lewisg Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Any reason guns you have gone for this type of project ie longer wheelbase and width rather than the conversion ibo is doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Cause The conversion Ibo ahs makes it too big, too slow, and doesnt turn basically. I Wanted something useable/bashable rather than WOW factor. Ibo's does look great though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisg Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 so basically your gonna make savage flux XL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 In a word yes. Maybe without the larger wheels and tyres. I've done the bling bling SAvage with my .21, (all aluminium, extended with alloy rims and Picco .26), and it was stupid, It got ruined. This one is purely functional, I believe the XL conversion will give me increased stability in cornering, and tame the wheelies. Win Win in my opinion. And I got the conversion kit for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisg Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 That conversion kit is that everything you need to convert it to a xl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisg Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Kl just got to decide which conversion i want to do XL or 5t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 there is always the Desert Boy 17 conversion you can do, its 2" longer than the XL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Do you actually want to use your Savage for bashing or just have something that looks cool? Ordered Integy Rear Hubs just too Edited January 22, 2011 by Guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Integy rear hubs are a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 I broke stock one but switched it round for todays bash. but now its raining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisg Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 well im planning on having 2, one standered HP so can do backflips etc and then one thats different ie xl or 5t! am i right in thinking the flux 2350 would be fine with a xl conversion but the motor wouldnt be good enough to handle the weight of the 5t?

Kpowell911 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm not entirely sure how much heavier the 5T is, but from ibo's pics, it looks like its enough to harm a HP let alone a 2350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisg Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 LOL well ill wait untill i see some vids of ibo and then decide but you say it cant turn that well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Everyone I know who has one has soon sold it or converted. They look awesome, but they have a huge turning circle, which really hurts the fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Wheels. Talk to me I want some wheels that will fit Proline Badlands, but arent 100% Offset. I Was set on alloy rims from SPI, but with XL adapters and 100% offset its going to be too wide Any recomendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
