i was wondering what else i would need other than what i have.

do i need any other peices?

i figure this is what im missing.

flm conversion

center driveshafts
electronics

what else will i need?

heres the front end (rear end is the exact same condition and everything)

Honestly that gets you started. But its from a savage 25. It will for sure need a new driveline. A tranny

And I think thats about it

If you get the flm conversion, you get the centre shafts included...

that's a real nice truck joe - you'll have to get us some video mate! =)

t-maxx i would also get the 1 piece rear alloy hubs. That way you dont have to adjust the rear wheel and they track perfect. I had the stock just in alloy and i kept breaking my tie rod. Since i put the 1 piece hub on i have not had a problem at all. Was actually able to blow out some drive cups finally.

the 1 peice comes in that suspension upgrade?

yep that would be the piece i am talking about. Doesnt seem like it would make that bg of a diff but it does.

[t-maxxracer32]

i have that on my list of stuff to buy.

[bl-is-future]

yeah that kit is nice only thing i didnt like is you have to run 2 shocks in the front and i jump a lot so that was and issue so i bought the things i needed all separate. I tell you what though, i lowered it a little bit put a wing on and it handles SO GOOD. Tracks through the air damn near perfect and the COD is really low so it takes quite a bit to flip it on a turn. throttle flippage on the other hand is very common lol. I just got my power supply to charge my batteries so i will have to get a vid up.

[t-maxxracer32]

i plan on running single muggy/lst shocks on it. with the conversion kit will that be OK?

[bl-is-future]

yep just make sure you get the standoffs for them shocks so they don't rub. OR use 2 stand offs that come stock with the FLM kit. You get eight so you will have 2 for each side. That should give you enough clearance and save you some money.

[t-maxxracer32]

sweeett.

im really lookin forward to this build.

thanks bl

Hi guys,

Some update. I have finally managed to run this truck yesterday. WOW, I really like it ! Handled pretty well & jumped good too ! The sway bar the Nanda shocks are doing their job. Even the MMM also stayed in 1 piece. Managed to crack the magnet of the rotor though.

Regards,
Joe Ling
