    Motor Re-Build Question

    Hey Guys!! Long time no read or write!! Just been way too busy unfortunately. I have a question for you all. After a total dumb-*** move thinking that the screw on the end of the crank that holds the clutch bell in place was loose, I tried tightening it only to have it break off. So I've...

    LST Shocks

    Sweet!! Thanks X!! Also thanks for the abbreviation updates too!! I would still like to see those pictures there Bankrupter if you can find them. I think I'm going to phone my LHS right now and get a set of shocks on the way. Does everyone else find this a decent upgrade over the stock shocks?

    LST Shocks

    I was just lookin at jcam54's build with the lst shocks and I was wondering what does the adapter plate on the lower a-arm do? Is there any reason why you can't mount to the existing shock mount on the lower a-arm or does the shock hit something?

    LST Shocks

    Does anyone know if or how you can get the LST shocks to fit on the RPM a-arms for the Savage X 4.6? If so where can I get the adapter plate for the a-arms? Is there anything that you need to do on the shock tower or do they just bolt on?

    brake upgrade

    Go with the dual stainless. I had the dual fiber ones and that truck would not stop for the life of it. Smashed one of the disc's on a bad landing and upgraded to the dual stainless, now the truck with stop on a dime with 9 cents change.

    Ofna Tank vs. Mid-Tank

    Do you really have to get new TVP's to do the mid-tank? Will the Hellfire fuel tank work for the mid-tank mod?

    Ofna Tank vs. Mid-Tank

    I'm contemplating doing a fuel tank upgrade on my 4.6 X RTR and checking out my options. I'm wondering what everyone thinks is better: Ofna Tank or Mid-Tank and why.

    X 4.6 RTR brakes

    I had the same problem with my brakes when I got it, they sucked!! I eventually did like what Whipnet suggested on pg. 1, upgraded the steering servo and put the steering servo for the throttle/brake, got a hump pack, did the Ofna throttle/brake upgrade, I upgraded to the Dual Disk Stainless...

    braking/throttle linkage hop up kit

    Hey Whipnet, what's that piece that is bolted on just above the frame brace, below the tranny? Is it a tranny brace of some sort?

    3 speed question

    I've looked through some old posts but still can't quite find what I need. I have an X 4.6 RTR and am comtemplating upgrading to the 3 speed. Is the 3 speed really worth it? Now if it is worth it should I buy the parts or just buy the assembled tranny? Thanks for your help.

    De- anodizing

    If you have access to a sandblaster, then blast the heck out of everything and it gives a rough, silvery, textured finish that looks real good in my opinion. Then you don't have to deal with all the nasty chemicals/fumes that goes along with using the oven cleaner. I put my X 4.6 RTR on a...
