SportsFans

Two JR Sport ST126MG. Kinda low budget from what I normally buy, they run like $35 bucks each. Very good torque, and good speed, analog tho. Lady down to the LHS turn me onto them. I have one on steering on one of my other rigs and liked it for a budget servo. Didn't get a chance to run here today but I have the wheels and tires on, will get ripping tomorrow.

SportsFans

No that would be nice tho, to big. Hey you selling your wheels and tires on ebay?

GANGstar305

Great work SportsFans, thats the nicest Savage XL I've seen.

SportsFans

Thanks bro! I have to run it here soon.

SportsFans

Here we go all mounted up! My next post here should be some VIDS!!! I think this thing is capable of make some kinda of Savage land speed record. It is long, very long (must be longer than LST2 and MGT), and it seems it will be much more stable. I will run the the current 18/47 gearing for a bit, then go to 22/46 gear if it fits, and add much heavier shock oil, and then try to break some Savage land speed records.

Thunderbird,ive got those tires and they do not ballon at all,however you have to store them outside,for they smell like a**.Sports,rediculously nice job on the conversion.

Hehe thanks bro! I agree with the smell, but a couple times out and the smell is gone. You think these tires smelled bad. I bought those Losi Road Rash now those really smell like a oil slick. I had them in the basement and you could smell them upstairs on the 1st floor, my wife was giving me hell. thanks GANGstar305.

Well NitroVenom I think I'll go with this Chevy Silverado body. I had this one for about a year unpainted still in the plastic hanging in the dungeon. I didn't like it so it just hung there, but now since I pulled the outer protective coating off I like very much. I might just leave it unpainted tho, I have to be in the mood to paint, and just need protection for this Saturday when I take it for a spin. This is the thickest body I have come across so far, maybe that's why it was so expensive. Oh well just not enough time in a day!!! Oh this body was way to big for the SavageX, it Losi, MGT size still a little short for the XL.

SportsFans

Rain all day here, So no maiden voyage today. Well Here's a couple more pix.

BudBud

That is sweet! I like the clear body with lights and the chevy emblem is killer! Bud

SportsFans

Thx BB, I was going to change my mind and paint it, but my wife said to leave it unpainted. She actually had an opinion about the Savage...Wow[sm=bananahead.gif]

rcnitrohead

Great! Sports you have come up with some of the coolest stuff in the HPI forum, but what would be cooler is getting that Saito 125 Savage done

Tom.

trainrobber

Ohhhhhh no you didnt,i was gonna post a question as to if anybody knew where to get that body,i have been searching for a month and cant find it.Please please wheredya get it?Thats the cherry on top,youve got good taste my man.

KID_EVIL!

I kinda like the body clear to. But maybe get out the air brush and put some flames or "phantom flames" on the front end. Maybe paint the bumpers to.. I dunno. whatever truck looks good though.
