Dabid's BL Savage!

Hey, guess what? It's back, and it's got a body! I finally got around to painting the extended F-350 a simple scheme of True Blue Pearl backed with Indy Silver, came out pretty good, but it'll just get beaten to death anyway.

Onto the pics!



I hacked the rear of the body to give clearence for both the rear tires and shocks and stuff, as well as the wing mount. With it all pretty though, of course I had to take it out against my brother's crazy Pro 4 buggy, and had a bunch of fun.......and a massive crash.

Shock tower tried to come through body, and sparked on the body mount screw.......


Did some roof skidding....


New lowered body mounts using 1/4" alum. and the stock mounts just cut up and screwed through the alum. That screw sparked when the body buckled in the crash.


And last but not least, destroyed the wing mount.......



I didn't even get to take any pics of this truck while it was still pretty, so I kinda had to put it back together for these ones. One thing I didn't even take a pic of is how the crash loosened the motor and killed the zip ties holding the rx pack on. I think I'll see what kind of buggy wing mounts I can find in town, this one's done. The driving was pretty cool, but the 14 cells hadn't been charged for a while so I know it wasn't performing at full capability, I still think I was hitting 40 at least.
