Savage brushless conversion ... another one

[helms]

Concerning speed, I just can refer to BrianGs R/C calculations where I got 46 mph with my 11 pinion+46 main gear, but 11 is really minimum and everything stays really cool (really cold). There is enough power to gear up to .. maybe 14 or 15... but who wants to speed should take a 1515 1y. My setup is fast enough for me, and short gear makes a lot of fun on gravel roads :-)

Like Serum said, motor in front would be a better... now with the batteries (more or less in the middle) it got a bit heavy in the front. But this was the only solution to keep it compact and tiny. Mike announced a kit for the Savage but he is really busy and needs some more time.

Yes, maybe some extended arms (for christmas :-)... but more urgent will be a plastics or delrin spur, the pinion is getting weak already (nevertheles too much power :-))
