Default Savage Electric Conversion?

Has anyone done an elec conversion to a Savage? I am looking at the www.kershawdesigns.com twin kit. Wanted to get some feedback before I start. I have a SS kit less motor ready to go. It is either the elec. kit or a SH.28. Thanks Dana.

How does the Savage run. What kit did you use? How does it perform? What else can you tell me about it.

Thanks, Dana R

not nessecarily. with electric full throttle is just THERE when you bomb the trigger, as for nitro it must work up to full speed. electric is at full speed the whole time, the tires spin at start until the traction catches up and it will take off.

Well I hand made it all, the first pic was the start with the MSC it fried after 2 runs.

Soo I got a EVX and some good bats, and the Truggy project started. Then the Revo rockers.
Never seen a E-Maxx run, but prob runs like one I would guess, same motors and ESC.
I like it, fun for around the house, but it's still not as fun as the power of nitro

Sorry thats prob not much help...

BTW: RcBoyz sells a kit.
