Movie and pics of my plettenberg powered savage
 

here is the movie,

I finally finished my skidplate, new motorplate and battery mounts.
Here you can see my new skidplate, i made it, because i had problems with keeping the center drivetrain clean.

(if you look closely, you can also see my new project, 'wheeliebar')

Because i wanted to get rid of the rear bumper, i made the hingepins so, that they are held in place by the skid, the hingepins for the upper plate are notched in and held in place with two M3 screws;

here is how my new battery holder works;
I made a plastic strip and placed it inside the heatshrink. There is velcro fastening that goes over that.

Fits in perfectly in these new, low CG holders;

Also made a new motorplate (needed a new one, because i sold my other motorplate with a savage to Froghn) I forgot to order the normal Nitro aluminium motorplate, so that's why i had to made the X, that's between the TVP's now.. Both are made from 10 mm thick aluminium
i needed a new place to hold my 18.97, in my opinion i don't need a fan anymore, because of the mechanical brake, and i placed the 18.97 in the airflow of the plettenberg.

And finally, i got an e-maxx, with 8 of these beautys on (ofna 9.5 shocks with piggybacks) using 4 on the savage, and 4 on my new e-maxx project

The emaxx came with this body; (and the wheels mounted) RPM titan rimms with Proline Mulcher tires

That truck rocks. What kind of run times are you getting with it?


And if the batteries die that dog is gonna catch and rip it to shreds too.:p

Runtime about 12 minutes, with much highspeed runs and a mechanical brake (that also makes a difference in runtime, because the most controllers store the energy from braking in the batteries again)

That's a pretty good run time. Seeing that makes me want to buy a Savage and convert it to brushless. I'm already planning to buy an SS kit. Nice job on it.:cool:

Cool Movie, I like the dog chasing your Savage.
It's really powerful isn't it with the BigMaxximum!

How many cells were you using in that video?

It is running on 16 cells (perhaps i should give it a go on 18 cells, but this is fast enough for me allready)

Yes it is very fast and powerful as seen on your video! heh

nice looking truck, didnt watch the video though cause i am on dial up and it would take forever.

Vid
 

sweet looking video - you should post that on the vid page also - I am contemplating that maxximum - Nice job on the truck and vid - keep em coming...

I am thinking about selling the 18.97 and the bigmaxximum with the motormount and the batterieholders.

Anybody interested?

That is an awesome truck. I have been planning on running a BL savage for a while now but it keeps getting put to the side so i can spoil my kids.

What are you asking for just the motor and controller?

What is a fair price to you?

I'll take a fair price for the motor mount and batt holders? make me a good deal. I don't even have a savage yet. lol I do have a 18.97 in a e-maxx and love it.

quick truck you got there
