NitroN8's Project XL

Nitro Nate · Mar 23, 2015

I recently took in an X and a xl second hand. The x I am planning on selling but the XL I'm undergoing a major face lift. I have a new rubicon body for it, remote and best of all a LRP .30 engine. I'll post pics as I go.

Do you have any more pictures?

Nitro Nate · Apr 2, 2015

Sorry for the huge delay guys! I'm a truck driver and I'm just now getting a chance to do this. I've attached my xl as I got it, my r/c tools section on my peg bored at home and a new remote. More to come...

Got the 5.9 out. Which is now for sale

Nitro Nate · Apr 2, 2015

Looks like the flywheel and clutches had a little wear on them lol

Nitro Nate · Apr 2, 2015

Getting it all ready for the big day

Nitro Nate · Apr 2, 2015

Now for the moment we've all been waiting for! LRP ZR.30 pull start engine install. Got it all fired up. Just FYI if you don't have the clutch puller it's super easy with 2 screwdrivers.

I got a jeep wrangler body for it too

Nitro Nate · Apr 2, 2015

Painted it to match my pickup.

My two Savages. The white Savage X is for sale

heck no. .30 is a little over 5cc. the .28 is a 4.6cc engine, the 32 is 5.9(I think)

Jr. · Apr 6, 2015

Looks great!

I would suggest a little shoe goo in the corners of that body to keep it from cracking

It's been my experience, particularly with SUV bodies that are more square, that they crack badly in the corners. Pickups crack behind the cab usually.

Shoe GOO,

Placed in the inside corners, helps beef the body tremendously.
