Total cost of BL Conversion
 
All in all, how much will it cost me to convert the savage to brushless?

Motor/ESC
Batteries
Chassis
Charger
Other stuff

lets say that I want comparable performance to what I have now, savage x

$400, $500, $600?

Well, that depends on your taste and your budget. The motor esc combo could run you $ 300-+ depending on your taste. GOOD batts can run $100- + for 2s up to $250- each for a 4s battery.

A lot has to do w/your desired set up. I could speculate all day, but w/out knowing what exactly you want or need, it is hard to say.

A brushless conversion on a whole w/a couple sets of batts, esc, motor is EASILY $600- +. And the price will go up from there w/ better batteries. DON'T skimp on your batteries...

As far as chargers go, the Hyperion line is excellent...particularly the duo.

Just to give you and idea of prices....
