Savage XXL Brushless Build-Up

[Travis Mowery]

This is my next project.
Hopefully i get it done in time for the Pumkin Smash at the dungen.
I'm making it Brushless on 6s LiPo

I'm starting with this

Also known as the steel cage match truck. From the world finals

What do yall think.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

How are you planing of doing this? What system? And what are you acctually starting with a pic of what your starting with would be good, like are you planning on keeping those tvp's a mid plate or stick with the box.

Sorry for the questions its just this looks instering.

I am going to build it with the same tvp's.
Me and my dad are going to try and put the batterys inside the truck.
I'm going with a Catle mamba max Esc and have not decided on my brushless motor yet.
I think thats what we are going to start off of.


Here is a pic of what i have now.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

You could easily fit some batteries up front.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

What is the length of your TVP's?

 

[Travis Mowery]

17.25 inches

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

That is just crazy long! I love the mean look of your truck though

 

[Travis Mowery]

It get's the job done. haha

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Haha I bet I am debating weather or not to extend my savage with some custom TVP's now looking at your truck I think I am gonna do it.

How are you planning on mountings your motor?

 

[Travis Mowery]

I'm just going to get the flux motor mount and and make my own motor plate, and also make my own esc mount.

 

[Derek_2694]

hey trav i think that fastlane makes a brushless motor mount with the plate and everything. it don't have a pic to it but heres the link. check it out. http://www.fastlanemachine.net/proddetail.php?prod=FLM49050&cat=22

 

[Travis Mowery]

Derek I think me and my dad are going to fabercate a lot of stuff.

I finally found the motor I'm going to try.

[Derek_2694]

yea that sounds like your dad. lol he likes to make things. it would be cool if you could incorperate the diamond plate for a motor mount like the chassis. what motor are you using?

 

[Travis Mowery]

Derek yea we might use the diamond plate as a motor plate. But we wont use the shiny side with the diamond on it that part would face towards the ground.

This is the motor I'm going to use

[Derek_2694]

cool man so ya got anything else that your bringing to the digger dungeon thats new?

 

[Travis Mowery]

Got some tricks up our sleeves. Just might wanna stick around for pulling...

 

[Derek_2694]

yea we will but we wont be pullin anything. mabey my dad will get his mess straight and give you a run for your money in the brushless class. i still have to talk to henry cross about that small block motor mount for my new x

 

[Travis Mowery]

Yea i have a small block in the works.
Yea I'm having the hardest time dialing my flux in.

 

[Derek_2694]

What mill are you gonna be using in your truck I'm going to be using the OS 18 CV-R or the OS 18 CV-RX

 

[Travis Mowery]

don't know yet ill figure it out when i get the money. I was thinking the 3.3?

 

[Derek_2694]

i haven't had very good luck with them motors. my t maxx and revo both blew up the same way. the con rod broke up top near the piston and tore the block up. traxxas has supposively fixed the weak points on the motor though. they make good power. thats what we put in our t maxx puller

 

[Travis Mowery]

Sweet! Are you racing big block at the dungen

 

[Derek_2694]

yea the same purple one that i have had. just a few new things, wheels, transmission hardened steel spur gear and clutch bell ect. i got the savage x that I'm turning into the small block from my dad because i traded the revo for it. and my dad got the x from Rickey Ownley

 

[Travis Mowery]

Here is what i got.

 

[Travis Mowery]

The motor plae is 5mm thick and the chassis is 4mm thick

 

[Travis Mowery]

DONE!!!!!

 

[texasavage]

nice build man! can't wait for some videos of it! :resp:

 

[Travis Mowery]

Yea we played around with it in the street and it still want to lift the front end up.
I should have some film of it at the punkin smash this weekend.

 

[Bankrupter]
