lol this is the reciever box
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u85/puckamahow/winterbuild019.jpg

don't laugh now....it's paid for...haha!
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u85/puckamahow/winterbuild020.jpg

Losi would be proud to see thier shocks and custom fabed reciever box on a SAVAGE!
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u85/puckamahow/winterbuild021.jpg

Had to get creative with the fail safe as the servo cable wasn't long enough....
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u85/puckamahow/winterbuild022.jpg

was thinking of the paddles but was also thinking deep snow would kill this quick....so packed snow and 6 to 8 inches of powder here and there this is what I have!
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u85/puckamahow/winterbuild023.jpg

with these in the hot bodies 7 inchers....a 5/8 stud with 15 on each tire
http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u85/puckamahow/winterbuild024.jpg

For the bead locks I have a differant idea...i'm gonna try to bold some 1/2 channel aluminum around the treads from the inside to give the tire hopefully like a paddle track effect...then try it in the powder with some custom fabed side gaurds and such if these work would also like to go to a water proof system for the servos....unless someone can tell me how to water proof what I have....thanks for the replies guys this beast should be operational by tonight and videos by the weekend....i'm tryin to git er done but im not a good typer so updates on the comp take the longest.....lol jk...

MORE TO COME.....Leon
