waiting on a replacement idler gear shaft support. The one that came with my trans was bored incorrectly and the shafts did not fit. Now that the replacement part is here I'll check it out.

Yes, I polish all my own stuff. Right now I don't have time to polish anything, LOL I'm still trying to finish polishing my chassis which is partially done but on hold until I sort out the trans mounting issues. I may have to send in this chassis for a replacement (there goes all the hard work!).

Hopefully I'll be able to help a few of you guys out and polish a limited number of items. Doing the FLM transcase to "mirror" polished finish takes about 6 hours. I'm doing it because I've always wanted a Polished Supermaxx Truck. It may be a bit of a maintenance headache to keep up but I'll give it a go. I also have a special clear coat designed for polished metals. I may or may not use it. With all the flying debris it might chip the clear which would be worse than dulling the metal.

Finally, I'll post some pics, but most of my pics are on my laptop pc. Next time I fire it up I'll post some pics.

I can't say it will fit. I can't say it won't fit.
I can say it will be hard to see. You took the pic from inside the case.
You won't see that on the truck. It is on the bottom as well. The diff cups and chassis will help hide it. As far as looking funny. That would be the least of my worries. Just look at procharger. With all that shine he got you don't notice his. :017:

Went home to check my trans case. the bearing pockets & hole look good, but when I set it on the chassis I found out that the FLM chassis was mis-drilled! The holes are too far forward! AAAARGH.

I love FLM's Warranty & Customer Servive. Jamie & Gina are great!

However FLM's products will never match the quality and performance of Unlimited Engineering. I thought they just installed upgraded CNC machining centers too!
