Hey guys.

New to this site. Got pointed in this direction as my current project consists of a Savage X SS being converted to brushless running a 1717 motor.

Some great pics here. Have run into a few things from research here. Like nitro tVP wont allow motor to fit. But I have an idea for that.

few questions I have. Do the flux run the motor in the front standard. Didnt think they did???
If not how did you do it? Was it simple to just turn trannsmission around or??

What gearing did you find to work well. Few people I have spoken to say they cant get the right gearing to load this motor up enough.

Any other tips you can give would be great.

Cheers
