Hi guys glade to have found this site, After recently buying a new Savage X for 100 bucks i am now hooked on the nitro savages. Always been a clod and mad force guy.
The Savage X part of the story, well I just got the X summer mainly because it was so cheap! I was shocked to find out it was brand new maybe used once origial body and everything! Another big reason I bought her was it came with jumbo swamp kong tires also new witch i was looking for at the time. When I saw it in person my eyes almost popped out, I planned to use the big tire for a different build for obivous reason's. But when I saw the condition of the truck I was truly shocked.(I can only gess the jumbo tires made it a shelf queen for its entire life) Oh well lucky me hehehe
So i took the tires as planned for a project, and gave the X to my pops as a gift, we have been Having a blast with it ever since and it runs great. We have since switched out the roto to pull start and added a rr 52/14 gear set. Also some purple billet parts for added bling and performance, like rear caster lock blocks, front knuckles steering crank setup and bulkhead braces, oh ya a fuel cap too hehe
Onto the XL, ya so the X runs so nice and was such a blast to build I had to get another just for myself, as most know they are not currently on sale for a while now! So I set a budget to build a better XL from scratch, heres what I got so far
Carbon XL chassi
billet steering crank
Billet rear caster block lockouts
Billet front caster hubs (purple)
billet throttle crank and fuel tank mounts
Billet bulk head braces x2
Kyosho ke25 engine
RR 47/16 spure/pinion
Rear dual exhaust pipe
yeah race engine mounts
Ofna linkage setup
integy three shoe flywheel/clutch
New hpi three speed box and dual disc brake
Hardend front drive
kyosho 1/8 hardened helical diffs
Rc best CVD shafts all around
Imex jumbo rims
Pro line or Imex maxx tires
New ebay partout oem parts include
orange billet flux parts/ XL engine mount
flux composite bulks/shock towers
New x/xl radio box
Still need a fuel tank, a xl size body and bumpers f/r
Also need a handfull of oem screws and little parts but am waiting on a few in the mail the rest i have yet to source, they are so hard to get parts for.
I will try to post pics when i have extra time to take some first.
Look forward to hearing from you savage experts
Cheers
