Thanks whats nitro... i think i will leave it unless i find something else... but not desperate.
I hope to have this badboy up and running by the weekend!!! Im dying to run it properly!
The last few things on their way at the moment are:
Wheel Nuts
18t mod1 pinion
47t steel spur
my charging adaptor for the hyperions too...
Thats all that needs to be done really...
I dont have anything else to do???
Guys seriously... this truck is finished for the time being... What do i do?
Do i begin building a second savage now?
I know exactly what ideas i have for my next build ..... and possible changes to my current one.....
Ok after being around here for the last few months... i have now realised that i have made a few mistakes with buying the tvps i had bought. Although i do love them as the handling is ridiculous... tames all those wheelies and puts the power too the ground... its just that bit too heavy for big top speed... but we will get back to the current savage furthur down....
So my next savage is going to be utilise an ext PRC lcg chassis which will use my current Neu 1520 motor and geared for around 40 on 5s (no 6s here, light weight batteries ftw) PLENTY OF CARBON PARTS - I will be using this for racing (found a track near me), and hard bashing (depending on what shocks i put on it)
Back to my custom OVERKILL Plans
As for my current XXL Savage... i am going to create a speed machine/shelfqueen out of it. It wont be used to bash hard... it will be used to cover huge spaces in no time at all.
It will still be kept as light as possible for what it is
I have plans for an overkill setup for the large wheel base and wide footprint...
I have decided on:
- Two torque 2200 and 2 MMM powering this thing. OVERKILL I KNOW but for a heavier car... splitting the weight over two Motors should help take the strain away from oneand allow me to gear high without heating issues
I have been emailing dan at karshaw regarding motor mounts for twin setups. (as most of these mounts require you to mount motors up high in the chassis above the spur gear... this will no longer be safe to do jumps with (worried about ripping the motors from their mounts on landings)) I hope i will be able to make these mounts work with the reverse tranny and forward mounting on my DB-17 chassis.......
Any of these motor mounts work with torq2200 motors?

Batteries will be mounted on the inside of the chassis and outside utilising the original battery boxes. two sets of 6s
should be awesome!
Anyway i see how this all goes... I just want to run my current truck at the moment and have some fun!
I know exactly what i am going to do with my lightweight race savage but more help will be needed with this twin motor savage. Your ideas are most welcome!
