The Dragon Savage

[cousingrandpa]

This is the Dragon Savage. I have been working on it for 3 years now & am still finding ways to improve it. The body was painted by Rock Spyder from RCmonsterxtreme. Here are some pics of it.

Yes it's a shelf queen but I have 2 other savages to bash with.

I'm on the lookout for a aluminum radio box.

[mikeh]

That is one nice truck. Three years of tinkering has sure payed off. Looks awesome!

[Bamasavage]

That is one awesome looking truck. :cool:

[Chunky Monkey]

Great looking truck, I'm glad you've posted pics of it again.

[mikey5003]

Awesome rim/tire combo. Sweet looking ride.

[sfarris964]

That is one aswome truck.

[nitro-burner]

WOW thats the nicest savage ive seen...ever.

[cousingrandpa]

Thanks, It's pretty much done exept I would like to find someone who could make an aluminum radio box for it.

[xtreme3]

Very nice man. Quick question for you...how did you get the chrome bumpers to look so...chrome-like?:confused:

[cousingrandpa]

The bumpers on the body are painted with spazstix chrome paint.
The aluminum bumpers are integy, they came all polished up & shiney.

[garagedoorguy]

Amazing, makes me jelous. That paint job is insane.

[4x4]

where did you get all of those cool bits from

[RAFF113]

looks sick

[Wooha]

damn im loving the paint job on that body SON!!! what its sick good go

[trashard]

Now that`s a fine piece of work!!

[cousingrandpa]

Thank's guys, It's about 2.5 years to build & more money than I like to admit.

[david]

That is a cool looking truck,some nice bits on it.

[HPI_Savage25]

wish I had the money to make mine look like that.... is that an aluminum tranny case?? I cant tell

[cousingrandpa]

Yes the tranny case is aluminum. The only piece that is not aluminum or titanium is the radio box & I wish some one would make one.

[bobyru]

can you e-mail a list of your nice truck parts . very, very , nice truck.

[Hoppedup Savage]

where did you buy the roll cage? it looks beefy and like it will hold up to some abuse.

[cousingrandpa]

It's new era.

[Hoppedup Savage]

for 149 dollars my savvy can do with out

[HPI_Savage25]

yep i donn't have that kind of $$$ especially after buying my Trinity fuel at 27.99

[cousingrandpa]

After what I had into it allready I figured it wasn't that much for a show truck.

[jdogg_js_here]

Wow that roll cage is tough they have a pic of a pt cruiser parked on top of the cage. That tells me that you pretty much never have to worry about it breaking.

[slotcartrump]

must have cost a small fortune.
looks great!

[Curt]

what a waste of money

[polystyrene]

what a waste of money

why say stuff like that without any justification.


the truck looks awsome, those are the nicest bumpers i think ive seen for the savage on it

[wullie]

what a waste of money

different strokes for different folks mate. u going to give any reasons for ur opinion or is that all we get??

personally i think its stunning. if someone has the patience to pick out and match all those parts to make a sweet ride like that then credit to them. ur entitled not to like a truck or mod etc but you could atleats be polite about it and maybe give a reason. we civilised people call that manners.

[Fx]

I'm not gonna lie, that truck is the shizz. Way too much aluminum for me but hey the truck looks beast. Have you ever weighed it? If so how much did it weigh? I would also assume you are you a heavy weight shock oil to prevent the trucks shocks from sagging under the weight. Sorry I can't stop thinking about the weight. lol. It's a sick truck and must be worth it's weight in gold.

[Jeremy]

Very nice !!!!!!!! good job !!!!!!!!!!

[4x4]

im the same as Fxstrongside very cool truck.bit too much ally for me. but as i said cool truck + big street cred for bling bling !!!!!!! if you sold it you could get a new car new house and lots more.lol
keep it up
4x4

[[hs] darkshine]

i am gunna say it is not my cup of tea, i really like the shell, but it is the same with any modification, if you like it, and other people don't **** them. i dont like it that much, but i do appreciate that you obviously do, else it wouldn't be the way it is. what i'm trying to say i guess is that as long as you like it, that's all that matters.

[mikeh]

I'm not gonna lie, that truck is the shizz. Way too much aluminum for me but hey the truck looks beast. Have you ever weighed it? If so how much did it weigh?

The truck weighs 74 pounds and cost $26,201 to build.

[R6 DADDY]

wow how much it does look awsome though i wouldnt drive it for fear of scratching it

[cousingrandpa]

Hey guys, thanks. It weighs 16lbs & it took me about 2.5 years to get it to it's current state. It's cool if you like or dislike it, everyone has their own opinions. I have 3 savages & 15 rc's, I don't think 1 shelf queen is unjustified or a waste of money. I have much more money tied up in my Audi & my guitars. He must be jealous to make a comment like that & not say why he feels that way.

[Jeremy]

I dont think you have to worrie about him that much anymore he hasn't been on here latly !!!!

[david]

sour grapes i guess,like a truck like that myself but too busy paying for repairs,must stop jumping.
