OUCH!
 

Weather was fine, conditions were perfect...... so how did this happen last Saturday at the Oasis on the Oval? OUCH THAT HURTS !

RE: OUCH!
 

Wow that is alot of damage!

RE: OUCH!
 

wow, you must to have run into something head on at full throttle for that to happen. That must to have sucked a fat one..:D

RE: OUCH!
 

it looks like you hit something hard. and you may have had some missing screws, or they could have been loose. your gonna have to take almost the whole truck apart now. what did you hit?

well, this proves plastic is stronger than metal.:D:D:D

RE: OUCH!
 

Daaaaaang!!

RE: OUCH!
 

That is a weak spot on the savage design... It should have some cross bracing up front, or a metal base for the electronics. That is a long distance from the engine/trans plate to the front diff assy w/o strong support.

Not the first time I have seen that on a Savage.

When you rebuild, check on ebay... Someone sells cross braces for that vulnerable part of the design.

Sorry mang!

RE: OUCH!
 

Sorry about your luck but if the electronics work take the front center dogbone out & get a vid of it running. [sm=bananahead.gif]

RE: OUCH!
 

Ouch!![:-] Too bad you didn't get a video.[&o] That had to hurt![:'(]

RE: OUCH!
 

Fix it and leave the chassis bent, I dont call that a crash i call it custom body work.

RE: OUCH!
 

You can still drive it like that, lol. Man thats got to hurt, i would be crying.

RE: OUCH!
 

i dont think you hit something,you jumped it adn it came down on the bumper.ive seen it happen before.funny as hell because im a t-maxx freak.

RE: OUCH!
 

actually my car has gotten so much air before (like 15 feet!) and i didnt land it. and i landed on the bumper and the truck was fine. it drove away after it bounced a few times.

RE: OUCH!
 

ouch dave!!

best stick the picco back in the mt2 then :)



oh and 'Step away from the oval' or maybe it should be renamed 'The OVAL OF DEATH'


maybe


see you this saturday

Andy...

RE: OUCH!
 

Just take off the Vertical plates and stick them in a vice to try and straighten them out. But I don't even know if that will help!

RE: OUCH!
 

I would make some home made titanium braces that supported the plates. They would each be put in between the plates. That would probably fix it.

RE: OUCH!
 

what you could also do is buy the bottom support that goes to support the front of the truck in aluminum. thats the black plastic thing that you have screws going into the side of and bottom of.

RE: OUCH!
 

yea thats what happens when you go big with a savage I have seen them do that trying to jump as big as my stampede does
