Ok so that's it for now.
I'm waiting on a flux screw kit (all the stock screws) mainly for the bumpers, skid plates stuff like that. The MMM Combo will be here next week. In the pictures i didn't even mount the big bores ill get around to it.

The PRC wont be any time soon, might be able to pick it up with the cash from my tax return

Thanks for the kind words Fred.
Yup they look pretty sweet, they might be replaced for PRC in a few months.
and yes once the funds come in ill be getting the extended motor mount, servo plate and ext tvps.

Looking good brandon .:rock1:

Thanks

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

What does the esc mount do Frddyj?

The extended motor mount allows you to mount the esc behind the motor instead of the stock place above the motor on that little plastic perch.

 

[Aaro]

Brandon, would the prc motor plate work with the flm tvps?

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Brandon, would the prc motor plate work with the flm tvps?

Are they flux tvps or nitro ?

 

[Aaro]

Hypothetically speaking? Yours are the flux correct?

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

yes mine are the flmflux xl tvps.
If you have the nitro flm tvps you would want this one

PRC110 - http://www.platinumrcproducts.com/prc 110.html

 

[frddyj]

Brandon, would the prc motor plate work with the flm tvps?

if the flm tvps are xl length (and i think they are) you can get the prc extended motor plate. its extra long and you can simply wire tie your esc to it behind the motor like bank did.

i have the ext prc's so i didnt have the length back there to fit the esc so i used a flm cross brace and bolted to it. came out kick butt & very well protected back there.

using the ext motor plate back there is about a zillion times easier.

Fred can you post a pic of your esc set up ?
I'm curious on how do you did it.

 

[Aaro]

The extended prc's were just not designed for the extended motor plate?

The extended motor mount is for the flux (not sure if you knew that) but i does fit

PRC192 - http://platinumrcproducts.com/prc 192.html
and
PRC205 - http://platinumrcproducts.com/prc 205.html

 

[Aaro]

Yes Brandon I am speaking about flux upgrading.

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Yes Brandon I am speaking about flux upgrading.

oh ok.
yeah so the extended motor mount works with PRC192 and PRC205.

 

[Aaro]

Like yourself, at this point I can not afford all the prc so I thought that motor plate might work well with the flm xl tvps?

Yeah if you have the extended flm flux tvps or the xl flux tvps the motor mount will work just fine.

Update Time

UPDATE TIME !

ok guys i wrenched on the savy a little more. Nothing big, mounted the big bores, mounted the receiver box, and made a PVC stand


• Aluminum Big Bores

• Front shocks mounted

• Mounted the shock on the outside of the groove

• Used a M3x20mm and 3M lock nut

• All done

• Believe it or not i didn't even fill the big bores yet

• Marked the holes for the receiver box

• Drilled them out with a 2.5mm bit

• Tapping the hole out to 3mm

• Mounted

• How it's mounted M3x15mm button head

• Did the battery box mod, just need some fuel tubing to go around the inside

• Got the stuff to make the PVC stand (they only has 3/4" PVC so i got that. Total came to $12 and i got the PVC cutters for $25

• Cut the pieces to size

• Fits good

• Masked off the parts i was going to paint red

• But it was going to be a pain in the arse to mask the black off and paint the white red so i painted it all Black

• and to finish it off here is the difference between using a pipe cutter and using a PVC cutter

Hopefully ill have the MMM tomorrow. and i have to get a hold of Kevin (kvnnets) to get his RSC

Looking good brandon keep up the good work .

Thanks tallone.

and i forgot to mention the truck only weighs 11.75 LB with the packs and without the motor and esc.

 

[TripleSix]

Looks good brandon. Keep us updated once you get the esc and motor. Where are you gonna mount the esc?

 

[frddyj]

looking good the kidd. whats your plan time to complete?

the motor, esc & weight really jack up the weight. i was surprised on mine.
:iamfrddyj:

Thanks Jeff.
The esc will be in the stock location for now. When the funds allow me i will pick up the prc ext motor plate to mount the esc behind the motor.

:iamfrddyj:

Thanks Fred.
When i started the build i said by spring, winter isn't even over and i have 90% of it done. Yea i'm saying around 13 LB by the end with motor and esc.

 

[texasavage]

Looking good Brandon!

Do you have any pics of the clearance on the shock and upper a arm?
Did you use the stock mounting on the tup of the shock? I can't really tell in the pics.

You must have a good pvc cutter, with the one I got from Home Depot I get a squarer cut with my hacksaw.

Keep it coming bud!

[fluxinator]
