Yeah, Crowd Pleazer 2.0 would sure be nice.. Not only nice-looking, but functionally nice as well I hear..(as in tough and offering extra protection..)

What are those TVPs? I really like the look of those, do they hold out well for bashing?

Thanks for your coments...

SavageMan- I'm pritty sure the savage X body fits good, so im going to try that.

Amwhite- yeah they should be good for bashing, But i'm going to try and race it a bit.

Badboy- Yeah thats a FLM shassis

Also I have a question....
How do you brakes work?? With the extended shassie, I have to have a longer drive shaft.
And thats mucking up the brakes i think.
I'm not sure if ive done something wrong with them.... But every time i spin the spur gear,
the brakes lock on.
And also, How do the brakes conect to the servo lol.

Thanks again

If you need any more pic's of the brakes, Just ask.

That is a great looking Savage! When you finish it and fire it up, please post back on how it runs.

Does look good but I am not into extended chassis as it makes the turning radius bigger.

Looks great!

You get extra points for going all the way and using the extended arms with the extended chassis. I'm with 46u on the extended chassis part, but the arms compliment it very nicely.


The servo connects to the arm that mounts on the side of the transmission, and that arm activates the brake cam which clamps the pads onto the discs. Look in the manual.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "rod that goes into the hex thing".... clarify please?

Ill get some pics when i get home...
But ill try to explain now..
OK. I'm not to sure of the name of the part, but where the mettle are, where the wheels go onto,
Theres a little mettle rod that stops the wheel from spinning around. and also stops that mettle
part from falling out.
But when I try to put that rod in, it will not go in the hole.

Have i done something wrong???
It's like the mettle bit isn't out far enough.

Thanks again

Can you reach behind the hub and push the axle in further so that you can insert the pin? I've never run into that problem... sorry.

make sure the bearings that go on the inside of the upright set are properly seated otherwise you will find it hard to seat the pin for the hex.
