RE: My e savage build
body cannot be raised unfortunately, it sits on top of the shock towers and is held in by bold. Has worked amazingly so fat, and most of my bodies dont require to sit high. The front shocks have also been swapped out to black stiffer springs, so it dosent sag as much. Can t wait to run this beast!
And yes, those badlands are amazing! they cut the grass for me hehe...

That's a cool truck. looks like a lot of fun!
Definitely run 4s. Less current, so less electrical issues
Is it just ThunderbirdJunkie, or do your springs look almost fully compressed in the pics where it's sitting? Do you get full range of motion or do the coils stack?

RE: My e savage build
FYI the Savage Flux battery boxes bolt to the E-Savage with an extended chassis with little effort.
I only run 2-3s in the e-savage max hence the single box.
This is mine... FLM extended chassis, Kershaw Designs e-savage shocks (I think they are from CEN MT), Novak HV-Maxx with 6.5 motor and a few more goods. It has been a good truck. Not the best, but its fine under 2-3S power. I rarely break anything on it.

Nice truck man!
I also am interested in your tyre combo. What are the tyres and where'd you get them from?
Thanks

The tires are Losi Zombie Maxx for the TMaxx. Unfortunately, it looks like they were discontinued.

RE: My e savage build
I've seen the hpi adaptors but I dont see why I should change the hex size and pay $20 more if I can buy a 14mm rim, is it that big of a difference?

Personnaly, id rather not destroy 60 dollar rims... but if you havent had a problem.... Brushless is a lot harder on the hexes then nitro..

RE: My e savage build
On an e-savage (not to be confused with Flux), stripping 14mm hexes is the least of our worries if we have enough power to strip hexes. Anything above 3s on a decent brushless setup will wreck these trucks.
