Definately not short on power, but not ideal driving conditions either by the looks of it.. :mdr:

Joram 04.06.2009 12:53 PM

Center-diff
 
I'm sitting here with a brand new Savage-X, an FLM kit, a center-diff and bulks from a Hyper7 and a selection of power options. I've been researching the same question myself, so far I haven't found a good configuration. I'm trying to get everything including a large 5s lipo inide the TVP's.

I'm hoping that the center diff option will work better than what I've seen of Savages so far.

I've really found this thread to be a bit discouraging as I watch you replace virtually every part on the Savage. I already have a Muggy that's proven to be pretty tough with no drivetrain problems despite enough power to do a wing-stand at any speed.

looks pretty tough. hopefully it works. i might have to get one of those too if the one you get works good. the motor i'm going to use is bigger than your savox motors. it is 45x77.

BitHed 04.07.2009 05:51 PM

...joram keep us posted on that spur you linked...doesnt look too bad...

...I am running a CD in my savage and it works great...I just keep 'munching' the spur at the end of the day...its weird...Its like my batteries 'die' and want to take the spur with them :D

Spoiler looks great! How did you install it? Did it take any modding, or was it a direct fit? What mounts did you use mainly.

Joram 04.10.2009 04:06 PM

A friend of mine made a mount for the spoiler.

Here are the pics:

Always Dreamin 04.10.2009 04:31 PM

Thanks. Unfortunately there is no way I could make one of those. I will look around for a pre-made mount i can buy. The wing sure looks good, and it looks like you didn't have to cut the body much either.

tonkabilly 04.10.2009 09:15 PM

If you are looking for a pre-made wing mount New Era sells one for the Savvage. Just installed mine. Works good.

Always Dreamin 04.10.2009 11:16 PM

Says it will require "some" cutting for the X towers. shouldn't be too big of a deal. Is your mount strong? Does it matter what wing you use?

tonkabilly 04.11.2009 10:38 AM

I will post a thread on the build and show pics of the wing shortly for you.

Always Dreamin 04.11.2009 12:57 PM

That would be great!

Joram 04.12.2009 04:17 PM

The car is sold people!

I have stopped with the RC scene, a scooter and real 1:1 car are for the future...

For the ones who like the Savöx 4570 motor, it is for sale!!!

Greetz,
Joram

Always Dreamin 04.12.2009 04:22 PM

What a shame... you had such a nice sav too... Is that motor 4570Kv or is that the model number? How would it do in a buggy?...i might be interested.

Joram 04.12.2009 04:49 PM

No, it stand for the measurres, 45mm diameter, 70mm lenght!

It is an 1800kv motor.

Price is $130 + shipping to US.

Joram

Always Dreamin 04.12.2009 05:15 PM

Ouch, going to have to pass. thanks for the offer.

scarletboa 04.18.2009 02:28 PM

why????

you put so much time and effort (and money) into this build and out of nowhere, you just sell it?

Joram 04.18.2009 02:33 PM

Not just selling it, i was thinking of selling it for weeks....

I want a scooter and with the truck that is not possible...

Greetz,

revo madnesss 09.23.2010 08:25 PM

sorry to dig a old thread up but do you think that mounting a center diff is possible?
thanks

Joram 09.24.2010 02:59 AM

This is possible.

You only need a piece of aluminium to bolt the diff onto the chassis, and the right lengt driveshafts.

do you think there is a possiblity of the pinion ot reaching the spur? obviously i will have to mod the motor mount but still

suicideneil 09.24.2010 08:51 AM

I'd be going with a custom center diff unit like Mike sells in the RC-M store, so the motor is bolted directly to the mount, not on a seperate plate or to the tvps etc..

revo madnesss 09.24.2010 08:56 AM

could you please link me to it, as i cant seem to find it
thanks

suicideneil 09.25.2010 04:23 PM

Shaz-zam:

Bolt that to a centerskid plate of something similar ( custom mounting plate ), and all you need then is the actual centerdiff to go into it & some dogbones/ driveshafts to fit.
