New FLM Brushless Motor Mount in the Nude

This looks great! I'm really interested in one. I have a savage roller just sitting here with the intent to convert it and it looks like I'll get this kit. Any ETA yet?

Thanks!

It looks very nice, and just in time for my Savage that just got running after a year of sitting in the garage. I'll be looking forward to one when they're released.

Also, where does the brake servo mount? I cant tell, is it still up front by the steering servo? Or is this intended to be run with a single speed locked tranny. Just wondering cuz I like to run the 2 speed and mechanical brake on my savage and would want to see a place to put the brake servo.

Also, is this an extended wheelbase from the stock length? Would it be possible to move it all farther forward with an exended wheelbase?

Good questions. I was wondering about the first 2 too. I am fairly sure this chassis is based around the extended chassis. It definitely looks like it. At the right rear of the chassis there are things that look like servo mounts but are on the wrong side and don't have 2 holes.

I will have some pics of the fully assembled truck sometime tomorrow.

To answer a few questions:
There is a servo plate up front that will hold the steering and brake servos.
The standoff you see on the one side is for a speed control plate.

That's good news. Thanks for the answers too. Can't wait to see it built.

Mike was going to get a kit to test it. Is he going to post a review?

OK. Here is a few pics of the assembled BL Savage.

Some more pics.

WOW!!! Looks sweet!

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that kit!

Any pictures that show the battery fit in the back by the motor.

I hope these help showing what you want to see.

OK now the pics.

The details on the battery: Maxamps 4s 5000mah

Just to give you an idea on the space that is available.

Looks great, sign me up for one! One question though, would a lipo 44mm x 50mm x 145mm aprox. fit? Thanks!

Bye

Thats incredible!

Very nice, Makes me want one lol

[MTBikerTim]

That's pretty sweet. When can we get one ?

A fatter pack, say 5/6s will fit too won't it? Can't quite tell from the photo. Looks like it would if the pack can lye the other way.

Looks like there will be plenty of room for batteries. Can you show a straight top down view of the whole truck with the battery in it. It would give a much better idea of the spce available both in front of the battery and beween the battery and the motor.

No matter what It looks like a winner to me. Are preorders available???

EDIT: Love the ESC Mount. Looks like it will work for the MM or MGM very well. An idea though...If you make it a little bigger you could make it a perfect size to use as a Quark heatsink too. Just make it the same size as the quark case.
