Savage X conversion thread

My question is about efficientcy. If the setup will run more efficient on higher voltage (cooler temps), there is no reason not to. It will only go as fast as I pull the trigger. Which means that any stripped gears are due to too much throttle. As Ryan would say, "No such thing as over-powered"

Leaning with 6s now, but would like to get a few more opinions first. To be honest, I wouldn't mind more runtime. Temps are the only issue. If I am not able to run through 7k plus on 4s without going into thermal, no reason IMO.

Tell that to your diff's..

very true.....

So Ben, what do you suggest? 4, 5s? I wasn't really considering 6s THAT overpowered. It is technically a "stock" setup. Also, what would you say about the efficientcy?

THe highest efficiency motor is nice. but doesnt make up for bad gearing choices etc and other things.. i say 4s and the cc2200... you will be suprised at how much power it has.

I am with you there Ben... I know you run 4s on your truggy. Granted it is a bit lighter I'm sure 4s would push it around fine.

I need to watch more 4s vids... i also sent a youtube guy (trxmh) a P.m. asking what he thought of his 4s and 6s setups.
