Default Just some more newb questions

Thanks everyone for helping me get my savage all ready for some bashing, but first I have some more newb questions. What would be the best body for bashing a savvy 25 , I couldn't careless what it looks like because it will be for pure straight up bashing. I just want the MAXIMUM protection... even though Savages are indestructible.
And my second question is on my brakes. It seems like my savage doesn't have breaks. When I looked up if my savage has brakes it says it does but when I'm running it and I get it rolling and pull the trigger up it just turns off the engine or keeps rolling. Is it sapposed to do that or am I doing somthing wrong or is it the truck. Thanks in advance.

toughest body i got was the hummer..try adjusting ur idle screw first so that when u hit ur brake it wont shut down,then adjust the brake knob by the throttle brake linkage ..if no results try tightening the screws that holds the brake..

Another thing is to put on a center skid plate, it keeps the dirt off the brakes,works wonders

They also prevent this from happening.

That stinger hangs well below the brake.

I got a proline GMC Sierra (similar to crowd pleaser) and it thicker (like someguy said) and provides extra protection for the head over a standard truck body because of the rear strut tower bulges.

Nope, never had a problem with it even before I made a center skid plate for it.
