Default My Savage REBUILT and Ready to Rock!

This is my first land based RC vehicle, I was an airplane guy until I saw the light and bought me a Savage. I bought her used and ebat to death

I replaced

* Front Diff
* various chassis parts (plastic)
* Radio Box
* TVP's
*Driveshafts - all of them

my Mods

* Wasp 28
* Hot Bodies Threaded shocks with 40 weight fluid
* 4 diff mod with 30K rear 50K front fluid
* RD Logic Side Pipe
* Motorsaver air fliter
* Get Srewed Screw kit (awesome mod)
* HPI Dual Disk Brake Kit
* Ofna Micro Servo Saver
* Ofna throttle/Brake mod
* Hitec 645 sterring servo
* Stock steerig servo as throttle/Brake servo
* Fuel Filter

I still need to replace the Gawd Awful wheels and body. Other than that I am good to go.
I am breaking in the engie as you read this (sunday)

Let me know what you think!

you can tune the brakes so that it doesnt do that
i have dual brake disc and mine is fine or you can just learn to not hit the brakes so fast

I'd like to know more about that throttle and brake link mod. Is there a post that describes how that was done? I can't find anything.

The srew set is from "Get Screwed" he advertises on this board, I think on the left hand side of the main page.

The throttle break mod is in the hop ups section.
