i suppose cause its kinda self explainatory(sp? lol) like if you buy an arm then its kinda obvious lol, but sometimes im brain dead and need the obvious things pointed out. Plus i think instructions make the company seem more professional.

The instructions on their site is a good idea!

Progress Picts

Waiting on 5mm Pinion. Ordered Monday - I wish I could get one local in the mean time, but LHS doesn't carry.

Also on the way:

Gmaxx Sigle Speed Trans kit
FLM Diff Cups & gears
RC Solutions Controller Mount

your gonna ruin a 12 dollar pinion with that spur. you need a hardened pinion if you run a steel spur. you could get a emaxx spur from rrp. the come in 66 and 70 tooth i think.

where are the insturctions on their site at?

Mike's aren't hardened?

It was a suggestion. There are no instructions. (At least the weren't any last time I checked.

Later.

I guess I could run the stock for now. Do you know this for sure?

Thanks for the help.

I have ran a reg pinion on a metal spur. Yes it wears out real fast. The metal shaving are attracted to the magnet in the motor to. just to point that out.

Thanks. Since I can only get the 5mm from east coast, I run plastic. I am going to start 66 18 with 12 cells and take it from there.

Parts are on the way - I can't wait to get this thing up and running.

Do the angle mounted servos cause any problems with setting up the steering and such?

I'm a total newb. I've just had really bad luck with breaking stuff. I just broke my stock chassis last night hitting a sidewalk at about half speed. I don't get it. Does the angle mounting cause any problems with aluminum servo skidplate clearance or anything?

Will standard bodies fit the extended chassis without looking too bad?

Does the FLM only come with one driveshaft?

I would really like to get a replacement ASAP so I can transfer everything to a new chassis this weekend if possible. Just two more questions:

Are the chassis braces dimensions different from the stock? I have a full center skidplate that won't work right if the braces are different angles and such.

Does this chassis lower the batteries like the Gorillamaxx chassis do? I really like the groud clearance I have right now with the stock

Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I have all the info I need before I shell out the $$. I want to make sure it will be a pretty straight forward conversion without TOO many hangups, LOL. Thanks in advance for all of you guy's help.

the angle wont cause any troubles. you will just have to relign it and such. your servo skid should work fine.

im not sure but it wont be to bad although proline makes an extended for such things.

the flm only comes with one since the rear is extended and not the front.

if you order it ASAP mike might be able to get it to you by at least saturday.

yes, the chassis braces are different and im not sure if your skid will work.

no and yes. the chassis was made to were you can mount them on top like most or on bottom for a lower cg if you want.

it should be pretty straight forward and you shouldnt have any troubles getting it together.

by the way, welcome to forums! you will certainly learn alot from here as all of us have and you will like it here im sure. its the best forum for brushless infor there is!

It only comes with the rear shaft. The stock front one will work.

Mike has some extended bodies to fit the extended chassis. The stock looks alittle funny cause it is short.

The center skid is not going to work on the flm unless it is only mounted right under the tranny.

The batteries are mounted hi like on a stock chassis.

I had no problems with the angled servos just have to adjust the linkages some.

sorry for the bad luck on stock. The flm is much stronger than the stocker.

coolhand, cant the batteries be mounted on the bottom for a lower cg?

Are the better battery hold downs available yet?

How do you mount the antenna if there is no hole for it?

I have the FLM extended chassis and it´s GREAT!!! :004:

The GorillaXL Straps fits perfect.

I finally run with a BL setup: Micro3695 and Feigao9L with 14 VTEC 3.700mA cells runs 41mph .

Waiting for a 8XL and Hyperion 3.700VX 11,1V 20c lipos.

What version of chassis is that vwt4? I like the looks of that one better.

Yeah squee you can mount your batteries on the bottom. I don't like the idea of that though. It will take some serious pounding some time from debris.

I don´t know, I bought it last month to RCBros.

It fits 8 cells side by side perfectly, but the GorillaStraps don´t come with the FLM kit. :frown:

What do you do with your antenna w/out having a place on the chassis to stick it?

I use a metal antenna mount like this, but there are similar in plastic:

Is cheap and easy to find in your LHS or in Ebay.

Well, I've been trying to order my chassis and a few other things, but the site doesn't seem to be responding well. :sigh:

are you having trouble ordering from here? what issues are you having?

The site seems to stall every now and then and just take forever to bring up a new page. If I wait like 20-30 minutes it sometimes fixes it. It could just be my network here at work though. Hey Mike, since your here, are the aluminum Batt holder available yet?

If I can get the order in today Mike, could I get you to overnight the parts to me so I can have them by the weekend?

So this G3 maxx will convert straight from the stock? I could use stock stuff until i go brushless?

Yes, you can use everything you got for now.

nice truck, is that the gorilla Nick?

Whos truck are you reffering to?

on page one, it's nick's truck...he has pics, it's an older line i was going thru...

thanks for the info on the G3 Sylvester!

Will this: http://www.rc-monster.com/fastlane.php?pg=3 skidplate work with the extended chassis?

If you talking about the FLM one no. It work with out extension but not with.

No it will not, it only works with non-extended, if you want, you can always try gorillamaxx skids, they are 30% lighter than stock plastic, and are ALOT stronger!

Are there any transmissions skids that will work with the FLM extended E-Maxx chassis?

Yes, if the flm chassis braces are the same allignment like stock (which i think they are) Any center skid should do the job!

The FLM center skid will work with the FLM ext. chassis. No problem. If you order early enough today, Indy, I can express your parts. :)

Mike, have you sent out my pinion? thanks:)

Well, just got the extended chassis ordered, WOOHOO!!!

Nice man! Be sure to take pics once it comes in :D:)

Where would be another good place to look for an extended body for the FLM chassis? I only have the stock E body right now. I'd like to find a Jeep or Hummer body. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon unlimited would be awesome. :-)

Look at www.pro-lineracing.com , they should have a good ext body for you:)

From the looks of it, the only bodies available are Ford F-350 and Cadillac Escalade.
