New FLM Brushless Motor Mount in the Nude

David, I am going to run a neu 1515 1/y on 4s in my savage with the 3 speed. Mine should weigh about 12lbs at a guess. I pretty sure that the 1515 1/y will stay cool, geared for 60mph in my revo(only radar-ed in at 55mph) it never got over 130*f, cant say the same for the batteries though!

My chassis should be here tomorrow, I cant wait!!!!!!

Bye

I dont think I could do 6s.... I would just want to run 5s, what MGM fits that bill? Maybe 6s if the MGM can do it, I dont want the most expensive one, just something for 5s really....... But then again, a savvy on 6s must be nuts!

Id love to do a savvy with a 1521, and that motor must run ice cold!

Damn, you guys better leave a chassis for me . Mike says he has heaps though. I can't wait to get mine. What are people going to be running in the way of pinions? Note that there are 47t 49t and 52t spurs available.

I know that the savage diffs is suppose to be stronger than the revo, but for the tranny itself, do you think that savage trany is more durable than revo one?

From what my buddy at the lhs tells me the only thing that breaks on a savage is the reverse (gears and actuator?) and the shock shafts will bend with a hard hit. I guess since they are so long, they bend easier than other types. Other than that the new shimmed diffs and other mods make the new savage the best one yet.

I have never had any problems with my savage tranny. I have a metal gear 3 speed though. Only 1st gear is plastic but the whole thing looks brand new after a lot of abuse. The plastic second in the 2 speed I have heard can strip but that is probably due to the slipper being set too tight. Second engages pretty hard and the slipper I think needs to have a bit of give for this especially with a big torquey brushless motor.

Good to know Tim, I want to leave the stock ss kit 2 speed if at all possible. I will set the slipper slightly loose. I killed the shift clutch? in my revo, it used to shift really hard into second, and then stopped. I rebuilt the tranny with a wide ratio gearset and a new shift clutch. I have not had a chance to test it yet, but I will set the slipper looser now, and see if it helps.

The trick is to set the slipper still tight enough that it doesn't melt as well. I almost melted mine when I put my LRP .28 in. I would set it just a 1/4 of a turn back from tight and just check that it is not getting too hot.

I really want to do a savvy, I sure wish I had some $$$

But more people are using the 2/3 speed then I thought, I think it would be fun to have a BL sav with a 3sp, watching it really lurch forward when it shifts would be funny!

Hi guys,

You are really tempting me with this conversion. I've always been a little unsatisfied with my homemade conversion because the battery trays are outside the TVP & looks ugly. This is surely more elegant & pretty. OK I'm in. Hi Mike, gonna have to shoot u an email !

Regards,
Joe Ling

PS : a belated Happy New Year to all !

Damn this kit looks VERY nice!!!

I think it's just what my savage needs that has been sitting for 2+ years now....

Just not sure on what motor. Either go for a elcheapo Ammo Great Plains 1800 or 2600 motor with MM or get a 8XL or 9XL...

Well guys, wheres the pics?????

I know atleast 3 people have the kits

[generalg]

Looking at this conversion kit again before I buy it..... :D

Wondering why the use of the stock tranny is still used? Why not use a 1/8 diff instead of the tranny? Or is that even a possibility with this kit perhaps later down the road?

Money's burning a whole in my pocket for this conersion kit...

Hi guys,

Just paypaled Mike for one of these. I'm wondering if this battery will fit :
