Cheapest, Yet Speediest BL Combo for the E-Savage? - RC-Monster Forums

I'm not calling you a liar, but I gotta say the mm/5700 in an esavage sounds like running a mack truck with a ferrari motor.

If you want a good/cheap/fast set-up, I'd say do the following.

For the ESC, get in touch with Lutech and pick up his 6s or 10s. They seem to be doing well. (link)http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13659

For the motor, Id recommend the KB45 8xl. You may need to check your mounts, but if you can fit the 700HO, you can fit this (30mm mounting pattern)

For batteries, I recommend some zippy's

I'm not familiar with the e-savage, but if i rememer correctly, they have two battery compartments, one on each side. The zippy batteries run in a series for 6s should be good.

anyway, your lookin at under 200 for the ESC
120 in batteries and 55 for the motor.

about 375 is as cheap as you will get, and this system should be solid.

+1, I don't think you'll find a better setup for the money.

rawfuls- you write very well for being retarded, and I commend you for taking on this challenging hobby. I agree with the esc and battery choice that was mentioned, but the added hassle of the kb's size makes it a poor choice for a cheap easy setup, and is actually too much motor for a light e-savage. A feigao or comparable asian xl motor will be plenty to shred your drivetrain, and will mount right up to your e-savvy, and doesn't need oddball 6mm pinions

also a fair choice. Tho, suicideneil had his 9xl burn out kinda quick on him. I think the term he used was "spinning toaster of death".

I actually have a brand new one of these (HC 9xl) I have yet to find a project for.

I know others have used the kB45 with success in the e-revo, thats why I recommended it. Like I said, I'm not too familiar with the e-savage, so I'm unaware of their normal weight. I assumed about 12lbs

. The 6mm bore pinions can be bought at kershawdesigns.com.
If you do go with the 9xl, I recommend getting the RCM heatsink. Not just for offsetting the heat, but also because it has a bar on the end that will help keep the endbell in place. I have heard reports of the endbell screwing off, so the RCM heatsink should help prevent this.

i'd stick with a feigao motor, the hc I linked to was just cheap, and although the hc is cheaper, the feigao is still cheap when you consider the $400+ plettenberg big maxximum. the kb will work and will have way more than enough power, it just requires a new motor mount and 5mm is the preferred pinion size
