Product Overview

The Draco Savage Electric Conversion kit is available for customers who would like to convert an existing HPI Nitro Savage Platform to an electric (Flux) platform. Although the Kit includes MOST of what you need to complete the conversion there are still some parts the customer will need to purchase separately. Depending on whether you are converting a Savage X or a Savage XL and the older generation Savage .21/.25 and Savage Octane platforms, the list of parts will differ.

The stock HPI diff case (HPI86827) is compatible with the included Draco 52T Spur Gear.
