Hi Chris..

Well..

You could get an BL conversion for your savage, i have got a brushless savage. (the only weak point to the older savages is that they don't use a double spidergear in the differentials). The diffhousings are allready prepared for this mod though..

Have you got an SS or an .21/.25? has it got the black dogbones or the silver types? (the black, non heavy duty dogbones are actually better than the heavy duty types)

The drivetrain of a savage is much tougher than an e-maxx.

When compared in price and hopups needed to get an equally strength with the e-maxx vs savage, the e-maxx will be more expensive. BUT in my opinion the emaxx is more suited for electric.. It took me a lot of time getting the savage looking the way i like it. which is clean.

I am working on a new type of motorplate as we speak for my BL savage. It will get a very low motormount, so the cg is as low as

So it all depends on you;

The e-maxx is nicer to see IMO than a savage. In my opinion i did a succesfull job on my own savage, but it takes A LOT of time. and a lot of time making the parts as well...

I am currently building up an emaxx as well, and i have to admit, the e-maxx is easier to maintain or to service.

What did went wrong on your savage?

If i see what my first savage went thru, and what i did with it, i can fully say it is one tough truck!

If your interested, here is the link to my savage.

In the mean time i sold my plettenberg and Schulze, and got a Feigao 7XL.
