E-SAVAGE CONVERT TO BRUSHLESS SYSTEM
 
Can Traxxas vxl-3 velineon brushless power
system combo fit into my E Savage?
Anyone run it before? Need advise!
Any other brushless system to recommend?
Thanks

It'll fit but you'd have to gear it pretty low, 20t pinion on 2sLipo will give you slightly slower than a stock E-Savage, 17/18t on 3s Lipo will be fairly quick, and would be the highest you could go.

Just watch your motor temps, and upgrade your E-Savage drivetrain appropriately (ie, shim the diffs, upgrade to T-Maxx sliders and stock a few dozen spare spur gears!

I got a old E Savage aldy. Just thought of changing to brushless system.

get an 80A EZrun combo :) it comes with a nice big motor, and will easily pwn a VXL system.
