    I started buying aluminum parts for my savage as well as a new .27 Sirio engine. I had a crazy (crazy expensive) idea. I had almost enough parts to build an all metal savage. I decided to start building a second truck. My question to you is one of performance. How does your beast perform? I plan on keeping the truck on road. Any feedback is appreciated.

    I still am waiting for an answer as to what those shocks were with the hooks at the top.

    I was in the midst of buying a bunch of aluminum parts for my Savage till I looked @ all the metal I had accumulated. I decided to build a new aluminum Savage from scratch using only the finest materials. So far I have bought everything except for electronics & transmission. I have a new Sirio .27 Racer waiting to be installed. How does your truck drive with all the aluminum? Do you have any recommendations? How is the durability of the metal during a crash? All feedback is appreciated.

    Also how much do they cost, on average.

    oil reservoirs work by the rod going into the shock pushing the oil into the reservoir allowing the rod to go further into the shock
    for more suspension and to soften the impact when you land your big savage or enother car

    here is a pic of the shocks and the cost

    i hore it helps you
