Hey man, welcome! Go with two S-600's i also have the e-savage and thats what i'm getting! Here is the thread, make sure you read it and get the correct pinion gear for these motors also.

Some 7 cells should increase speed quite a bit but you will have to cut the center of your battery trays. Use a hump pack.

cool cheers i was looking at goin brushless with the novak hv maxx kit, but these s 600 sound cool too, will they run on the stock hpi esc then,

JUCD VPR

Yes they will run fine with the stock ESC. I mean brushless is awesome but 15 bucks each sounded much better to me and i hear the are awesome. Can't wait to get mine in!

redramuk

yeah definatly for the price they sound great what battery are running and also any link on where i can buy them from im in the uk

i got a question, on the pinion shaft, do you have to sand a flat spot for the pinion or will it just bolt right on?

JUCD VPR

I bought TWO of these S-600 motors

TWO of these 21 T pinion gears

TWO of these motor heat sinks to help cool the motors

If you get all that and some good batterys then you should be all set!

JUCD VPR

I BELIEVE it bolts right on. Like i said i'm waiting for them to come in the mail but i haven't heard anything about sanding anything down and no one suggested anything like that?

I ground a bit of the shaft so the pinion could be screwed on (for the grub screw.) A quick dremel job...

redramuk

sweat what the heck i,ll order some, and see how it goes, what batterys do you recomend any links to them at tower hobbies

Here's the batteries I use.

They're real good.

I personally would upgrade to 7 cell batteries. 6 cell batts are to slow for me. Check out this compairison from traxxas.com , he tested these cheap 7 cell batteries vs. some ib4200 6 cells batts in a stampede. I am going to purchase some cheaper tenergy 7 cell packs like the ones tested.

Yah i agree IB4200's are good quality but sometimes i think their way to much money.
