Hi everyone, i would like to show you my muscle savage with racing settings, and feel free to post whatever your opinion is.

-LST Shocks
-Innovative lst shocks brackets
-Nova aluminum Diff cups
-3 speed trany
-Dual disc brakes
-Tsais dual exhaust pipe
-Road rage tires
-RPM offset rims (custom paint)
-Custom painted TVP's
-18/47 gearing

THE INSPIRATION:




THE BODY MASK:




THE PARTS:





THE FINAL PRODUCT:








THE FLASHBACK:






Thats it.

Oc.

Looks good, but I would definately lower that thing down some and maybe get rid of the stock purple aluminum parts. They don't really go with your color scheme IMO. It look's awesome otherwise though.


I also wanna hear how that OS .30 holds up to the Picco .28 because I've heard a few bad things about it.

Yeah as soon as i figure out where my air leak is coming from [:@][:@][:@]. Those pics on the roof really came out nice BTW. To bad its getting cold here, the savage season is coming to an end, except maybe for a few warmer winter days.

Nice work, that is one mean machine, what I would give to have a car like that. But I have to buy myself a motorcycle and a laptop before I go off spending more money on my cars [:-]

As nice as the pics are, its much nicer in person. Good thing your getting Chronic TVPs so you can take those off and keep them nice. You should maybe send a few pics to some RC magazines, maybe they would publish them, at least submit some to RCU so they can put it on the front page.

I take it you're using the non-Savage X lower arms for the LST shaock brackets or were mods done there too?
