I know it's an old beat dead horse BUT....with unfortunate news of Kershaw is anybody selling a kit (complete) for converting a nitro savage.

My 4.6X has been sitting on shelf for 2 years now and I have the stock electronics I swapped out of a mt4 G3 so I can do the swap for cheap and kids can run it or I can sell it....not much market for used nitro anymore.

Any help appreciated.

You could probably convert it by sourinc parts from other brands or make parts yourself. What you need is really a motor plate and a motor mount with slots so you can use different pinions. Alza makes a motor mount and motor plate, but maybe you can find used ones on ebay from HPI.

Really just looking for a kit like Kershaw, just one place to deal with , all things work and fit like they should....I know it will cost a bit more but it'll be simple

Kershaw makes outdated stuff, and it looks like a amateur has put it togeather in the basement. Correct me if im wrong but all you need is motor plate and motor mount and alza makes it.

That's exactly what he asked Funniekid. No need to tell everyone how shitty You think Kershaw is. All he wants to know is where else he can buy an electric conversion.

Damn what is up with all these rips on people lately. You do know the guy passed away from cancer right?

His designs might of not been the “cats meow” but they worked nonetheless

Come on, I just said what I thought about the parts its no big deal.

I have no use for over machined nice looking parts that are over priced...Funniekid...it's a toy truck for my kids to bash instead of sitting on a shelf.
There's more to it than a motor plate...battery trays, pinion and a idler gear to eliminate the 2speed if the limited research I've had time to do.

I'm just trying to get this done cheap and easy. Kershaw's kit fit the bill but in the big picture a man's passing far outweighs this little hobby.
Show some class.

Did you notice that I wrote "sourcing parts from other brands or make parts yourself"? Also I have heard that kershaw don't ship stuff anymore so even if you wanted to get those stuff it would be impossible. As for Alza parts being over priced, let me laugh if anything they are under-priced.

Generic battery trays can be used and mounted on the TVP and you can use the flux idlear gear to lock the transmission:

But I don't agree, we speak about the parts itself not the personal issues of the creator. And who talks about "shelf queens", you should learn more about how the terms are used instead of just spouting them out.

It says on the kershaw website that the conversion kit is in stock for $70 and I personally think that they both dont look that pretty so just pick the cheaper one

FK .....I've been in the hobby a while...it's not a shelf queen.....it was shelved because...well it's nitro.....brushless is way easier for my 12 yo ...I'm just trying to pull out my CC and buy 1 kit...nice and simple....I will follow your links, I do appreciate your tips.
Was just hoping for something easy.

When you try to pay by PayPal it says vendors blah blah...so no go
