I haven't ordered mine cause I don't know wyhat I need to get with it. I also don't want to do more then one order either cause mike ships via expensive mail.

Just started my build and wanted to let people know that a Neu 1521 will fit. Just add a frame spacer under the 4 motor mount bolts and it will lift the motor high enough to clear the rear part of the frame. And of course some Dremel work on the front mount for the 4mm screws the Neu uses.

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.

Can you please get some more pics of it knotted?

the low res pics that i found here and on the FLM site don't do it any justice IMO.

the dogbones; are they silver or black?

Thanks.

What 6S pack are you using? (mAh?)

[MTBikerTim]

That is pretty cool about the reverse. I wouldn't use it but it was mentioned in this thread. Looks like they took the comment and worked on it. Great work FLM. Can't wait to order mine.

Serum, I will post some photos on photobucket later today. The wife is mad that I'm spending so much time on "those stupid trucks". So, I'll bite the bullet and go shopping with her today.
The 6S is a 5000mAh and it fits. I didn't think it would but it goes right in! The dogbones are black and the long one is very thick, looks like it will hold up well.
The kit also comes with an ESC mount and a brake/steering mount plate. Can't wait to get back to it after the day of shopping (sigh).

OK, managed to sneak in some photos:

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?

These countersunk holes on the sides of the TVP's, are they standard?

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.

Standard? They look stnadard, but I'm not sure what you mean.

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.
