thanks to anyone that replys.

I replied in another thread, but ;

The motor you got is good, as for the esc it is a little on the danger side , but with a fan on it , i bet it would be fine.
Did you also get a UBEC for the controller?
How many cells are you running?
Already said this in the other thread to but welcome to the forums! Im sure you will enjoy it here. :)

yes i have a ubec and i am running 14 cells presently? and yes there will be a fan on the controller. thanks for the input is is greatly appreciated.

correction the controller is a 9920 not a 7020

Good. The 9920 is a much better choice. The 7020 would be on the small side.

XL motor wont fit. Go with an L sized motor. You could go with a 9 or 10L motor with MambaMax ECS and a UBEC.

jhautz · 01.10.2007, 12:51 AM

Really... An XL wont fit??? Now I know why people convert the nitro. You can fit whatever you want.

That seems like a HUGE design flaw to me.

Well...........when I say it wont fit......lets put it this way.

If you have a dremel, you can make it fit. Here, a picture will say it better.

I have a feeling we are going to start seeing alot of these E-Savage threads showing up.

jhautz · 01.10.2007, 01:38 AM

How long have you had it. How is it holding up. Are there alot of parts interchangable with the nitro savage? Like the E and T maxx parts?

hyperasus · 01.10.2007, 01:53 AM

Had it for three weeks now. I can hardly believe how well it’s holding up, dang thing hasn’t broke on me yet. This is the first and only savage I've owned so far so I have no idea how interchangeable the parts are with the nitro savage. Honestly, just buy a motor, ECS, and tires of your choice and drive the heck out of it. That’s what I did. I've had 2 E-maxx trucks and I can honestly say stock for stock, the E-Savage is ALOT tougher. I hate to say this. But traxxas better watch out. This thing is likely to really dip in to their rusty/pede and E-Maxx sales. Maybe this will force traxxas to stop playing around and release an E-maxx with the Revo style slipper.

jhautz · 01.10.2007, 02:00 AM

They can forget the emaxx upgrade IMO. Just release the e-revo. Thats what I want to see. Not that I'd get rid of the g2r or anything.

jhautz · 01.10.2007, 02:01 AM

can you post any more pictures of the motor mounts and the area around it. I can see what limits the motor length, but I cant tell if its easily removed without see whats areound it.

Is the e-savage smaller than the nitro savage?

01.10.2007, 02:55 AM

yes it is smaller and ligher

I agree. I've been waiting for electric Revo for years now. What is taking traxxas so long?

Heres a few more pics. I'll take a few upclose pics of the motor mount tomorrow when I can pull the spur cover off.
