HV Savage conversion - 05.29.2009, 12:13 AM

Hey Guys! I've been thinking how cool it would be to have a BL Savage. I have a roller right now because I sold all the old nitro crap. I am going to make it a HV setup using 8s lipo and an outrunner for a DD setup. I will be using a 80a plane ebay esc and a PiStix adapter, I am going to need suggestions on stuff like the motor mount and some kind of brake setup.

I'm short on money, so I am getting a $24 esc to start with. Its made by RC Hobbies and can do up to 8s lipo. Its also OPTO so I'm going to need a BEC. A BEC from RC Hobbies that can do up to 8s lipo is only $5.50. And then All I need is a PiStix adapter which are $18. So for the esc I am spending a total of about $47.50.

The motor is coming from HobbyCity. Its a Turnigy 50-65 270 kv. Its got a 8mm shaft so I can use RCM 8mm outerdrives. I think it should stay pretty cool on 8s because of its KV and the s lipo I am going to use.

THe batteries are also coming from HobbyCity. They are Rhino 3700mah 4s lipos. There 20-30c so they should be able to give the motor what it needs. I will use Losi 8ight E batteries trays. I have seen them use before and I like how they look and function.

Its going to be a slow build because of my money shortage, but I should be able to get it done. What are your inputs?

Here is links to some stuff:
