Next in line is to tidy up the electronics. She will get a Castle Creation Mamba Monster Max V2. Then I will setup the car on the 1/8 scale setup thingys & hopefully she will run this weekend.

hey joe looking great... is that the 3mm spring steel rod that you bent to specs or a modded sway bar from another vehicle? Good luck if you get her running this weekend.

looks great, i need me a set of those shocks :D

Just buy two sets of nice rear oversized truggy shocks.:yes:

TBH, those are steel rod from a bicycle spoke. This is the nearest thing that i can find that resembles spring steel. Hope it works. Yep I need some luck as I will be running a brand new unmodded MMM.

Those are Nanda super big bores I bought from my lhs for about USD30 per pair c/w springs. I think they are known as radical rc or something in the states.

that thing is awsome.

im looking at a members savage right now so hopefully i will have my own to look at soon!

what does it weigh?

They weight a tonne or at least mine does. As for the MMM use a bec cause that is the difference between my number 5 and the other 4 that stopped working.

Yeah it does a bit. I think the auw is 5+kg but still, the 7XL with a BK9920 I had in there earlier on could make it fly. I have since detuned to a 8XL + MMM. Still no chance to try it out yet because of racing activities. Just raced my BL X1 buggy against nitro over the weekend. Very fun & the nitro boys looked mildly disturbed :lol:

Ok kind of bore + playing with new lens :

Dang!

Im loving your savage. Im building one in a few days. FLM kit ordered, and then sent to anodizing.. Hehe

Any vids?

ill be building one in a couple weeks too!!

got the front and rear assembly + the tranny.

im about 1/10 the way there!:yes:

Hi guys,

Step on it already :whip: :mdr:. You'll like it :yipi:. Use a Losi 8T body, fits real nice.

No vids though, the last time this truck ran was 6 months ago in the mud. Since then, did a lot of cleaning + some upgrading & now still waiting for the body but I've been distracted with preparation for a big local race coming up first 2 days of next month.

I have all the alu peices from a savage anoed black (including FLM. pics soon) and im selling my on road stuff. So I will buy buying, or trading for a roller to get my F/R end:mdr:

I cant wait!

How do you like the LPR's on there? I love them, I cant decide between those, and the XL savage tires. The LPR handle alot better, and are lighter. but i am not building this thing to handle like a dream:lol::party::whistle:
