how to make my savage x wider ?
hi im new the site i have been messing with rc stuff for about 5 years now snd i own two savages a 25 and an x i like the savage x alot but it tends to flip over real easy i was just wondering if there is a kit to make it wider ? i have also heard of people using a arms off of the savage xl and i am assuming the driveshafts ,if thats possible, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

hi you could use xl axle shafts as they are longer and but you also need to change the dogbones and the dive shafts as the dog bones are thicker. But if its a newer x it should already have the beefier shafts so will only need the axle shafts

Did you get the longer rear driveshaft to go with the XL TVP's?

RE: how to make my savage x wider ?
To properly convert to the XL you need the following items
XL TVPs
XL rear center dogbone
XL/Flux Diff cups
XL Ext drive cups (the ones pictured above with the purple spacers)
XL/Flux axles
XL motor plate (not necessary tho)
Thats everything needed to convert to XL. If you upgrade to the ext drive cups you WILL need the diff cups and axles. There is no way around this, the X axles will bind and fall out

Just buy some Flux / XL BP diff bulks off ebay, or look at the XL manual and use them.
Best bet is to get flux or newer XL bulks with BP diffs, 29/9 and not the 43/13.
They will come with the larger diff cups either way.
