5t savage project ponderings...

[thzero]

I only run 6S, but they handle it fine. Mine weights in about 17lbs. What I kept breaking was the axles.

As to motor, I'm swapping over to a 1520 with a center diff. Then again I'm only planning on 6S with mine.

Would definetly run the HD gears for the tranny. I had a lot of wear with the standard stuff and switched over and have had minimal wear thus far.

My current setup has a single 5S and 6S batteries (see my thread here for pics) inside the TVPs up front between the battery box and transmission. For the center diff conversion I'm switching to going with two 3S on each side to lower the CoG. The battery tray does need to setup rather high to allow clearance for the front dogbone.
