Savage XL-E

[Janezki]

Thanks for the link, doo540. Much appreciated!
Those CEN diffs do look mean.

I have no hurry in replacing the diffs yet, I'll wait until ppl have experiences from the Flux diffs and then have to compare which comes cheaper.
Also, the Kershaw tranny raises total gearing ratio, so with CEN diffs it gets even more taller - might be time to get lower kv motor.

Which I'm in need anyway atm - went for a little drive with friends on Sunday, but my Savage just didn't want to move - stuttering starts, not possible to give more than half throttle or esc cuts all power. I tried the motor without a load and MGM gave more throttle instead of braking, which had never happened before with this motor. We tried the motor in my friends' truck too and had the same results, so it's not MGM but Feigao which is toasted now...

Anyway, I ordered two of those KD36-74-15XL 1100kv motors from HobbyCity. They're a bit on the low side on kv, but hopefully I'll get over the wintertime with them. Together with 6S & Kershaw transmission they'll prolly be just fine and motor temps should be atleast tolerable.

Here's few pics with my friends' brushless trucks, eRevo & Hobao Hyper ST:





Oh, doo540 - You can find the secret for my well survived Savage body when you look at the ground at those pics.
