I can give you a few good reasons for getting a savage for bashing. In stock form, it preforms more than good.

you only need two aluminum diff housings and hotbodies C8019 cups. the housings are 20-25 dollars each, from GPM. with proper shimming you have got bulletproof diffs.

It comes with a MOD1 spur. A camshaft type of servo saver is cheap to lay hands on (6-8 bucks on ebay, from the K4,6)

the stock plastic shocks are tough. everything is tough on that truck to tell you the truth.. (exept for the diffs and the centershafts) with these items replaced, you have got a tough as nails basher, which takes high jumps like nothing else.

The 6spider diffs are stronger than the UE 6 spiders, if you built them like i discribed.

For bashing i would use 14 cells and the 2speed transmission.

feel free to sniff around on my site perhaps it's usefull for you.

here is a movie of my way too heavy savage jumping.. with bashing keep away from the variaty of aluminum parts available. It gains weight which is harder on the parts. Platic bends back, aluminum doesn't.
