Kershaw Designs Savage 5T Chassis Conversion

[Hypnotiq]

Like all good engineering designs, this chassis is simple in concept, but great in its payoff. Simply bolt all the components to your HPI Savage to this frame, install the included X-long center dogbones and you have a Savage with a wheelbase to match the 5T's body. A stock width Savage fits perfectly under the wheel wells too.

Features

* Chassis made from 3.2mm natural heat-treated 6061 aluminum.
* Chassis accepts Kershaw Designs' Savage Brushless Conversion, Direct Drive Gearbox and battery trays.
* Stretches wheelbase to 22.1".
* Includes X-long center dogbones and throttle/brake linkage.
* Chassis is direct replacement for all models of Savage. Savage XL owners need standard width wheel axles and standard hubs.

is it bigger then the GCM desertboy 17 conversion?

Yes.

The message you have entered is too short

 

[pietrOmertaBMC]

wow its 5 inches longer! COOL! i thought this was the biggest conversion around but it seems i'm wrong 🙂

but why is this? --> Savage XL owners need standard width wheel axles and standard hubs.
XL axles are more durable than the X's or...?

So if you do this conversion does it require that you upgrade to a bigger body also...what about the wheel size??? I would like to see this installed in a pic that shows the chasis and complete build with body and tires.

 

[fallenangels]

Also what if any benefits are there to the longer chasis conversion?

I think it would be cool to do a sand runner out of a 1/5 conversion , a Baja body, and some paddle tires since I live right by the beach. Then again by the time I got another Savage to do it with and all the parts I could probably afford to just get a Baja LOL.

 

[soulja]

but it wouldn't be as cool as a Savage Mickey!!

Yeah I really like that Savvy FLUX with the TCS 1/5 conversion on the cover of RCDriver this month. With the Baja wheels and body work, it looks a heck of a lot like a Baja except electric.
