Some questions on converting my savage

[bl-is-future]

i wouldn't go with the fiegao only because it will not last and will get very hot. It will have plenty of power just not a long life span, all though you could also buy 3 fiegao motors for the price of one neu. BUT the neu will last forever. IF you are on a budget i would look into the medusa motors. I myself have not had one but from what i hear these babies perform on par with neu and are less money than neu but still a hair more than fiegao. As far as the shifting it works fine for a while just the torque slams it into gear and eventually tears apart the tranny.

How about on the settings with the mamba set the punch control up? maybe going for a little less torquey of a motor? Just some ideas.
Got a suggestion on which madusa? I have looked at them but not sure as to which model. Yes the neu are awesome but wow big$$ I am on a budget sorta, I was gonna go for the flm setup but think i will just go with kershaw and save some money since I have stretched lcg tvps.
right now im tearing down my savage and gathering all my nitro stuff to toss on ebay thats where my funds are gonna come from and my rc18mt im selling.
Thanks guys sure I will have more as I go along.

Send me your email and I will send you some pics of my savage.
I had a 7xl in a e-revo ran for awhile and then it died, just pushed it to hard.
Not sure why everyones MA are puffing, I run my trucks hard too, but have not had any issues. I also own some flightpowers and those boys are bad.
Pick up a used Neu motor and dont worry about ever having any problems. I currently have five and they are great. I wonder now if maybe my bulks were flexing and causing my pinions to fail? They look strong but who knows. I dont really want to go to FLM bulks, but if thats what it takes to be bulletproof. Any one have some used FLM bulks for sale? ha ha

With the FLM kit you get the parts to mount a mini servo for use in shifting into reverse like the nitro savage does. So you can run the 3 speed and then just hook up the servo shifting with the savage reverse module. Although... I do hear that the savage reverse module tends to expolde under heavy load so I would only use it for backing out of trouble if you go that route. I wouldnt be trying any standing front flips with the truck in reverse.

Good luck and post up some pictures when you get hit running. I love my FLM savage. Awesome machine.

fiegao 7XL is to small

you need a 10-11xl this is a very heavy truck

Out of curiosity how is the fiegao motors rated? Wouldnt the 8xl be lower in torque then a 10? I take it the xl is xtra long?

[saydee1800]

I would just go with the castle combo it wwill be out in a week or two

[bl-is-future]

yep get the castle neu combo with the 2200 kv and you will be a extremely happy camper.
Yes an 8xl or 7xl would be better than the 10. dont know what that other guy was trying to say. The lower the kv the higher the voltage can go and the more torque or raw power you will have. The higher the kv you lose some torque but gain top end.

[Savage03]

Love to go with the combo but I think its gonna be above my budget, I still gotta get all this nitro equipment to sell and a rc18mt. Thought about it and decided the flm kit would be best so thats a nice chunk of change as well.
How about this medusa? MR-036-050-2200V2-5

[bl-is-future]

i would go with the 60mm cans only to help with heat. But yes the medusa will be just fine. You can always upgrade later. It will be more money in the end but less upfront.

[Savage03]

Would this neu work?
1512/1.5d/s
keep in mind I have large tires to, LSt.

[bl-is-future]

in short yes. In long it may get a little warm on hard and long runs

[Savage03]

ok how about this, i was looking over the medussa motors and theirs like 3 different price ranges, wanna shoot me the one I need? Getting ready to start ordering and wanna make sure I get the right stuff :)

[jhautz]

Whats your budget for the whole thing. We can make a better recomendation if we knwo what you have to spend. If you go with the medusa on this big truck I would go for the 70mm motor at least, even the 80mm motor with those big tires. the 60mm is more of a buggy motor. so is the 1512 motor you referenced.

[Savage03]

Well for sure im going with the FLM kit and a mamba monster esc really the up in the air deal is the motor but it needs to be in the range of $125 or less, their was a guy selling that neu on another forum so why I asked.
Can you give me a link to the madussa motors you recommend please or anything else in that range, love to do a neu but at $200+ thats way out of range right now.
