Savage X conversion thread

[lincpimp]

Ok, look in my thread for the hv savage. That is about as cheap as a savage can be done. You can cut up an old emaxx chassis (my favorite) or pede chassis for the battery trays. I used a 60amp plane esc for 8s and a 14xl. All of my lipos cost about 110 bucks. Made the mount myself, but the kershaw mount may be your best bet as you motor is larger in diameter than what I used and it will not fit easily inside the tvps and still offer decent gearing options. I used the stock 2 speed, never had any issues with it. I did upgrade to the dual steel disk brakes, that was necessary. And the bellcrank mounted servo saver too, not sure if you have that, it is needed IMO.

Something like a turnigy 100 amp esc, pistix adapter and 4s lipo for your "death toaster" would be good. Hobby City is the best bet for the esc and lipo, and OSE sells the pistix, I think.
