...well that definately let the air out of the inflatable wife THAT one...I understand what you are saying though Rhylsadar; why bother going to all that trouble with a Savage when i could have just gone with a truggy...

...A: I tried the Hellfire a while back and could never quite get to grips with it...Its in the truggy section here...

...B: I wanted to use the hellfire center diff and shocks because thats what i had...no other reason...The reason i figured out how to use the HF towers was pure chance...i really wanted to use them as best they COULD be used...

...C: i never really liked the high cg on the savage...

...D: My target has never been a 'racing machine' so im not sure where you got that from...low, nimble, STRONG and fast were the project goals...All have been achieved...btw i drive like CRAP which is why its needs to be bulletproof lol...

...I MUCH prefer this truck to the Svage OR the Hellfire...Its like i have the best of both vehicles all packed into one...I appreciate your praise on the build aspect of it though...Most unlike me to have it end up looking this good lol...

...the weather was great...the sun was warm and high in the sky...The pregnant sister in law was coming over and the permission had been granted...The batteries were fresh, the tires were glued and the new motorplate was ready to go...

...It all turned to poo when in the the space of 30 seconds, 2-year old BabyBit took the driveshafts and hid them in the BlackHole that only small children have access to :( I searched ALL day and watched miserably as the sun went down on the Perfect Sunday...Even Mrs. Bit felt sorry for me as she knows this truck is a little bit different to everything else in the past...it was a LONG, LONELY Sunday...

...The night before was a busy night...

...As seen on ALL the best trucks in the past, i decided to make the motorplate the chassis brace...

...MetalMan has done it, Hjena has done it and Serum has done it...It makes the most sense and though adding a little bit of weight, tightly secures the motor AND the diff reducing flex and adding direct power...

...Introducing, possibly THE ugliest piece of metal work you may EVER see, The HFX BrimStone motorplate...

...photographed in the dark as it scares small children and makes the world a sadder place :D
