FLM Forward Conversion Build

that's odd.

With the old school slipper (not the dual setup) i had great succes with the spur/pinion. i dumped at least 50 gp3300 packs through 1 spur, before it started to worry about replacing. I use white-lightening on it, and a 18T pinion though. I can imagine a smaller pinion would cause wear sooner.

What motorplate where you using on yours? flex in that area is eating spurs.

The motor mount was solid. The motor was sitting flat on the stock nitro motor plate and had a motor mount that I made holding it all in place. The motor wasn't moving. (see attached picture, its the best one I had of it and its in pieces now.) I was pretty hard on that poor savage so it might just be me that is the problem. But if I continue to see this same thing after the chassis and motor mount change I'll try the steel spur. I still have a few of the plastic ones sitting in the parts bin so I might as well use them.

I actually think the old single pad slipper setup might be better. The dual friction pads on the X make the adjustment real touchy IMO. Its either slipping allot or not at all. There really isn't much middle ground. The older single pad style is probably more forgiving on the adjustment.
