FLM Forward Conversion Build

Good choice on forgetting about the reverse. I tend to find I don't get my savage stuck that often and when I do reverse wouldn't help. A flip me over device would be much more useful. You are right about the 3 speed being stronger then the 2 speed with the metal gears so it might be worth keeping especially with your huge motor.

Can't wait to see your truck in action. Post a video if you can.

I got my kit and the tires are not glued, so you should be good for the taping!

I also just acquired a motor adapter that will allow me to run one of my kb45xl motors in the savage. Looks like it will have a bit more power than the 9xl feigao! Hopefully I have good enough batteries to run the motor. I have a 5s 5000mah 20c lipo that will fit the chassis. Hope it works! If not I have another 8s lipo and a lower kv motor, so we will see!

Well my Savage X SS kit came in yesterday and I decided to do the 3 speed conversion. Lucky I did because one of the factory metal gears in the 2 speed was already missing a tooth. I've always been told its a good idea to go through your truck before you run it and now I know why. Other than that I am very impressed with the kit. I have never owned a savage and I am impressed by how beefy everything is.
