Noob question - difference between savage and savage xl ?


DUBZN1

Recommended Posts

I have a savage 25 that I want to convert to an XL and then flux it

I'm aware that the diffs will need up grading along with a few other parts

What is the difference between a savage and an XL ?

I've been informed its nothing to do with the arms

Can someone tell me the main differences ?

I'm also wanting to extend the hubs too

There's quite a few bits that are different, on the way from 25 to XL.. Apart from the TVP's being about 60mm longer, the bulkheads (now 'easy access', so you don't have to take the whole truck apart to get to the diffs), bumpers and most of the plastics have been updated. Drivetrain wise, there are Super Heavy Duty diff shafts, drive shafts and extended axles, plus a whole load of other bits which are up to taking more abuse.

 

HPI do a complete kit (part number 102534, about

So to get the XL stance , I need the XL axles ?

 

Yep, they add about an inch to the width. It's a good mod for the standard flux too, as it makes them that bit more stable. You need to have SHD driveshafts and diff cups as well, btw.
