Converting a Savage

[Rtsbasic]

In a moment of insanity I decided to purchase a Savage to have a go at converting to brushless. Only minor problem is I haven't really got a clue how to do it. Are there any pre-made motor mounts I could purchase to use, or will I have to crack the dremel and drill press out?

I've had a look at a couple on here (Serum, very nice trucks you have!), and it looked like I can stay with the stock transmission? Will it be okay with a 9XL and 14 cells? The Savage I brought is a Savage 25, with thw two speed auto, I think. Will I need to stick with manual brakes, or can I use the motor as the brake?

Any advice or help anyone could offer me would be greatly appreciated. I love the look of a savage, and how they drive. But don't have a clue about them really.

Thanks.
