How's this going John? Just picked up a savage roller with TCS conversion to work on :D

Nick,
You'll love it. I just ordered paddles all around for my trip to the dunes of MI.

Can't wait. Only issue I had was my slipper burning up. Fixed that with a set-up from Kershaw Designs.

Nice! Are you using a steel spur or plastic? Are you still running the stock flux motor? I just posted a thread with my project.

Here you go...


Working with my buddy Dan from Kershaw Designs, he hooked me up with a Slipper bearing set up that is designed for high voltage RC's.

The set up is two washers with bearing in between. The key to the design is the concave washers on the outside that keep constant resistance on the bearings and nut.

I took it for a quick run last night and she is alive.

Steel spur and stock motor. Haven't had issues with heat. I see you are running wider tires. I'm running 5B Trenchers. The tread is harder and narrower but they are heavier than what you are running.

Yeah I run (or ran) the same KD thingamabob... just cinched it down tight.

Actually, that's just what came on the roller I got. I'm using the 5SC wheels and tires. Got halfway through putting them together on lunch break today. I'm hoping today to have the wheels and tires mounted on the roller so I can get an idea of track width.

You are going to need the 24mm hex adapters for the Baja Wheels...

Those are good, but they suck because of Savage axle design. Nick knows about my solution, since he did them for me, so I would highly suggest that. Yes you lose a tad bit of width, but its a much studier solution (I posted it in my thread about my 5T here at RCM). I went through at least four axles where I busted it at the end of the threads; rather expensive.

Oh crap, is this Chris?! How's it going man! I'm hoping to work on a newer design that'll give me more width......

thzero 06.21.2011 04:16 PM

Yes, and do my customization using the BAJA 24mm hex hubs that came with the 5SC.
