very nice truck build sue1313. i see that you convert a nitro savage to a flux savage. how do you like the new differences?

The Brushless flux motor is just crazy. Standing backflips, it can blow your tires to pieces with 6s LiPo's. Yes you can convert a nitro to brushless but the cost is nearly the same as buying a new flux unless you get a really good deal on the mmm.

 

[savagenitroflux]

Very good points The Pope. I have a savage SS (nitro) and a savage flux. i am amazed at the differences between the trucks. I also like the conversion build trucks. and wonder if sue1313 will prefrence the electric for the nitro or perhaps miss the nitro.

 

[Pope]

Problem with conversions is if you don't mod the trans you have no breaks.

you'll likely blow a 2 or 3 spd tranny to smithereens so you wont even need em

 

[Pope]

Yep there is that too.

i like it a lot!!! its crazy fast!! i can run it at my apt complex and not get crap about the noise. i never really could enjoy nitro. tuning the trucks here were i live is almost impossible. and also no hobby shops close enough to get nitro. i would have to drive about 100 miles each way to get it. so in my case its way better ..
