It's Just Cam Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I recently became the proud owner of a 5sc flux and I've noticed spares are hard to come by. I heard that some Savage XL parts fit but I've no idea what and hope someone can point me in the right direction. At the moment I'm after diff cups and knuckles and haven't found any. Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Pretty much anything Savvy will fit, there's not much proprietary on it. Definitely fit Deletes to the rear! You'll need a high torque servo if that hasn't already been changed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Just Cam Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Thanks! That's reassuring to know. I noticed you had the aluminium knuckles on the rear of your 5SC, in fact I wanted to ask what they are? (savage xs?) I plan to get a new servo and motor on it because of the cooling issue, but for now it's just repairing the wear in the diffs and drive shafts. Pre-loved truck maintenance kind of thing, especially when it was running on exploded diff bearings for what looks like a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Integy Deletes, a must have for any Savvy. I'd consider binning the gearbox and getting a CD mount if you're planning on keeping it longterm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Just Cam Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 OK, I should probably build up the parts and go for a motor change and gearbox delete in one go. I need to give your threads a good read to decide on how low of kv to go. What are the essential changes/upgrades you would recommend for it?

Tug Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Avoid large motors, they tend to cause drive-train issues. I've found small motors with a low kv work well and don't cause excessive wear. That's if you bin off the gearbox. The gearbox is unique to the Super 5sc Flux, it has a much lower final drive ratio. If you keep the gearbox, swap out the 2200 for an 1800. The transfer gears ate themselves in mine and the parts cost was ridiculous, it was cheaper to go the CD route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Just Cam Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 I've seen the ALZA savage CD kit. Looks brilliant but what kind of kv would you recommend with that? Also, do you know if there are hexes that'll support Losi wheels? So, longer threaded shaft and slightly spaced in, since losi wheels have less positive offset than Hpi ones?

Tug Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Look for a 4092 can or similar, sub 1000kv. I run a 700kv and find it's fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Just Cam Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Thanks so much. Do you know what savage has the same dogbone stub axles (that aren't extra wide) but still take the 2mm pin of the 24mm hexes? I'm fitting losi wheels to mine because of the wealth of OEM and aftermarket part, so I need to move the hexes closer to the knuckles.

Tug Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Standard HD, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
