Pics of my Savage waiting for the Monster - Page 2 - RC-Monster Forums

Lutach, the site owner of HPI Baja Forum said he might make some wheel adapters for the baja to savage conversion. Not sure what axle type he will make them for if he does.

And someone is playing with the forum template so I apologise if the link hurts your eyes.

Yep, they are off the nemisis, kind of like giant bowties! I have a set of the chrome rim/chevron treads off the genesis too. They look much better, not so bland!

I prefer the white ones linc. I can't seem to find many of the white ones around though.

Heres some pics of my savage waiting for the MMM. Well its not really waiting. I have a BK 12020 in for the time being, but its getting a MMM as soon as I can get my hands on one.

So has anyone really bashed or run their Savage with FLM chassis kit hard? I am interested in starting one in the future, but haven't really heard anything about how they run...

I'll let you know after this weekend. Ask Dewmerz or anyone who works at my LHS and they'll tell you that I break everything. New Firestorm with an "indestructible" metal gear tranny? Broke all the diff gears. Brushless ready E-maxx? Snapped the rear axle, center driveshafts and a rear bulkhead. You name it, I've broken it.

So Dewmerz and I will hit our favorite bashing spot then probably head to the bmx park to see how high it'll fly. I'll see if I can beat Dewmerz's LSP2 record of about 12ft without breaking.

Looking forward to how it does killjoyken!! Maybe get some pictures or video too?

I'm surprised that no one has really said how hard they can bash. Mine will be getting a beating once the MMM arrives so I will let you know. I will also try to get some decent video too. We have some nice jumps to use it on.

Cool. I can't wait to see the video. I tried some low speed jumps in my back yard and it tends to drop the nose a bit. Staying on the trigger a little after launch will make it jump level. The stock suspension does pretty well. I can drop it about 3-4ft without the chassis slapping so I'm pretty sure it can take the big air jumps I'm planning for it. I think the shocks will be the only weak points on this truck.

Also, could you please post when the Baja adapters are available? I really want to slap a set of Baja wheels with the new Badlands tires on this truck!

I'll see if I can get Dewmerz to bring out his video camera this weekend. I'm uploading some vids of my E-maxx to youtube right now and I'll post the links when I'm done.

Here ya go. My jumping technique has gotten a lot better. :)

Video camera will be charged and ready to go. I'm ditching work tomorrow so if you're up for it let's go. HB LS2P needs the tires re-glued and a quick review of the chassis to see if anything is bent but I'm ready to go.

Sweet, let's go tomorrow, I'm sick of working on my house.

Don't forget to add more cushion for your receiver and extra heatshrink on your bullets.

I doubt anythings bent...your truck is tough!

jhautz- what shell is that, and wheel base please?
