The lower plate is the lower plate - initial pictures were of a working prototype. What is shipping is the finished product. :)

I really hope FLM makes a chassis like this for the e-revo and summit near the same price range.One of the biggest complaints for both e-revo and summit is the size of battery that can be used.

I'd like to see someone do an erevo chassis too- just needs beefing up at the front and rear ends to prevent said ends of the truck from bending during use ( see: KershawDesigns erevo chassis epic fail )- the turnbuckle mod that guys do on the stock chassis works just fine and could be integrated into an aftermarket chassis easily enough ( add a nice little machined mount for the rod end that attaches over the shocktower ).

Damn way to make us jealous :no: Just kidding looks pretty sick :smile:

I think this Chassis might work even better with Mike's Battery Trays.

I was looking through the store and have a question.

Which one would work best?

Just the plain 50mm x 150mm tray looks close to what I want.

I want something that will hold 50mm wide packs that will bolt to the chassis using the existing holes.

If you're still around this thread, Can you make a recommendation Mike?

Thanks

Ideally I think you would want it with a flat bottom - the 50x150 would have mud guard clearance machined into the bottom unless requested otherwise.

Is there a flat bottom tray in the list that will work well with this?

Just request it with a flat bottom when you place the order ( attach a note ), since they are made to order pretty much if I'm not mistaken.

Just an idea.

If you're having thoughts of adding a Emaxx FLM Chassis tray to the list, I will buy and then follow up here with pictures of my build to help promote the product.

I make them in batches, but it is quite easy to make a tray that I have made previously. Also, I would be happy to make a set of trays specific to the FLM chassis as well - all out of them at the moment, though. If you feel like getting some measurements, I can make the trays to the chassis for you. :)

Mike's trays are awesome :yes:

Looks like FLM left plenty of room for packs

I would like my flat bottom trays to be 160mm x 52mm on the inside.

It looks like the Maximum outside side can be up to 175mm x 58mm and still be completely over the aluminum plate.

It's OK if my trays are a little wider on the outside then 58mm. I'm not too worried about impact on the trays, but I'm not sure if 3mm of side would be rigid enough.

I hope this helps.

Let me know what your thoughts are. :yes:

sikeston34m 03.08.2012 11:38 PM

So when is the next battery tray production run? :intello:

WARNING!

You WILL tear up your slipper if you use the original transmission screws without some sort of spacer!

I learned this the hard way.

Which is NOT included or mentioned BTW
