brushless e savage

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.

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?

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.

why wont the xl motor fit?? everything looks fine. i have everything ripped apart now and i mounted it just by hand to see what it would look like and eveything lines up.

If it fits, then cool! As long as you have about 75mm from the mount to the obstruction, and you can route the wires to they aren't in the way, you should be all set.

I think the concern came from the fact that the Lehner basic motor he's using is 48mm long and had so little extra room. It only makes sense that a 74mm motor wouldn't fit unless the motor was mounted in such a way to keep the wires clear of the obstruction.

got the motor installed on the truck i had to do some trimming but it looks pretty clean.

I, too, would shell out my hard earned money for a factory E-Revo. Just in case there are any Traxxas employee lurkers out there... :-)

Hey Hyper, what led you to mount your ESC in the spare motor location, rather than placing it back on the stock ESC platform? And does the Castle ESC not come with an on/off switch? I noticed your toggle mounted into the battery connection...
