Since we are showing pictures of our savages...
This one has a lot of XL parts on it, its an XL without the TVP, rear dogbone and engine.
What you can't see is an RPM skid plate, alumium tank guard, ofna throttle mod, aluminum throttle linkage and some other things I can't remember off hand. The truck has never been driven but will be soon.
Nice. How do you like the ofna throttle? can you send links for the ofna throttle and aluminium linkage?

LST2 shocks are great. They handle jumps better I reckon, I love the look of them aswell. I am running 70w in them atm. 100wt for the revo seems ok. I will be jumping the revo fairly high. Just got myself an LST2 body for the savage, cause the chassis is extended I decided to go a bit bigger body and it is a lot stronger then the other pro-line bodies. Can't wait to get my big joes!
I have 80 weight in my revo shocks and thats fairly stiff. I think the only thing that 100 would do is make it jump around a little more on the smaller bumps. How tall are the big joes? If you go with a tire thats to tall your going to start busting up pushrods, shocks and shock mounts. unless you runn a shorter pushrod to make sure your going to bottom out your truck and not your shocks. I like the long travel rockers thats what I have on mine but they make the truck more tippy so I put super stiff springs and a front sway bar on and now its really insane. Let me know what you think of the big joes man and can you tell me how tall they are? I want to get some bigger tires for mine and throw a bb in it. I just did some reading on the big joes man and there 6 3/8 inches tall!!!!! nice
