:hardlaugh: That is great, to bad there wasn't video of that. What kind of deal did you get?

[k0m0d067]

SWEET!!! Spinners on the Hot Bodies fireball wheels!! doesn't get much more pimped than that!!

heck, it looks like all you really need to fix her up is a new bulk and chassis brace and radio/servo box...

RC's aren't for him if he gave it up that easily. My truck could explode and I would just build another one.

what are you gonna do with the wasp
nice carnage

probably gonna keep the wasp,i have a xtm mammoth roller waiting for a motor

or if somebody has a decent .25 with a roto-start back plate and a few bucks i might make a swap

[94lightning]

as far as my buddy goes,its just a long story,he started with a xtm x-factor and it broke all the time,so he got fed up and i told him take your radio gear out and your new motor and buy a savy roller,so after all the trouble he does that and this happens i guess it was just the straw for the camels back

[94lightning]

oh yeah and the spinners and rims are not my style at all,they will be going on e-bay soon

[X25]

i have a junk wasp .28 with a good case and turbo head if you would be interested

[94lightning]

nah i need something running so i can stick it in this xtm,..im thinking of using the wasp,but im worried it will probably kill the drivetrain

That is EXACTLY what I did a year ago...

Foolish as I was, I built a jump on a snowbank right next to a telephone pole in my driveway, after several successful jumps, I was getting more gutsy, and I missed the jump, slamming straight into the pole with my 1 month old Savage 25 limited..

Although, I had more luck it seems, I just broke my "roll bar", the engine mount, the engine mount plate, the aluminum engine mount braces, the plastic spur gear and the front plate, also, the exhaust was a bit dented...

Btw, looks painful... Did your friend manage to hold back the tears?

you lookin for anything in the way of trades for the wheels and spinners?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that made the mistake of running too close to a telephone pole...sounds like I was much luckier than the rest, though. I came off a jump wide open and hit the pole in mid-air as well, but I was lucky in that I was a little off center. The front right wheel hit VERY hard, and the only thing I did was knock the steering off. Lucky me...sorry to the rest of you that weren't so lucky!

Jt's stump has attributed to quite a bit of damage to my truck, also. We WILL finish off that stump someday...

i might what kind of stuff do you have?

[k0m0d067]

I honestly have a little bit of everything (Savage related anyway)...let me know what types of items you'd be interested in, and we can work something out maybe...

I would like the nova shock mounts.
