$40 and 8 hours later...
After weeks of waiting for parts to come in the mail, I finally received them and got to working. After eight hours of hard work, and LOTS of fabrication, the final result is what you see below. Ive used all HPI Savage parts to create what the Volcano should of looked like from the factory. The parts I used are as follows:
Savage F/R upper and lower control arms, dog bones (makes the stock ones look like toothpicks), axle carriers, steering knuckles w/ bearings, turnbuckles
And for wheels, i'm using the stock Warlock wheels with 17mm hubs. The tires are just ones I found in my box of crap.

To be honest, on soft settings, it doesnt seem to roll over anymore because of the wider stance. It seems ALOT more stable at speed also.

Holy thread revival batman! 
Ive since retired from the hobby, but I will soon bring her back on the road when I've got the cash. And for the ground clearance Adr_ian, its around 4inches off the ground. More than what you would expect with stock suspension.

Well, the width is around 395mm or approximately 15 1/2 inches. Since the width is so humongous, it would be clueless to put on the stock bumpers which offer not much protection. Ill have to fab up my own bumper or use one from a Savage.
