1717 in a Desert Boy Chassis, It can be done !

[Bondonutz]

I had to do a bit of modding to get the sway kit to work w/the FLM bulks but it can be done with some patience and a 3mm drill&tap.

As you see I trimmed the front of the bulkhead down with a dremel wheel and hand file. I mocked the sway bar stay and marked holes, drilled and tapped.



Iwas able to use the little caps that are supposed to retain the upper arm pins, this took some modding also. I had to trim some plastic on 3 areas of the cap but it looks like It's supposed to after installation.








Just need to do the rear sway now, I hope this is the last of the stuff I have to do to this thing far as mods. Ben tinkering on and off for almost a week again and getting anxious to drive this thing. I also hope(I am somewhat confident) that the sways will aid the handleing quit a bit but we'll see I reckon ?

Doh, Just remembered I found some Proline 23mm 40series 1/2offsets that I have coming. I need to drill holes in the face of the velocity rims and then dye Black and install the tires. Not sure what I'm gonna use, probably the Losi ATX's. I know they are fairly common but they are a great tires for all around traction and durable. I may snipe them for more tread flex and better grip. I'll see how ambitous I am when they mounted ?

FLM really needs to update their machining for the Savage bulkheads so that it works with the introduced swaybar kit.

Have fun with the crappy 23mm ProLine hubs... I destroyed like 4 of them within a span of a couple weeks. Much rather stick with the 17mm standard hubs (or go with the 24mm HPI hubs).
