So my brother and I have gotten into RC's over the last 2 years (my first was a Grasshopper when I was a youngster WAY back in the day. I picked up a 4908 in 09 and had a blast with it; driving and repairing from all my crashes. Since then I started to build a FLM extended chasis, but that was a slow and expensive proposition. Dealing with FLM was a horrible experience unfortunately and that build stalled. In the meanwhile, I picked up another used FLM chassis, but put it away. Kept finding great deals on other RC's. Got a jato 3.3 for $160 shipped (excellent condition), two Ofna LX1's for $200 (both rollers). Well my brother and I talked ourselves into a grudge race and agreed that we'd race monster trucks and 1/8 scale buggies. He picked up a Revo 3.3 that he's working on and I went through the many bins of acquired parts and pulled out the old FLM chasis. I had some free time this weekend so here's what I put together.
A-Arms - RPM (TrueTrack rear)
Air Filter - Motor Saver (HPI Savage)
Antenna Kit - Ofna 10140
Battery - Venom 1600
Brake - Revo Performance disc
Bulkheads - ACNCM
Bumpers - RPM
Chasis - FLM .21 Extended Chasis (old version)
Clutchbell - Axial AX0520 20T Vented
CVD's - FLM Front Drive Kit (FLM16055), 112mm dogbone
Differentials - E-Maxx
Drive Shafts - THS320
Engine - LRP Z.28R Spec III (ABmod)
Exhaust - Jammin JP-3
Fuel Tank - Ofna Violator 150cc
Receiver - Traxxas Link 2218 2.4GHz
Servos - HiTec HSR-5995TG (Steering) HS-5456MG (Throttle)
Shock Towers - UE Knucklehead
Shocks - Ofna LX One
Slipper - Traxxas 5352R
Slipper Pressure Plate - Traxxas 5351
Springs - Ofna
Spur Gear - Traxxas 3953 36-Tooth (1.0 pitch)
Throttle Linkage - Dynamite ProTune Kit
Tires - Proline Badlands
Transmitter - Traxxas Link 2238 2.4GHz
Wiring Harness - Traxas 3034
Wheels - Maximizer Beadlocks 1/2 Offset (1730)
I still need to work out gearing, springs, exhaust, and decide on a body. I don't know if I'm leaving it as a pullstart yet. I have a Tiger Drive S689 for it.
