Hay Fast5sRevo88..
Absolutely no drilling was required for me, but then again I was centered, where you will not be, the stock 3905 RX box lined up perfectly with the existing holes on the FLM chassis. Looking at my rig and knowing what you about to do you will have to drill one hole or you can simple use a thin piece of Plexiglas to cover the servo hole on the right side and then drill two holes (the same as the existing RX box) through the Plexiglas! The entire process should take you all of 20 minutes (piece of cake).. No worries..

Hope that helps?

Have a great one..

Oops!, sorry i didn't specify, i meant for the RCM-FLM tranny mounts going on the G3.

OOOoooo.. it would help if had known that’s what you meant (me bad)..

First you will need the FLM 10600 trany adapter on the transmission and review your placement options. Two options are available (front or rear), I chose the rear so wouldn’t encroach on the front servo plate.

Then you should run a screw on both side of the transmission through the frame rails. These screw will work on the back front hole. (IE) the transmission holes are (4) total on each side and they are broken up in sets of two with the divider in the middle so the only original screw hole that will work in the back set / front hole.

Then you will need to enlarge two of the existing holes per chasis rail, I ran mine in rear back and front back holes. The front / front hole doesn’t work with the transmission adapter on each side of the frame rails, I found that the dermal works best for this. (you do know that you can only use a total of (6) screws?)

GO SLOW and for god sakes man!! don’t drink or (whatever) before attempting this rail fabrication!! But one you successfully completed this fabrication then by all means feel free to indulge in the finest brain cell killers money (and the law “wink, wink” will allow..

You will also need buy longer transmission screws and washers for them… the screw size is 20-25mmL (I think??) your call..

That about it (simple haaaa)

Hope that helps??

Have a great one..

So how is your conversion coming Fast5sREVO88?? Any updates for the team??.

Thanks for your time and have a great one..

Well, that conversion got side-lined for now, at the race the other night my G3Revo blew a diff or so i thought, it turned out the center front shaft came loose, it was dark at the race so i couldn't see that the pin was missing, anyway, i also broke a rear plastic shaft on it, so i'm having to do an emergency CVD-section. My stepdad also wants to start racing after he saw the race; first timer, so i have to get my X1-CRT BL-ed and ready to race so that he can run the Revo

Wow thats a switch. It is usually the fathers trying to get their kids into the hobby, and here you are helping your stepdad acquire the addiction. He does know that it is an addiction right? There is no 12 step program to help kick the habbit either. Once your in there goes your extra play money and maybe even some of your bill money. What a great way to bond with your family though, but to get the whole family involved in BL racing. Way to go Revo88.

Yea Jerry, its a switch. Up until the race he didn't understand why i spent so much time working on my trucks. TDC, u can use the center driveshafts, but was u able to use the traxxas outer drive steel CVDs?

I'm afraid not this time, I'm going to let him practice with my mini Raminator before i hand over one of my million-dollar trucks.

Hey guys, would this adaptor plate work with my FLM EXT-maxx chassis? I would love to convert the T but dont want to spend a fortune on it! $17 for the adaptor and a 3905 tranny would be well within budget!

This adaptor was actually specifically designed for the FLM chassis.
