want a new basher
 

you guys helped me build my g2r for racing, so now i want an indestructable basher. was thinking a ue'd out emaxx, savage x, or an lst2. please give feedback.

Trust me when I say a supermaxx does not bash like most people claim. I've bend those pillow ball's like they where made of butter, from only a double flip driving in reverse. Ok, the rest is strong enough, but for waaaay less you got something waaay stronger.

I'd get a bone stock savage, slam on a bulkless and some alum diff houses, a nice motor and off you go!

thats what i heard. i'd love to do an lst2, but heard they are tough to convert. what size lehner will the savage tolerate? i'd love to throw in a 2240 or 2250 on 10s lipo.

Nothin is impossible, in fact, i'd love a challenge for a project truck.

That's allot of motor on allot of volt's. Nice. You will deffinatly need a centerdiff or a really low wheely bar. But it depend's how you control the throttle, else the motor will grind everything to bit's since it got unlimited torque.

what would a 1950/12 on 8s lipo sound like.

A big smile on your face.

so that would be the ticket? i want this truck to be brutal. really tough and really fast. my g2r has a 1950/8 on 6s lipo its pretty fast, just can't keep the strobe tight.

Use locktight on the Strobe...Also, I think a Savage would be your best bet with some FLM low COG tvp's, bulkless, and either FLM or Vantage arms. I like the vantage because there carbon fiber and super strong.

I am in the testing stage of a savage tally. I have a 2250 on it with tranny. I don't know how well it is going to hold up. If you convert a monster gt over they are pretty tough and easy to convert. I have did two so far. The ue maxx will be nice but not as tough as it should be. There is a lst converted with a emaxx tranny on it out of carbon fiber. It looks great. Have to make a few plates for it and you good.

My G2R is the toughest truck in my area, Not many here can run with it

The g2r is indeed tough, if you want, you can always convert a stock revo on the nitro chassis, should be a good basher with some rpm arms.

right now i'm definitely leaning towards the savage. i like how tough they are and the 1/8th diffs. price would be a huge plus for the savage.

WEll that is one reason i suggested the mgt. I has the 1/8 diffs and cvds as well. The savage is a great truck as well. I have slammed a few things with the stock savage with no breakage. I really can't say one or the other. Both are great trucks.

which has the toughest drivetrain?

You got a good question. If I had to pick. I may go savage. It is a little better diffs. The mgt has better turning though. As far as favorite basher out of a flm gmaxx savage and mgt. The mgt wins.

why is that coolhand?

Well I have no problems with the mgt. If I do break something the parts are cheaper than the gmaxx. The chassis is a solid one piece construction from front to back. The bumpers are well built. I accually like the way my mgt handles over the savage. I lowered the cog on it and it sticks to the ground good. If i break some stuff up on it I let you know. It is holding very well. But so is the savage. I found the mgt easier to convert than the savage. The mgt has a bulkless type design from the factory. the bottom arms are attached to the diff housing. The maxx knuckles can fit the mgt as well.
I think if you go with either you be happy. Just trying to help out and give you all the points of good and bad.

thanks coolhand. the mgt sounds good, but my lhs doesn't stock many parts for it. when i bought the mgt slipper spring for my strobe, they had to order it. they stock all the savage parts. that might be the deciding factor. thanks for all the good input. it would be nice to convert the mgt, as nobody has one around my area. it would surely be unique.

what do you guys think about this price?http://www.sickhobbies.com/savagex.html

Savage SS with FLM 1.6" extended lcg plates, FLM center skid, FLM servo plate, Nova shock towers, 1/8 buggy rear shocks, Hot Bodies "Mega Travel" CVD's, Feigao 9xl, and Warrior 9920. I made a custom motor mount out of 1/4" alum., and use the stock nitro sliding motor mount screw holes, and have yet to break this thing. Just today I stripped the first spur on it, launched it off a big jump and landed off to the side of the landing on flat ground. Thing's built like a tank, and has become even more fun when I made the bump from a 9L to a 9xl.
