Yes definitely! You only need the Draco Centre Diff Set. www.draco-jp.com/centrediffset2024

For batteries I recommend 2x Zeee 3S 7000mAh batteries. For a motor You could go for the Rocket RC 1650KV.

Thank you for the fast response. I was wondering if 2 x 3s​ lipos would be too much. Im trying to find the solid metal front and rear difs, even better drive axles before i pull the trigger on purchasing the conversion, but the toughness to find these parts has me a little worried. Any suggestions? Thank you again I'm in Canada ​@@dracoprecision

You’re welcome. With a 1650kv motor it’s still pretty fast but not over the top like a 2200kv motor. AliExpress has some parts for your diffs plus I have diff cases available also. If you tell me what you’d like I could get the parts together for you and ship everything together if you’d like.

Ok I'm going to have to go get my savage 25 out of storage and save up a few bucks and go with your kit.. it's been sitting for over 10yrs and your kit gives me hope again

I’m glad to hear your Savage passion has been reignited! When you’re ready to upgrade let me know and I can help.

I’m afraid with the setup it’s not possible to have dual motors.

Yes I can make a video for this no problem.

Here is the video. I just uploaded. th-cam.com/video/r6EOK_HqACA/w-d-xo.html

Yes, I can ship to Canada.

@@dracoprecision good, i was thinking of gettinh this kit for my savage, have the og one for nitro and this one for electric

Great! What Nitro platform are you converting? Do you have some HPI Savage spares?

Best of luck!

I’m looking to release it by the end of January.

Thank you! It’s my own design which I hope to release at some point. This parts of a tool set.

Thanks man!! One day you’ll get a Savage again. There are still plenty around.

Awesome can’t wait to get them available!

I think you’ll have some shims at home somewhere. They are standard 8x10mm.

Thank you. Does the D817T use the same radio tray as the D8T?

@dracoprecision I am not sure, but they look pretty similar. I will have to do some research.

I’ll have a look too and let you know.

Good to know thank you!

Are you going to get it up and running with your son? Thanks for watching.

@@dracoprecisionI am considering it. I already was before he asked, but it was pretty far down the project wishlist. I know at minimum I will need new electronics. I think the odds/ends of getting other missing or broken pieces may be tough. I do not think it is missing much, I can only recall one of the links for the sway bars, but I would imagine there is more.

The platform is mostly HPi Savage based except from the body mounts, front and rear bumpers, wheel hexes, TVPs, and braces. I definitely recommend upgrading electronics to something that can handle the weight. I run the Castle MMX8S on 6S with a 1650lv motor and it’s great. Send me a message if you need help sourcing some parts.

Thank You. I can custom make parts for you but it would depend on your budget.

Thank you!

Sure thing! I use Kyosho springs and recommend the following: IFS-002-815 / IFS003-915 / IFS002-8515. It is best to stay with springs 80mm long as once batteries are installed the vehicle sits quite low. Hope this helps!

Yeah man it’s an essential upgrade that protects your driveline and adds longevity to the diffs.

Yes, I am working on the nitro Centre diff assembly now.

Hey there, the kit includes 13x19x4 bearings for the outdrives and the diff itself requires 8x16x5 bearings which I can provide. You can use the stock 5sc diff and just transfer some parts over like the diff case, and spider gears.

Thanks man.

Thank you!

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

If the diameter of the standoffs is 4mm some other ones could be used. The only issue is if the length of the standoffs is the same. Don’t worry though I always have a stock of small parts like this.

The front and rear shock towers for the buggy will be around $60-70US shipped.

Thanks! Unfortunately, the Centre diff parts don’t work with the nitro at all. I am currently looking at a design for the nitro.

@@dracoprecision that's would be amazing, Also bring back the savage cvds 😉

If I can make them cheaper I’ll definitely bring them back

Yes I have designed M4 standoffs for the shock towers and new video update coming this weekend.

That’s a great idea man! I’ll add it to my list.

The sound can get annoying after extended periods, but the maintenance, driving feel, smell and needy nature of nitro makes me love it. You should try it one day if you can.

@@dracoprecision One day my friend, I promise.

I’m using Kyosho aluminum clutch shoes. Do you think I should go back to the carbon ones?

I’m afraid I’m still developing it but when available it will be in my store on my website. www.draco-jp.com/thedracostore Unfortunately only up to 42mm motors can be used.

@@dracoprecision any indication on when will be available and will you be shipping worldwide?

I’m sorry I do not know yet. As soon as I have them in stock I can ship. Where are you?

I’m in Australia

No problem. I ship to Aussie a lot.

Thank you! The final parts may look different. There may be a raw aluminum look.

Thank you!

Yeah I could do that. Maybe some 6061 plates front and rear and a chassis protector.

Probably still quite a while. I will make some changes to the towers and motor mount set. But I’m happy with the progress so far!

It is SLA using Black Resin.

@@dracoprecision no wonder the finish came out so good. Awesome to see you still keeping the super flux 5c alive👍

@@willbingo Thank you!
