Hmm, where did you get that idea!

I will take some pics of the savage with the cen wheels when they come in, should be next week.

I was going to run a 14xl on 8s lipo thru a cchv85 esc. Now I just received the 36/38/2 aveox motor (1200kv) and I think I will use that instead. The mega should be a good motor for this application.

I will caution not going with any wider (diameter) of a motor than you need to. The motor diameter plays into how big of a battery you can fit. The 36mm can motors give you the most room. The neus and neus with fins give you less room.

will it be enough power?
i do admit i stole your idea, but it is such a good idea, i cant resist. btw, ill use the 3spd tranny, in case that brings any problems to mind.

Just an input to the NEM chassis conversion.

A major change should be also applied to the spur gear.

The Mod1 spur gears used in the Savage will not tolerate the force used to move a Savage that's 5" longer than the normal truck.

I believe the spur will get stripped under pressure in a very short while.

The SS Savages use steel spurs. Surely those wouldn't strip out. I assume you're referring to the plastic spurs?

ya know... ive heard people talk bad about steel spur steel pinion but i run it on my xt8 and LOVE it.

sure its a little louder but ive had so many times when the motor gets knocked loose and theres HORRIBLE mesh. but no strippage:intello:

i dont think ill go to plastic/steel or anything else.

well, heres what i got with 49/12 gearing (cant find a spur bigger than 49t for the savage x model, i will be buying the x ss kit w/o engine)

i always thought a 20lb truck at 55mph would be cool.... especially hearing it shift into 3rd..... mmmmm..... hopefully flip over wheelies in 1st.

it may not actually do 55 thats just in theory.

if you do let it hit 55 please get a video of it crashing:lol::lol:

will do. what motor do you guys think the 45/2 is eqivelant to?

the 22/45/2 is equal to badass. at least it seems so far in my build.

already figured that out. :lol: but what high-end motor has around its performance?

Your joking... But I had my Savage clocked on GPS last summer at 52mph and it was very difficult to manage. I could see the crash at that speed being very spectacular.:oh:
