My new FLM Savage X SS

Did you have to do any mods to get the FLM center skid mounted?

Mine doesn't seem to fit and I'm not sure if it's the kit, or me missing a step.......

Nothing special on mine to get the center skid mounted. It's a little tight but it fits in there. Is it not fitting length or width wise?

Well, my Monsters finally showed up. It's kinda weird holding it in my hand. After waiting over 2 years for it I had actually given up on it ever coming out. Kinda like the DX3R. Too bad I'm still waiting on my Neu motor...

I soldered up the 6.5mm bullets and a Dean's plug for the battery and programmed it with no issues. The weight with connectors was 4.6oz which was only 0.6oz heavier than my MM with CCBEC with connectors. The footprint is only slightly larger too as you can see by the pics. Thanks to the internal BEC and fan I was also able to get rid of a y-harness and free up a port on my receiver. Overall everything looks much cleaner.

And I finally have 10awg wire to match my Neu battery. I should be able to run it today to see if there is any improvement. I'm running the exact same settings, motor and battery. What I'm hoping for is that the Monster gets rid of the cogging issues I was having.

On to the pics.

Since Castle was once again stingy with the stickers:


Castle: what's up with no stickers?!?! Don't you know they add horsepower?

I've made a few updates to my Savage.

XL super Heavy duty axles
Tekno Neu 1515/1Y
6s Trakpower (3packs in series)
Aftershock shocks w/aluminum caps
XL 52t spur gear

I haven't run it yet, but should get a chance this weekend.

Something's gonna break for sure!
