    Thinking of XL brushless conversion

    That's kind of how I ended up, but I got a complete used flux hp, which is the shorter one like the X vs XL.

    Thinking of XL brushless conversion

    Yeah, you would have to take out even more. I had to notch mine a bit on my old 21 when I ran an OS21RG in it. Had pretty low gearing and it had a large starter housing.

    Thinking of XL brushless conversion

    Part of the issue is that to get it geared usefully, the motor hangs off the side of the chassis a bit, so you may have to cut up the chassis rail on the pipe side, which could make it weak. Might be less annoying if you remove the engine plate itself and make a mount that bolts/slids on the...

    Thinking of XL brushless conversion

    I'm not sure you can get away with 3S on a rig like that. You may stress the esc too much trying to pull the amps to drag a truck that heavy around. I run 4S with 60C and 90C packs. With older 60C packs that are tired and starting to be fussy on charging, I do get a bit of stutter half way...

    Thinking of XL brushless conversion

    The kv on brushless is how many rpm's it will turn per volt supplied. Lower kv usually means higher torque. My savage flux hp (non-xl) came with the blur (mamba monster, old not waterproof)/2200kv torq motor in it. I recently replaced it with a mamba monster x sensored with a 2200kv castle...

    Thinking of XL brushless conversion

    The cheapest proven route to take would be a hobbywing/2200kv combo and run an alza center diff mount. The guy that made the "conversion" kit with mount passed away late last year, Dan at Kershaw Designs. Other than the alza, I don't know of another conversion that doesn't require you to...
