 Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 7:32 am Post subject: FLM Extended TVP's |
 |
|
The guys at Fast Lane Machine were kind enough to let me test their prototype Flux HP extended chassis.
The TVP's are beautifully machined and look supurb. Everything has gone together fine with zero mods required.
Unfortunately I discovered a gearbox full of smashed teeth when I did the swap over so I havent run it yet.
I'll post again as soon as the new gears arrive.
With the cen diffs in my truck I have only been able to get about 95km/h out of it on the radar before it wrecks.
Can't wait to see what it will do with the extended chassis, 115km/h???
Check out the build pics.

Not 95kmph with those tires right?
The TVP's look good, but it's a shame that you can't put the LiPo's inside! |

Same length as the Savage XL that's why they can use the same rear drive shaft. |

any body made for LST,MGT,SavXL,E-revo ect will fit without hassles people have been using these bodys on there ext nitros for years
also an ext chassis combined with some LCG towers allows you to use many makes of truggy bodys without much hassle. |

I ran it down the local park the other day, massive ashphalt area plus grass oval.
Had a lot of fun.
I put the small pinion on it plus some phatlines to see if it would backflip on the tar.
She puts the power down very well now and only flipped twice in half hour of screeming around.
I'm looking for brushless revo's now because i reckon it will slay them.
Out on the grass it was heaps more stable and forgiving.
I just had a good bashing session and wasn't constantly walking over to flip the truck back over.
I've telling people it's fun doing backflips for a couple of months but then you want to actually drive the truck.
As for bodies, I've fit Proline Baja Beetle, hummer (just), F650 and Dodge Ram. (I have tons of bodies). |

| Sweet! Where do I buy them? I see the page on FLM's site, but I don't see an Add to Cart option anywhere. I also looked on RC Monster but didn't see them for sale there either... |
