I could be wrong, but I beleive the axles are different for the X and the original. But yes, if you had 17mm Hexes you could use the Warlock wheels. I don't see why they wouldn't fit, except you'd need 2 'wrong way round' nuts because the X axles are all just standard threads now - so those nuts would only fit one side.

Yep, spot on. I've actually just fitted a set of those 17mm hubs to my Savage, the ones with the thicker axles just like an Inferno. Now both have the same mountings so I can muck about swapping wheels etc. I also installed the radio box from a Savage X, fits perfect with no mods and sh.t ME IT IS SO EASY TO GET THE LID OFF!!!!! No more body pins, I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND IT!! Oh and I now have a set of Blast tires fitted to Goliath rims on the Savage, HUUUUUGGGEEE!! Oh and oh, I've now got my Savage nailed as far as tune and handling. Its awesome now. Did the hugest wheelies I've ever done last week end. Only reason I stopped was cause I ran out of carpark, LOL! Also just picked up a 4 shoe Werks clutch for it, see how it goes, should be a bit of fun!

Yeppers. I use the HPI 17mm hexes and nuts on my Mayhem ST and they are excellent in quality and function. I also run Dirt Bonz tires on my Savage and Mayhem ST and can't say enough good things about them. You will notice a HUGE improvement over the stock Savage 25 tires. Dan is right however............you'll need to swap out the wheel axles on the left side of the truck (the silver ones) as they are reverse threaded and will not work with the HPI 17mm wheel adapter nuts. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Savage-X-4-Axles-Axle-Wheel-Output-Hub-Shafts_W0QQitemZ2 70069687256QQihZ017QQcategoryZ44028QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem You only need 2, but ordering a set of 4 is good cause you'll have a few extras handy. BTW, the item I sent you is listed by plcman1, who is one of the FINEST sources of Savage bits on e-gay..............and yes, he does ship internationally.

Btw, Doc, get a Savage X radio box for your Savage, you wont look back, no more body pins! The lid is also bigger which makes getting it off and on so easy. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HPI-Savage-X-SS-Battery-Servo-RX-TX-Box-21-25-4-6_W0QQit emZ270069686620QQihZ017QQcategoryZ44028QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Cheers Dre Thankyou, thankyou and thankyou. ;) >>> if i brought this >>> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-HPI-SAVAGE-17mm-hex-hubs-wheel-pins-nuts_W0QQitemZ1800 64679051QQihZ008QQcategoryZ19168QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > Cheers Dre >>> if i brought this >>> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-HPI-SAVAGE-17mm-hex-hubs-wheel-pins-nuts_W0QQitemZ1800 64679051QQihZ008QQcategoryZ19168QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > I agree, I've also bought some parts from him! Thirded, I've bought from him too and I'm UK based :-) SignatureDan Formerly DanTXD > I agree, I've also bought some parts from him! > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Cheers Dre I was thinkin' about doing that, but I run a 5-cell hump pack with a charge lead and never really have to open the battery box for anything..........plus I have the clear lexan lid for the "old skool" battery box painted bright silver and it adds a bit o' bling! Next time I need a battery box though, I might just upgrade. Doc >> I agree, I've also bought some parts from him! >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Doc Yeah no worries, the newer box has a rubber plug and a hole and mount especially for the charge lead. I'm stocked with mine, totally, its a very very good improvement over the standard unit.... But hey, if you've got the lexan lid it might be easier to get off... I wanna try out my new 4 shoe werks clutch, but haven't had time to install it yet. Be nice to get consistant launches, atm, I get 90% consistant launches, the other 10% are a little boggy. More tweaking required! Cheers Dre > Yeah no worries, the newer box has a rubber plug and a hole and mount > especially for the charge lead.

I've been wanting to throw some Pro-Line 40-series BowTies on her for yonks but I refuse to retune the damn 1-2 shift they way she sits now!

The top of the X case pops off so you can remove the main shaft (which then needs to be disassembled to get to the 1-2 clutch). Still a PITA but at least the TVP's and gearbox don't need to be pulled! Doc |
