What do you get when you cross a Savage with a Twin Force and add some brushless?

nice.......any test runs yet?
|
lemme geuss, 9L? wow that looks awesome@!
|
Nice hybrid conversion! welcome to the forums. You will fit right in!
|
Thanks. I have run it quite a bit in the last couple of weeks. It is a 10L. I ordered a rc-monster heatsink/clamp today. I hope I can fit it in there. It will be tight for sure. I still need to make a permanent speed control bracket. I have been running with it zip tied around the motor. :)
|
Looks nice! Cool conversion!
I'm also a Force fan. I had a Savage on my workbench lately, to help a friend exchange a busted diff, and found out it's rather hard to work on a Savy, but it surely looks tuff. |
I don't know the Twin Force very well; is the center plate a modified TF piece? And are the battery holders from the TF as well? I am researching a probable Savage/brushless/li-po conversion, but may run 12-14 cells instead.

I fabricated all the aluminum parts. The plate is longer than the regular TF plate, narrower, and drilled differently to center up the dog bones between the chassis plates. The plastic battery trays are TF with custom mounting plates.
|
The heat sink should fit there no problem. I tried to keep it narrow to allow mountinng in smaller vehicles as well as larger ones (like touring cars). Judging by the pictures, it should fit no problem. I suppose we shall find out in a couple days!

I got the heatsink today. After I figure how I wanted to position it, I made my controller bracket. Since the heatsink fit so closely to the motor, I put some heatsink compound in the gap to increase heat transfer.

Nice Rob! I truly appreciate the custom work you put into this truck. I am somewhat of a tinkerer myself, so I love seeing other folks that take the hobby as serious as me! Great work! I especially like the heatsink! ;)
|
You managed to cancel the 18.97 i see?
|
Yeah, that is the other 9918 I had for my 1/8th buggy. My new one hasn't arrived yet.

I really love your design. Did it take long to make? Cost much? And does it hold up well?
