[@kylarstern7627]

Great set mate, makes me wanna go out and buy a Savage! 😮

[@dracoprecision]

Thanks man!

Nice ! Does it fit on Savage X? I'm looking for a conversion kit for this one.

[@dracoprecision]

Yes it does. You can also purchase the rear dogbone in my store.

[@p-alex-studio6008]

@dracoprecision isn't the savage X shorter? For side chassis parts

[@dracoprecision]

That’s correct. I included the longer Savage XL side plates in the kit. You can purchase the kit plus the rear dogbone and then reuse your radio box to complete conversion. Then you only need esc and motor.

I own an Alza based, TVP converted Savage XL. It's running a HW 56xx sized can. The main issue I have is that the stock battery boxes break off. I've 3D printed a set and reinforced them with a steel plate on the bottom, but I usually get one hard run on the boxes before they crack. They don't break off thanks to the steel plate. For very hard bashers, the weak battery boxes are the achilles heel of the Savage XL Flux regardless of who makes the aftermarket TVP. Funny enough, I also own a Flux XL V2, and those OEM battery boxes hold up fantastic on hard bashing. It's because of the way they secured them to the TVP whic is the key. Flatland bashers will not have issues but the battery boxes/how they mount need to be very strong for hard bashers.

[@dracoprecision]

I personally have never had any issues with the battery boxes. I do some jumps but I would say I don’t bash hard. Do you do large jumps and run quite hard?

[@lipoz-n-nitroz4012]

@dracoprecision Yes, I do. I use my Flux XL V2 more over my more expensive Alza build because the battey boxes on the V2 don't break. I prefer to run my Alza build because of the giant motor and center diff but I can't unless i build full steel battey boxes. I'm still looking for a less heavy solution.

[@dracoprecision]

I see. What about aluminum mounts? These mounts attach to the tvp and then the battery box. Unless the battery box itself breaks then you’d need a whole new assembly.

[@lipoz-n-nitroz4012]

@dracoprecision I made full aluminum boxes for my Alza XL, and on my first bash, they bent really badly🙃🙃.

[@dracoprecision]

Yeah I see, I think just the mounts in aluminum might work better.
