Thank you for the feedback guys :)

I really dont want to place the motor in the "hight cg" position. So I'll order a 43t flux spur. Do you think the eZrun motor with heatsink/fan can fit the TVP's in flux style? It is a slightly fat lady

Good info about p/n 100905 - cheers!

Which ez run motor is it? The 36mm motors, or the big ole 44mm? You can take a cue from the flux and make a tvp for that side that has a "window" in it that will allow the motor to sit slightly outside of the tvp.

I did a savvy a while back (hv savage was the name of the thread, I think) and I managed to put a feigao lx can (36mm diameter motor) on a custom L bracket on the stock nitro engine plate and fit up to 18/47 gearing. That was with the stock tvps. It was a tight fit, but it worked well, I adjusted the mesh by sliding the L braket side to side as you would with the nitro engine.

Oi Kermit :)

Its the big 44... figured that if I should kick Nitro arse I might as well do it right. Guess it would have been viser to get a 36mm motor? :(

Or I could try to fit one of those Losi 8th center diffs... looks like an easy way to do the power transfer.

Ahh well... Im off for a weeks holiday... hope the HW combo has arrived once Im back... then I can see for myself whats possible and whats not

It does seem like I'll have a hard time fitting the fat HW motor with heatsink + fan in between the stock TVPs. Hmm... any reason why I cant add some spacers on each side of the tranny+front/rear diff housings? If I could move both TVPs 1cm "outwards" I should have enough room to make a tight fit... or?

Anyway... be back in a week with more questions or maybe some pictures of a fat Savage.

I saw someone make a fat savage before, looked ok. I would just make 1 tvp with a clearance window, but that would depend what tools you have at your disposal!
