Converted my Savage to BL finally!

[Savage03]

Ok got the brake linkage setup, sure would like reverse without having to use the servo method, see some using ofna center diffs but guess have to wait for flm or someone to make mounts for us less crafty guys lol.
Castle is suppose to be shipping the monster max combo on the 10th the 2200 motor so if thats the case I will be running soon. Now what gearing should I start with? Keep in mind LST tires also. What pinion size does this motor take also?
Thanks

When the Savage Flux comes out you will be able to swap to it's tranny and then you will be able to use motor brakes and reverse.

I am getting the XL dog bones on my nitro savage and will see how they go. I currently have the black Mip CVDs on my brushless savage and they appear to be holding up.

My nitro savage is really good at destroying dog bones (even upgraded ones) so If the XLs can hold up that's what I'll put on the brushless if the cvds ever let go.

Yea as a nitro I can eat up dogbones, why I have a pit box with a bunch of spares but from what im reading bl is even harder on stuff. Really hoping the 3speed will hold up just love to hear the shifting. I went ahead and just bought 4 xl dogbones and the outer axles, just need the diff outdrives but I may just wait and grab the whole diff assemblies that guys sell on ebay.
Thinking about a metal spur to, opinions?
Thanks for the reply to.

Like to order a pinion gear soon so need some gearing suggestions and which pinions? See theirs a couple different kinds mod 1 and whatnot.

OK been at this for at least the last 2hrs now and im no where better off, new pinion and spur and ive tried setting it with different mesh and no matter where its set it makes this horrible sound, took a small clip so you can hear it.
Hope some of you will chime in not sure why I cant get replies, got the best place on the net far as im concerned for setting up BL stuff
I also pulled the motor away from the spur and it will roll just fine with no odd sounds just when the motor is meshed up to the spur. Thinking it was the pinions but I havnet got a real clear answer on that, I see most are using the metal spurs so not sure if I need that but I saw a couple say they are using the plastic ones so guess its possible.
I am at a loss at this point, hoping to run it tomorrow
