Go on ebay. An puch in motor mount for electric conversion. But get a 2200kv motor. 6s battery..max 6 esc. An watch the power.

Electric is definitely faster and better but with a rc car this big nitro would always be a funner experience

Yes its only as I was under powering it, it's only barly cogging on 4s it's all metal gears including spur makes it sound even worse, thanks for watching matey 👍🏻

Oh ok. Looking to make the same conversion to mine and I am still hesitating between a sensored or a sensorless combo. Probably I'll get the sensorless due to the price difference. Thanks for responding that fast! I guess also those big wheels doesn't help to eliminate the cogging! Do you have any reliability issues after converting it?

It's still running perfectly, yes go uncensored, some lighter wheels would be much easier on the diffs too 👌🏻 might have to make a bashing video with it soon 😏
I converted mine from 4.6. too electric. 2200kv. 6s. With hobby wing. Max6. Esc. Can't keep it on the ground. Too much power. But I haven't replace my trans. So I don't have reverse.

Thanks matey it works a treat and doesn't cost the earth, worth nothing if its the older savage with the standard diffs its not worth putting anything more than 4s through it and to be fair its fast enough on 4s 👍🏻 your motor will need to be a 1/8 scale size with a 5mm shaft 👍🏻 mines the 2200kv
Should be doing crazy wheelies on 4s
