Brow · **My Savage conversion -** 11.07.2011, 06:49 AM

Well I started this project about 3 months before HPI came out with the Flux. I have stuck with it and made a few changes along the way but it is actually running although not quite finished yet. The link is to photobucket, my computer is very slow dealing with it so 1 link to all photos.

While it started with me modifying the std XSS chassis, I ended up buying std flux chassis to make it easier to mount battery boxes.
I also got bullet proof front and rear ends off Linc with GH diff housings and Integy rear tie rod eliminator hubs - that meant another rebuild before I even got it going.
Short specs - Neu 1515 2Y (was going to go 10S or 12S), Lutach 6S ESC, Dimension Engineering BEC, ACE digital servo's, 2x 3S Polyquest 4500mah batts, EC5 connectors, std 2 speed with mech brakes.

I have plastic spur to go on, sway bars to fit, steering bearings to go in, sort out gearing - I don't know what the current gearing is apart from stock metal spur and a pinion I need to count the teeth on. Not real fast at the moment with the 2Y(1100kv) but I also have a Medusa 70mm (1600kv I think) that I might throw on.

The rest of it is stock XSS kit. I like the building part of the project which is why I got the kit to mod and did not go the Flux when it came out.

I should have got the 10S ESC from Lutach too. While I now know 6S is really my upper limit for the Savage, my 2Y motor and 10S would go nicely on a 2 speed dragster project waiting in the wings.

Thanks to Lutach and Linc for help with great value parts along the way

Thats all for now.
