Here are some pictures of my Savage after I mid tanked it using IRC parts with CEN radio box and Mugen fuel tank.
I hope you guys like it and I have included a picture with a old lid from a savage 21 I use for bashing...

I like the savage 21 lid colours even tho most people hate them!!
Only downfall about the mid tank for me is that I now have 2 Drummerguy101 cages that dont fit my truck :duh:

Great build there. Sure you will like the IRC tvps. Those are the standard tvps right?

TPV's are Innovative RC TPV's ext 6mm in the front to allow CEN Radio box to fit without the need for cutting.
And thank you everyone for the good comments and rep's :resp:
Ran the truck today and managed to snap a dogbone and strip a spurr gear :duh:

Cool, Ive' got the ext. front and rear. Think Iv'e got everything rounded up to do the mid tank just gotta get started. I do think the longer tvps make the truck handle better. Again nice build.

The ext TPV's will help with the handling but I love wheelies, also I got the TPV set quite cheap as I won them on a ebay auction, so only paid half of what they cost direct from IRC..:santa:

The DX3S is the first non stock radio I have had,
I love the amount of features it has, and find the telemetry gives a good overview of how the engine is performing.
A lot of guys on here say it looks and feels cheap! but it does what I want it to do, I dont think I could cope without it now.
Take a look at this link http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPM3130 it shows what the DX3S has to offer.
