FLM trans forward conversion worth the money? - 04.12.2009, 07:09 PM

I can't make up my mind on what to do with my savage. I have been looking real hard at the Flm conversion but I am tring to get more input on it.It looks like a nice conversion, and I like how the battery sit inside the frame, but I would have to be careful to make sure the batts I buy would fit in there. For the guys that have the conversion are you happy with it?
Thanks

Hi, the only problem I've found is that most of 6S Lipo pack doesn't easily (if not at all) fit inside the chassis (the main problem for fitting is the ESC mount, that reduce the available space). At moment the only pack I can fit is that made of two 3S Lipo Zippy 3.500 Mah.

Despite this problem (not a big one, because I'm totaly satisfied using 5S Lipo - my motor are Neu 1515 2.200 rmp/volts and Medusa 80-2000), I found the FLM chassis extremely well done and having the weight moved in front is a real advantage while driving (no insane wheelie every time I give full throttle...)

Bye.

I think the rearward placing of the lipo puts too much weight in the back of the truck. I would prefer the tranny at the back, and the lipo in the front...

There is something thrilling about not being able to go full throttle
