Everyones been very quiet on it, Tim. Jamie and Mike aren't even answering e-mails on it. I hope the project didn't fall through, especially Mike's center diff conversion.

I will speak up here.

The reality is that it's the middle of the Holiday rush for all of these guys and they probably don't have a free second to answer questions about a product that probably won't be out until next year.

While talking with Jamie on a FLM Savage article I am doing, he mentioned that that my above posted picture was a minimal investment for new and existing customers. The new solution would require two new chassis plates and a few other parts - in essence it will be a much more expensive solution.

On the Center Diff conversion, that it slick, but could again be a more expensive option.

The real question is how much would you pay for either of those options over the regular conversion as posted?

My weight distribution on the posted conversion is really pretty good with a slightly rearward CG when loaded with a motor and dual A123 4600 packs. I just don't think it's going to be that much better. I would say if I was to pick what Jamie worked on next it would be a Center Diff kit not the other front mounted transmission option.
