Default Will it?

Looking online, and I stumbled upon the TCS crawlers savage 5t conversion. I really like this:

My problem/ question is I own a hot bodies ezilla. Will this work since it's primarily a rebdged savage?

not 100% sure but I don't think it will. The E-Zilla is the same as the original E-savage which is quite different from the Flux.

Sent TCS Crawlers several questions regarding my question. I guess they don't like selling their product.

Anyone have this conversion who can perhaps shed a lil light?

That wouldnt work without a lot of modification. The E-Zilla is much smaller than the savage flux and has completely different parts even though the design is similar. GCM make different chassis' and components for the e-zilla and e-savage, but nothing to make it 1/5th scale. Really; the arms are too narrow and the driveline isnt strong enough for any kind of 1/5 scale duty anyways.

Finally got a response from TCS Crawlers. They claimed that they have never tried to actually fit the savage/ e zilla to the 5T conversion. They don't believe it will work. Back to the drawing board. I still think the kit is cool as hell.

Yep the e-savage is totally different from the nitro or flux 1/8 savages.

I'm getting conflicting info now. Although the trucks are understandably different. I hear the bulk heads and skid plates line up. WTF??? I gotta see the trucks side by side. Please someone confirm.
