Ok I want to put this kit on my Savage x ss but I heard I need old savage arms would that be all arms front and back or just the bottom arms thanks.

I believe you only need the bottem arms, because you need the upper and lower shock hole mounts. The RPM arm will not work.

-SomeGuy-

You need the lower arms only but you need to replace the front and back ones.

I also am thinking of this conversion...can someone point me to ALL the required parts on Tower? Or a guide?!

Wait. Wont LST conversion and the X conversion work on a stock Savage SS?
I hope so cause I got both of the below items thinking they would.

You didnt need the upgrade kit if you have the older model savage. And if you have the X then you could have gotten the full X kit instead.

So if I had a Savage X 4.1, what all would I need off that site?

xrapidx

Thanks... are they difficult to mount? Or is it fairly straight forward? Will any serious body modifications need to be done to the Savage X as it is now?

Rexzilla

I didnt really need to change anything on mine, the only thing was that i was running the sav x bulkheads and shock towers and the kit i had was for the standard shock towers, i drilled out the mounts to suit the towers

Err wait... I mean to say

Wont the LST conversion and the X conversion work on a stock Savage X SS?

-SomeGuy-

Even then you could just have gotten this http://www.innovative-rc.com/product...roducts_id=130
You didnt need to spend the extra on the conversion kit.

I saw that but it said "NON X Arms" I assumed I had the x arms since it is an X SS kit.

-SomeGuy-

"NON X Arms" Means you need the savage 25 arms. The X arms dont have the lower mounting holes.

ntloser

The link you posted is to a KITlabeled NON X arms. Why would I want that kit for my Savage X SS with X arms? Am I missing something? I think my original post is causing some confusion because. I typed "SS" instead of "X SS" .


Is this right?

Savage X needs these;

Savage X with NON X arms needs this;

-SomeGuy-

No matter what savage you have you NEED savage 25 lower arms to be able to mount LST shocks, no matter who you get the mounting kit from. No one has come up with a way to mount them on X lower arms, thats why they specify "non X arms"

If you have the older model then ALL you need is this:

If you have the newer X model then ALL you need is this:
http://www.innovative-rc.com/product...roducts_id=130

What you bought is the kit for the older model. The upgrade kit is for someone who had the kit on an older savage and wants to transfer it to an X without having to buy a whole new kit.

ntloser

Oh ...crap.. I need to get some older arms or put the LSTs on the old savage.

Thanks Some Guy...

-SomeGuy-

No problem, just glad i could clear that up for you.

sorry to jump in, but i have a savy l e. what would i need to get for this up-grade? thanks

rcnitrohead

Same thing as the 25's need. The regular mounting kit and assuming you have the original arms, all you need is the shocks. Ill be experimenting with them when I get mine, but am having paypal problems right now.[:@]

nothinbetr2do

-SomeGuy-
