my mid tank build is slightly different then some of the 250cc mid tanks. i opted for a different radio box set up. I'm have the half way point right now awaiting the fuel tank, motor, and throttle linkage. aside from all this its nearly complete here is what i got so far.
parts
build begins, i painted the flm tvp's black.
trans, front and rear dog bones installed, there was alot of play in the two so the orings in the cups were a must here.
2 tank/chassis braces and servo/mounts installed
under side, both tvp's installed along with the engine plate.
bottom center skid installed.
the throttle servo, theres a 1/4 inch hole towards the front of the engine plate, i dremeled it alittle to make it larger so i could fit the servo wire through to make it much cleaner and less wires showing.
heres where most of the work and difference start with my mid tank build. i opted for a team losi xxxt radio box, its the perfect size to fit in the space behind the motor. i did some modifications so the on/off switch mounted to it along with the batt indicator light.
box before moding
after
had to take the corner out of the cover of the box since it was so close to the header, I'm going to use some heat tape on the corner along with wrap the header, should keep it from getting to hot and melting the box.
mounted the hump pack on the wing mount plate with some zip ties feed through fuel tubing to get a better hold on the pack
WHAT I GOT SO FAR
perfect width and length.
did some triming to the stock x body to work with the flm's, trimed the rear bumper and wheel wells so it didnt look stupid and so it would fit over the large lst's, had to make new body mount holes aswel.
thats what i got so far, one the tank gets here ill mount that and also come up with a throttle brake linkage set up. i have a few vids uploading of the build aswel and ill post when there done.
