This instead of FLM conversion?

Hmm, where did you get that idea!

I will take some pics of the savage with the cen wheels when they come in, should be next week.

I was going to run a 14xl on 8s lipo thru a cchv85 esc. Now I just received the 36/38/2 aveox motor (1200kv) and I think I will use that instead. The mega should be a good motor for this application.

I will caution not going with any wider (diameter) of a motor than you need to. The motor diameter plays into how big of a battery you can fit. The 36mm can motors give you the most room. The neus and neus with fins give you less room.

will it be enough power?
i do admit i stole your idea, but it is such a good idea, i cant resist. btw, ill use the 3spd tranny, in case that brings any problems to mind.

Just an input to the NEM chassis conversion.

A major change should be also applied to the spur gear.

The Mod1 spur gears used in the Savage will not tolerate the force used to move a Savage that's 5" longer than the normal truck.

I believe the spur will get stripped under pressure in a very short while.

The SS Savages use steel spurs. Surely those wouldn't strip out. I assume you're referring to the plastic spurs?

ya know... ive heard people talk bad about steel spur steel pinion but i run it on my xt8 and LOVE it.

sure its a little louder but ive had so many times when the motor gets knocked loose and theres HORRIBLE mesh. but no strippage

i dont think ill go to plastic/steel or anything else.

well, heres what i got with 49/12 gearing (cant find a spur bigger than 49t for the savage x model, i will be buying the x ss kit w/o engine)

i always thought a 20lb truck at 55mph would be cool.... especially hearing it shift into 3rd..... mmmmm..... hopefully flip over wheelies in 1st.

[t-maxxracer32]

it may not actually do 55 thats just in theory.

if you do let it hit 55 please get a video of it crashing

[BL_RV0]

will do. what motor do you guys think the 45/2 is eqivelant to?

[tashpop]

the 22/45/2 is equal to badass. at least it seems so far in my build.

[BL_RV0]

already figured that out. but what high-end motor has around its performance?

Your joking... But I had my Savage clocked on GPS last summer at 52mph and it was very difficult to manage. I could see the crash at that speed being very spectacular.
