First FLM Experience

[MaxxFusion]

My first FLM parts arrived yesterday and I must say WOW. Everything is packaged very nicely and seperated in the package.

Here is a pic of the parts I recieved for my rusty.



I hope to start putting things together this weekend. Then I am just waiting for FLM to release the chassis and tranny case. When I am done I have a SS5800 to through in. I may want to upgrade to a Feigao motor later.

Here is a pic of my rusty as of now.



I am going with the extended arm conversion kit. I already have the sebs wide conversion done using the RPM Losi arms in the front and run Nitro front wheels all around. I havent opened the package yet but when holding the arms next to the truck the front arms are a perfect match to the Losi arms i am currently running but the shock positions match up better to the stock arms. The rear arms are a little long than stock. I wont know for sure until I get the truck apart to see how much. The arm conversion kit comes with all neccessary mounting hardware and even comes with turnbuckles. These are arms are very beefy.

I want to get the weights of these new items compared to stock. All of the parts feel very comparable to the stock weight. I will report back when I have finished.

I started tearing down my rusty and got the frontend built. Here is a pic.



I was also able to get some weights on the FLM parts.

Stock Parts
===================
Bulkhead 26g
Front Tower 14g
Rear Tower Not known yet
Front Ext Arms 16g (Losi RPM)
Rear Ext Arms Not know yet

Fastlane Parts
=====================
Bulkhead 42g
Front Tower 24g
Rear Tower 38g
Front Ext Arms 22g
Rear Ext Arms 26g

Looks great! So the # on the left is the aluminum weight?

Thank You

I updated the weight list so its easier to read.

Thanx, much easier to read. Well my lot of FLM parts (used, from phildog) came today, very nice stuff. For some reason the pins I bought that was on Misbeahin's site for the rear arms do not fit. They are to short by a very little bit, I tryed different pins (same size) and even tried using the other a-arm. I guess I will take it to the hobby shop and see what they have.

Would you mind telling me exactly what parts I need for the widen conversion? I know I need a set of front rims, and the FLM extended arms, but what else.

Thank You

Well if you buy these they come with 6 turnbuckles and all the correct pins.

Fastlane Extended Arm Conversion

Thanx, I got the answer, though.

What I ment is I bought a lot of FLM parts (extended arms) and they are to short.

Should of made it clear, sorry.
