MY TRUCK HAS THE RED BRONCO BODY ON IT........

[Hoppedup Savage]

nice... i would hate to have to clean up after that!!!

[HPI_Savage25]

that's one thing I don't do is drive ine in water or mud!

[TH3180]

Nice pics driven in mud is great fun you just have to make sure things are sealed up 1st

[trashard]

now that`s action!
I think you guys needed at least one day to clean them up again!
doesn`t the suspension wear out extremely fast?
I drove my savvy in the mud once and I heard some weird grinding sounds coming out of the suspension afterwards.
I took it off both front and rear and cleaned them with silicone spray first and then degreased it with disc brake cleaner.
I know that silicone spray must sound a little crazy to all of you but it `flushes` all the sand and mud out of most places you can`t reach with a brush or a piece of cloth.
after cleaning always use disk brake cleaner to degrease it, disc brake cleaner is a lot cheaper than rc car cleaner but it`s basically the same stuff, it also smells the same.
the pics look cool but I ain`t gonna drive my savvy in such conditions!
I`m not afraid to give my savvy a serious beating but what you show here is a little too much for me!!

[Chaos]

LOL..we all built these trucks to with stand extreme bashing...we do and try anything with these trucks.To go in the water everything was water proofed,including all servo's,reciever's,wd-40 was sprayed on everything BEFORE we go in the nud...this helps the mud NOT stick to evrything.i've got more pics here..i will post them of other things we try.

-Joe

[trashard]

I`ll try the wd 40 as soon as my suspension needs to be rebuilt.
I never used any lubricants on places where dirt can build up in my car but if the wd 40 helps I`ll be spraying some mud myself!!!
It does look cool.
here in holland it rains almost 364 out of 365 days so there will be a lot of mudblasting around here then.

[jdogg_js_here]

Only problem I see there is walking into the mud to flip your truck back over. My luck I would slip and fall on my butt. Now that would be embarassing

[trashard]

well, you can`t make an omelet without breaking the eggs!
you`ll probably get your savvy stuck in the mud so you have to step into it anyway.
A little mud won`t kill you nor will the embarassment.
at least you`ll know what your savvy feels!!

[jdogg_js_here]

True, But then I have to clean the savage, the car seats and me:eek: . Then I would end up cleaning more then playing:mad: , so I would have to try it again:D

[trashard]

well, when I see savageo28`s pics I can only think #### I wanna do that too!
I got my own place but I can`t store a washing machine cause it`s kinda small so my mom does my washing for me.
That`s one problem solved!!

[Hoppedup Savage]

i wouldnt like to have to clean that up. you would cause more harm than fun doing that anyway. atleast i think so.

[HPI_Savage25]

a lot of mud and stuff would get in ur tranny and stuff wouldn't it.. think about the airfilters and brakes! sry but too much -'s than +'s!

[Chaos]

well it's not like i'm telling you to do this....this is just some pics of stuff.WE do...you want to drive in circle in a parking lot ...go right ahead thats totally up to you.Some of us like to take these things to the limit......so don't sit there compaining about this and that............

[HPI_Savage25]

I mean it looks like alot of fun but I don't know since i'm 13 and paid for it myself new and all the parts so I don'tr wanna mess it up.

[Chaos]

i totally under stand......and by the way congrats on buying it your self at such a young age....my self i'm 40 years old lol...and i can't believe how much money this hobby takes from a person...but i love it..it's a relaxing time to go out and bash around for a couple of hours with nothing bugging you and the smell of nitro in the air.

-Joe

[HPI_Savage25]

thanks it took a lot of saving and alot of grass cutting. lol!

[Chaos]

i bet it did...LOL..dam at 13 i couldn't come up with lunch money half the time...let alone a nitro savage......LOL

[HPI_Savage25]

me and my dad cut grass over the summer we each profit about $1000 a summer

[jdogg_js_here]

wow, at 13 I was lucky if I was able to make $100 a summer

[HPI_Savage25]

well that was last summer we have only cut 4 yards in 2 months..... man it sure is slow this summer! I don't like it either. lol

[Chaos]

go around town with a couple bags of fertileizer at night......get those lawns a growing....LOL

[HPI_Savage25]

yeah that would definitly work .. until I came to someone's house that had a camera..

[jdogg_js_here]

yeah that would definitly work .. until I came to someone's house that had a camera..

you just have to wear a ski mask so they cant tell its you:rolleyes: or put pantyhose over your head

[Kevindc754]

how can you drive the savage in the mud ,snow , water ect without get the radio all messed up...

[Chaos]

I water proof it...first i dip the reciever in a silicone dip(hold it by the wire and the silicone will seal around it when it dries)..then i took the servo savers off the servo and installed a small rubber o-ring over the gear ,then stuck the saver back on..squishing the o-ring to make a seal....i also hava a charge lead to charge the hump pack...so i seal the radio box with silicone also..then BEFORE i hit the mud..i spray the whole truck down in WD-40....that way the mud won't stick quite so bad.

-Joe

hope that helped....cheers

[Cajunbasher]
