FLM Tranny Forward Brushless Conversion (FLM49000)

[_dV]

Some Qs, thnx for any reply.

What are the battery tray area dimensions with the flux motor and ESC installed? If i built this i would really like to run a single 5s battery.

What is the distance from the base of the ESC to the rear shock tower? Wondering if it would get hit like the stock Flux setup.

What are the dimensions of the front tray area? Wondering if the ESC could be moved up there and if that would create more battery tray area.

Can the Flux spur gear gear cover be fitted?

Also, any jumping yet? How does it fly?

73mm / 2.87'' wide and 80mm 3.15'' long





But I doubt it would create more space because the motor is sticking out more then my battery tray (again with stock spur and pinion). For the weight distribution it is not needed and as you can see you would need some modding to get it to fit up front.

Not without mods. You could attach it to the handlebar somehow.

Well lots last sunday and it jumped really well. I will upload a 'raw' video today of some jumps (hopefully).

Sorry that it took this long.

EDIT: movie is online. Not the best because of the angle but it shows a bit.

Many thanks.

Btw i meant from the base of the ESC to the base of the shock tower. Since you have a ruler in the pic though i figured out that distance is around 45mm which is what it is on my Flux now. My ESC used to be about 40mm from the base of the tower and it would get hit and the wires damaged on the occasional bad landing. No damage since i moved it, though i haven't done that many runs yet.
