I'm with you there! It will take the right set up and a whole lotta practice i believe the Savages can be as good and hopefully better than it's competition.

Body layout looks good, the finished paintjob should look sweet.

Love the shocks

This pic says it all! These towers will really give a different aspect to the standard savage. Looking good.

Im not sure if they line up, but there shouldnt be any real problem getting the unit in the roto with so many holes.

Just the fact that they have slots for the body mount clips looks good to me. Consider them sent. Expect them with the other stuff I'm sending.

nice and short. should be pretty stabile on the track.
are you going to replace the upper arms with the adjustable one's for some camber adjustment?

in the pics with the tire's they look like your pushing postive camber.
