Hello I want to upgrade my savage to 17mm hex hubs. Can someone post a link to a set of adapters that will work going from 14mm to 17mm please.
 
You have many options and a lot depends upon your Savage's configuration.
I stuck with HPI branded product and am very satisfied.
I used 114341 on a couple of Savages when I updated them from 14mm to 17mm.

Note - If you have a super old Savage with the silver nuts on the left side, they are reverse threaded from standard nuts, and you will need to take that into account.
PM me and I'll send you a couple (had to buy more than I'll ever need).
The kit does not account for these...

These are also possibilities for you.

Thank you very much for your response Indeed I do have the reverse nuts on my savage. So will HPI 114341 still work even though the nuts are reversed?

YW.
Two of the nuts will work, the other two - not for your situation.
You will need to buy two 5mm Left Hand Thread nuts"

or
If your Savage has dog-bone driveshafts, you could buy two axles (86065) and throw them on the left side and use 114341 as it comes.

If your Savage has dog-bones, you can also swap out what you have with HPI 160140 which comes with new axles.

If your Savage has CVD's (universals) - I'd personally stick with 114341 and get the left-hand threaded nuts.
