Nitroholic Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I was all set to do the same with one of my Savages, but I have had second thoughts. The conversion kit is around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlo888 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Graigbrown79, been told that they are truckzilla wheels with 40 series from the man who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigbrown79 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Will they fit on the stock axels?? They look great, looks like it's gong to be a wicked build! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreXeL Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Nice build, but are those wheels 14mm hex? I'd go with 17mm hex's TBH, the torque of a brushless will strip 14mm hex's in no time, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmst74 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Probably a stupid question but what diffs are you running? BP or alloy ones?? Looks good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlo888 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Well people.... I am near the stage where I will have to source the electrics Any recommendations for ESC?? I am guessing it will have to be 150a but which is the most value for money? Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpygramps Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 120a ESC would be fine, but the 150a Xerun is very good I reckon and not too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrorTrooper Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 im a great Advocate of the 150A Xerun ESC's. They are excellent and more than a match for the MMM's any day. Couple one of them with a good HPI rebadged Neu Motor and your laughing. They can be had for as low as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlo888 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks guys, any more choices or is it the Xerun esc then ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlo888 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 well, the build is on hold at the moment due to lost in post and NEW BABY DAUGHTER NUMBER 3!!! Will get back to the build when items arrive from post asap and when she is asleep..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmst74 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 If your budget can stretch, the tekin RX8 is a very good ESC. Probably wasted in a savage though with the levels of tunability. Or go all out and get an MGMOh and contrats on the nuevo arrival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlo888 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 update on process. Ended up with 2 fluxes half built so will try and complete one as a 'tester' and wait for the parts for the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlo888 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Update picture if anyone interested. a question, how loose should the spur gear be ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
