New FLM Brushless Motor Mount in the Nude

So it looks like you have to get a smooth can?

And also, hurry up and finish it!

Where the batterie goes on this frame Is they have enough room for a flighpower 5s pack??????

And how about the rigidity of this frame, this is a simple 6061-T6??????

BlackedOutREVO, a Neu finned will fit fine, you just might have to remove the rear motor support. My motor is not even resting on the rear support, it is just a few millimeters above it. I think the support is only there to help in extreme violent bouncing situations.
David, my Flightpower 6S packs fit fine in the frame. The frame itself is very, very rigid! I was suprised at how rigid it is for its length. It is 6061-T6 and almost 5mm thick. The whole kit is very well made and includes some surprising extras. Like a micro servo mount with appropriate frame holes, so that you can use the reverse module if you want! Bargain for $185.

You think it will clear the chassis? It looks like it wouldnt fit...

Are you going to use the 1521, or did you just test it in there?

I just got one of these kits a couple days ago as well. There are a zillion parts in the bag. I can hardly believe how many parts there are for the $185. I think it looks like a very nice deal as far as RC HopUps go. With all of these parts, the only thing I can think of that isn't in the bag, is an instruction sheet. With this many parts I can hardly believe there isn't one in there. At least an exploded assembly view or something. Sure would making figuring out what goes exactly where alot easier.

Unfortunately, right now I am traveling way too much for work that I doubt I am going to get much of a chance to do anything with it for the couple weeks. I'm only home on Saturdays and Sundays for the next few weeks and those days tend to get "filled" by the wife when they are the only 2 available. It's killing me just staring at it in the bag lookin all cool and shiny

A cool thing that I found out about this kit... When I opened it up I found a crap load of these little spacers/washers and I couldnt figure out what they were all supposed to be used for. I sent Mike a note asking him and he told me they were spacers to push one of the TVPs out a little to make more room for batteries if you need it. So I'm beting you can fit alot af batteries into this kit if you want to.

When I read that it was like a lignthning bolt.... I had been scratching my head over those little parts for a couple days trying to figure out what the hell they were for. I probably would have never figured it out either cuz I dont use reverse on mine.

It will fit BlackedOutREVO! The pictures do not show small spaces well, so it looks like there is less room than there really is. A finned 1515 will go in easily. Even a finned 1521 will fit. Yes, I use the 1521 in my Savage now with a homemade piece of junk mount. My whole setup is getting moved to this new chassis. It includes the 1521, an MGM 22418, 6S lipo and all three servos. I found a Hitec 65HB to use for reverse. Also, check out HPI's new hardened, machined ring and pinion (#86922). They just came out with it last month and it will be tested to the limits.
Serum, the countersunk holes are standard. All the screws are included in the kit and they are all class 12.9!
The only problems I see involve fitting a roll bar and body to this monster. Oh and I agree, a diagram would be nice to have. Shoot, here comes the wife, BYE.
