Hey all, I’ve been an on and off lurker.
I’ve had my Savage X4.1 for 15yrs now. It’s had a few upgrades in the past 5.9 aluminum diff cups, 3spd trans. Servos.
It’s been sitting in the basement for many years. I got it out a couple years ago but the engine wouldn’t stay running and I ruined the pull start so back it went to storage.
My oldest is getting more interested in RCs. We have 3 Traxxas electrics.
Well I’ve thinking of pulling the beast back out and giving it a rebuild/ refresh.
I’ve done some searching but some stuff threads are 10yrs old and links don’t work.
I’m thinking XL Flux or XXL Flux (if it’s still a thing) conversion.
Is there still conversion parts out there?
Is there a kit or is this something that has to be pieced together?
What do I have that is usable?
I see v1 and v2 TVPs? What the difference? Will either work?
I'm in Canada and seems parts are limited. Half the Hobby shops I used to frequent have since closed up.
Sorry if this has been posted already.
