Black Savy's Mid tank

[Hypnotiq]

For the Black savage i did the following for my mid tank.

FLM EXT TVPS anodized black
FLM Servo mount
FLM Servo Plate
HB D8 150cc tank
Blk RPM Box

Its about 90% done.. need to slap on the RPM box and go and get some linkage. Ill have all this done the day of or after Christmas. I also need to find a decent Ace Servo horn for my steering.







Ill get some better pictures i swear this weekend or tomorrow.

What do you think?

BETTER PICS AS PROMISED!









Internals of the Hot Bodies D8 "clunk tank".. had a few members intrested in the tank so figured id take a pic of the clunker itself.

Lookin good bud! But it will look even beter when that picco is sitting in there 🙂 Yeah it's come a long way, good job!

Guessing you turned the pickup on the tank to the front so you don't have to cut a huge hole out of the body for fill ups?

Looks good man! Can you squeeze the RPM box next to that tank or do you have to put it outside the TVP's?

Love the FLM.. i can't believe how lite they are.. They look sexy to.. Yes picco is coming VERY soon. Rush box.. need to find dimensions to see if my hump fits.


One and only problem i ran into was making the FLM motor mount work.. I was to thick IMO. Frddy's hopefully hooking up the fix for this.

[Hypnotiq]

Thank you bank... I tried two different linkage setups and this is the only one that worked. Feels great can't wait to toss the RPM box on tomorrow and give her a test run!

Better pics to come tomorrow!

 

[frddyj]

jr, 3 adjustments will rock your linkage:
1. flip your top slider so the linkage rod is 90 degrees to the throttle mixer (swivel).
2. put washers on both sides of both sliders (lmk if you need some & a longer bolt)
3. put a bend in the shaft that connects ur linkage-rod to the brake-cam; you'll get "endo" quality braking power (also shorten the length og your brake linkage rod so it don't rob the torque from your servo).

Thank you farm! yahoo me foo...where u been?
