Tranny forward brushless conversion

[Codered3232]

Well I'm sorry to say that fast lane machine has discontinued the tranny forward brushless conversion kit. They got back with me through e-mail and said it's been gone for years. Think it's time to update the website. So if anyone knows how to make a brushless savage without the ugly battery boxes hanging off the side, please let me know. They really got me going with that kit and now I can't have it. I hate to say it but I'm this...close to going with a traxxas electric truck 🙁. Thanks in advance for the help.

If you read through some of the build threads you can see how some others have done their rigs.....

I used the flm ext. HD tvps on my conversion and relocated my steering servo and put my batteries on the servo plate like tweaked did works great!

[NightFlier X4.6]

Great help thanks again!

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

No problem

Great help thanks again!

No problem

I was able to locate most of the parts. I still not sure about the mounting of the steering servo. And the ESC mount that you used. I'm just glad your willing to help.

This looks like your servo plate

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

I made my esc mount and I relocated the steering servo. It's under the servo plate mounted to the inside of the tvp.

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

And yes that's the correct servo plate.

Cool, I have the parts on order. Should be here this weekend. Can't wait to get it going!! I'm sure I will need more help when I'm putting it together, do you mind if I keep bugging you

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

Not at all. happy to help!

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

What all did you order? Cause if you wanna relocate your steering servo like I did you'll need flm servo mount brackets.

Ok, I ordered the servo plate, new tvps and the motor mount. Good call on the mount brackets I'll get them coming. Do I just need 2?

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

Yes unless you use the to mount a homemade esc bracket. I used a aluminum cross bar for my esc bracket.

Ok it's en route. A really off topic question, if I want wheelies do you know a good bell spur combo

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

I'm funding stock Flux gearing and a savage x4.6 two speed tranny converted to single speed tranny and 6s liposuction wheelies no problem!

you are also going to need the server mounts if you plan on mounting the servo to the frameplate

Yes I ordered 2 of those. Should have most of my parts this weekend. What did you use to mount the sle motor

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

What did you use to mount the sle motor

?

 

[Codered3232]

?

I ment to say electric motor. I already purchased the Kershaw motor mount I hope it works

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

I had to drill two new holes in the lcg bracket and bolted it through the motor plate.
