    Does the Savage 25 TVP chassis accept the new type radio box ?

    I missed your original post and just saw it. Was going to tell you it does fit, but I’m very late to the party and as you have said you figured it out. Just so you know, you are not alone, some of the best and most productive conversations I have with people are in my head.

    Custom HPI Savage Parts

    I am really excited with your products. Thank you for sharing. I am trying to convince my wife I NEED a center diff. Shouldn’t be too hard, just need to break my savage (or pretend it’s broken, loose grub screw should do it), and say I can’t find parts. Don’t tell my wife!!

    HPI Savage Flux 2350 & HP (parts no longer available?)

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, but won’t any savage bulkhead fit. It’s been a long time but when I converted my savage 25 to electric I only replaced one bulkhead with the newer savage X kind. (I used savage flux chassis and gearbox case) If I remember correctly the differences were the way the...

    Savage on-road conversion, thoughts?

    I need a build project and I came up with an interesting idea. What do you all think of making an onroad savage flux? And what do you think I need to change other than the wheels? Thoughts on shocks? Advice on ride height? I converted my nitro to a flux, then bought a new MT and stole the...

    Two Savage 25's - restore, convert to electric, or just sell?

    I have a couple of savage 25 too. I converted one to electric and it was very satisfying to do the conversion. (I love building). But parts were very difficult to find as HPI went bankrupt around that time. Changing it to electric was a lot more work than I initially thought as the extra power...

    Savage 21 conversion

    To be honest, it will be much cheaper to just replace the nitro engine. I paid around $160 for a new nitro engine, lrp32 is currently $180. The flux conversion when all was done cost me well over $500 (electronics alone were over $200) and some parts were really tough to find...

    Transmission issue

    Oh and make sure you take the whole transmission apart and clean every single piece of it. The iron filings in there will only wear down your gears faster.

    Transmission issue

    I had a similar problem when I converted my savage to a flux. The only difference is my gears were further worn out than yours appear to be. You may want to try replacing the gears Inside the transmission that is on the same shaft as the slipper gear. I think it’s called a drive gear. You can...

    HPI SAVAGE TRUCKZILLA!

    I have a Truckzilla conversion with the “flame” tires, but only a single motor, I picked up on eBay over a year ago. It has been a shelf queen all it’s life, never started. I picked it up as a roller for my LRP 30, only to find out it was brand new and only missing a radio. So I kept it as is...

    Hpi back in trouble...

    It’s with a heavy heart, that I’m saying goodbye to my Savages! They will be living on the shelf from now on. It’s become harder to find parts the last few years and as a result my other cars are being used more and more and both my savages are sitting not being used. After reading some posts...

    Savage flux - upgrade parts ???

    In your list you mentioned HD diffs, the Flux should come with bulletproof diffs, metal diff case etc. I don’t know of a better diff to put in there, but I’m all ears for anything better than stock. Gearboxes are being swapped for a center diff and it seems like a good upgrade (I still need to...

    motor replacement

    In the winter I use Traxxas paddle tires and in the summer it’s proline trencher x. 44 spur gear and not sure on the pinion(I can’t see the numbers lol)

    motor replacement

    I had an issue where it kept stopping and re-arming the esc in both my yeti and savage. I eventually figured out that even though the ESC is waterproof, the switch isn’t. I used plasti-dip and coated the wires where they go into the switch and around the white silicone cover on the switch. I...

    motor replacement

    I have the castle 1515 2200kv. http://www.castlecreations.com/en/1-8th-scale-1/1515-2200kv-sensored-motor-060-0063-00 I'm also using their Monster X Speed controller as my flux was a nitro conversion. I can’t say enough good things about this system. I have only used it on 4S and I honestly...

    Savage 25 to Brushless conversion

    The TVP looks liked part of the problem, the flux has a cutout where the motor sits and allows it to move for adjustment. Your motor is right up against the TVP. My only thought would be to put a big block or spacer under the motor mount raising the motor to the top part of the spur gear...

    Savage 25 to Brushless conversion

    I read a post somewhere here recently that Kershaw designs may be reopening, you may want to look at them again before trying the intergy stuff. I tried the ones you linked but they are for a small 540 can motor.

    Motor Mount Plate?

    If I’m not mistaken, the flux motor does sit lower in the chassis than the nitro one due to those cross beams being parallel.

    Diff Case Question

    If you are building a flux you should really consider bp diffs. The flux power is too much for anything lower quality eg plastic cups.
