will savy xl tvps fit on x?

[609savage]

i was looking into puting the savy xl tvps on the savy x ...so, i can have a longer wheelbase, can they work???? and also eliminate wheelies!!!

 

[XxxNate's SavagexxX]

to elimanate wheelies just richen up youre truck XD anyway I'm not sure but i don't see why not!

HPI actually makes a full conversion kit to switch the other savage models into the XL tvp's. It's only about 80 bucks and comes with the TVP's and the dog bone you'll need for the longer chassis.

The only real difference between XL and X is the TVPs the rear dogbone, and the axles are all longer.......

If you are going to extend your savage look at the flm extended tvp's. for just about the same price you can get way better tvp's.

flm's are alot cheaper, but an inch shorter.

flm's are alot cheaper, but an inch shorter.

I didnt know that. from what i was told they were just about the same. Does anyone have a measurement on the xl tvp's?

 

[Dreadnaught]

the savage x is 534mm long stock
savage x with flm's is 574mm long
savage xl is 55mm longer than stock, making it 589, not 570 like hpi's site says.

 

[xsavage3148]

FLM's site claims it extends it 40mm am i missing something.

 

[Dreadnaught]

nope. i just cant add

hpi's site says the xl tvp is 55mm longer than the x, and flm's are 40 inches longer, so the xl is 1.5cm longer, which is like 3/4 of an inch?

Links are good guys. Here is the conversion kit for X to XL.

But xsavage3148 is right. I have not received my FLM TVP's yet. But not only are they just about the same length (FLM are shorter) but the FLM are thicker, and look better. I have not seen a bad post about them.

yeah i was just factoring in the bigger tires and everything overall. i would much rather have the flm than the xl tvp's they are badass!!

i run flm's but i like the way the new xl chassis looks better.

HOLY CRAP!!!!! 40 inches longer from the FLMS!!!!! I must have a few sets! That'd end up being a 1/4th savage!


And yeah Dread here is right. The FLM's aren't quite as long after the bolt on, but they are stronger, and I think they look a lot better. (Maybe someone can drop a pic here of their flm'd savage?)

Also, the stock XL tvp's are thin, and rather weak compared to the FLM's.

I'd stick to flm personally.

 

[Dreadnaught]

like this?

Really? I think the FLM's are sexy. haha! Bought the FLMs yesterday.
