why just the single speed coupler? or do you mean conversion?

toby 01.12.2006 10:12 PM

i dunno, mike told me the single speed coupler does the same thing and has 4 bolts instead of two which is nice comfort when you have an XL motor

squeeforever 01.12.2006 11:00 PM

ah, i see what your saying. you want to use the coupler witht he stock case for added stability although if that were a concern i would go with the flm half case and single speed conversion. that should be enough strength.

also a lto more money, i do not have a job and had to save probably for 5 months or more for that list!

toby 01.13.2006 04:42 PM

i just understood your post when i read it, i read it that you ssaid buy the FLM case the entire thing, i never saw the half case. Would a Single Speed be Best for racing? and does it keep it in first or second?

captain harlock 01.13.2006 06:17 PM

You get constant engagement to the second gear. You will save some fifty grams, too. Some mods are needed to get everything in place. I'll get it along with my order.

alright, since i am racing should i get the chassis extension ket as well?

captain harlock 01.13.2006 07:10 PM

Chassis extension limits the chances of flipping and making unneeded wheelies. Its a good idea,imo for racing. You will gain enough control over the truck.

I have come to a hard decision

Save for the Victory Bulkless system or not. I want it and someone told me i need the 8 spider diff not the 6?

squeeforever 01.13.2006 11:21 PM

i would go with the flm. no offense but ue is overrated IMHO. the victory system is 3 times what the flm is! also, serum sold his vbs system and got the flm instead st that must say something. and yes, the 8 spyder would be a good investment over the 6 but if im not mistaken coolhand runs the 6 and a 2250 without any problems as of yet.

don't say that please, if you say that, i know for sure that you never had that stuff in your hand, or you don't know what you are talking about.

I thought that UE was overrated at first too, when i only had a savage and no UE parts. When you got a UE part in hand and an FLM, you can tell by the finish and details that the UE is superiour)

it is tough as possible. The word overrated makes it sound like you are able to have it machined yourself for 1/2 the price. (including the R&D)

please don't use the word overrated for the UE stuff. I may be your opinion that it is too expensive for RC parts, but some people are willing to invest, and biased on their quality/finish etc, it is topnotch stuff for a decent price.

BUT to be honest, the FLM 1/8th conversion is as good as possible, you don't need the VBS to be in the high quality zone. FLM covers the entire load. it is fair cheap, good quality and pretty darn tough too!


captain harlock 01.14.2006 07:27 AM

Well, I''ll go FLM, then.

toby 01.14.2006 09:18 AM

some guy told me that UE diffs do not fit in the FLM because only Mugen do or something like that?

captain harlock 01.14.2006 10:07 AM

Many people here are using 6 spyder diffs with FLM hybrids with no problems. MMdooley, Tambo and Coolhandcountry are among them. I guess Serum is using them in the Hybrids, as well. I'll be using them with the Hybrids, too.
