Electric Savage - 06.23.2005, 02:39 PM

Guys,
I am gonna go with the Savage option for now, to gain some more knowledge and experience before going too big and wasting alot of money on the larger Genesis.
Serum, on your electric Savage did you use a conversion kit for mounting the motor?? I found this one

also did you stick with the 2 speed transmission?? and added the heavy duty second gear?? I didn't think I heard your transmission shifting do you run 2nd only?? What other drive train mods did you have to make?? diffs? brakes? dogbones? what motor/esc combination do you recomend?? would voltages and lipo configs would you recomend?? I have looked around for some stronger differentials (like a 6 or 8 spider set up) for the Savage and haven't found any. Also should I look for aluminum diff housings??? Also no sign of a tranny upgrade to a sigle speed or anything thing like the Maxx's.
I am not sure if alot of the hop ups that are on the market for the nitro savage are applicable for the electric one. How far do you need to take the strengthening process??? is diffs, gears, cv's, tranny gears, enough?? or will I also want diff housings, bulkheads, chassis bracing, wheel hubs,and wheel side diff cups??

If you could point me to some links for places or parts that you have had good luck with, that would be great.

Thanks
