Thanks rcnitrohead, This is what it looked like earlier today, the axel nut that holds the 23mm hex adapter on keep coming off. So after the 3rd time I gave up. All fixed now, and all cleaned up. Hey pythonfan I took it throw everything today, dirt, tall grass, rocks and stone no damage at all. Funny you should ask, but I think I'm running the same flywheel you are the Associated Monster GT 3-Shoe Vented Flywheel with the Dynamite Max-life shoes. I'm also running the OFNA Pilot nut, which the spring fit in perfectly. Oh the shoes are trailing. Everything is locking up perfectly now[sm=thumbs_up.gif]. ThunderbirdJunkie it's plastic crafting film, pretty strong, and also sticky on the one side. I just peel it back when i have to remove the tire, then just stick back. It sticks back as good as the first time. pythonfan mine sounds almost as good as yours!

that's my engine setup right there, without the ofna nut tho i use the hpi, i had to run the shoes leading cause of hpi's nut. so i get a little extra pop but hey who doesn't like that? I'm still running the hpi pipe, the only thing i did to the pipe was drill out the stinger so its open now. want to get a new pipe tho looking at your setup or this.
(well hpi took the link off there site, it was to a line of hop ups from a new company who was making a pipe just for the savage a nice upgrade pipe)

I havent been here in a while and i have to say there are some nice trucks posted up

Heres my HPI Savage sorry for the bad pics but my camera is broken []

Current mods are:

SH .28

HPI 3 speed tranny

Current gearing: 19/47

Werks flywheel and carbon clutch shoes

Hitech metal gear servo

Dynamite 23 mm hex

Proline Cheyenne wheels

Hot bodies tuned exhaust

RPM center skid plate

I ordered my CEN GST big bore shocks,

and im currently saving up money to get a Spektrum dx2 radio

Im switching the Rotostart with a pull start (i find it more reliable)

and im getting a HPI filter for my engine.


after all this is done might get a carbon tvp set and do a center fuel tank mod.

imo man i would run the c10, yes its a nice bod but see it this way man, you did all that nice work on it, but whats the point if no one is gonna see it? the main thing a body does is to protect the truck, if it looks good show it run the truck. i know guy who have show bodies and basher lids, and there now running them as just reg bods, but there work is way better. so run the c10, its only sole purpose is to protect the truck, so why not show it off man.

well here is the first vid of getting it to start, if you look you can see the fuel spitting out the back of the motor, the manifold coupler i put on is to small and so it was not air tight so when running i did have an air leak but if you watched it by temps you would never have known, vid 2 will be the better one, lots of action. no jumps as it was getting late fast but i think you guys will like it.

This is the second Savage I have seen with exhaust routed like that. How bad does that choke down the engine? The other one had a rubber or plastic hose routed to the rear. BB
