    LRP Spec 3 Parts

    Hey all, After a grueling weekend of racing, I am looking into rebuilding my Spec 3. I looked around to see who carries piston and sleeves but no one does. What does bother me is that Tower state the Piston & Sleeve set is discontinued. I couldn't even find the parts on the LRP site. I have...

    08' Racer

    Senitro, Yes the pipe does fit tight. To help prevent the pipe from running to much I used a heat guns the handle of a glow plug wrench to make a pocket in the side of the body. I didnt need much to allow better fitment. Check out the 4th picture down with the body on. You can see the dimple...

    Blazer, Yes those are FLM shock towers but I cut .25" off of the top of the to lower te mounting of the body. The LST shock set up I helped you with worked great last year but am trying something new. I used the rear shocks for an losi 8t on all four corners of the savage. If this setup...

    Does your LHS support the Savage?

    My shop used to support the savage heavily, but lately it has been transitioning to more support for Losi 8 & 8t, Revo's, Associated 8. Since the shop has a track and host offroad racing, he doesn't see many savages around except for our racers. Pretty much my teammates are the only customers...

    08' Racer

    With not having to work and the weather being crappy I thought it would a great time to stat mocking up the savage. The first thing to do was upgrade the mid tank plate. The tank plate that comes with the kit is great but I wanted something more. Using the existing hole locations from the...

    08' Racer

    Thyrfing, You a have good point. Most of the forums for Savage are for bashing and I wouldn't want to use CF for that. For racing 4mm CF would work great. One issue is the cost of CF plates. I was going to make my own chassis plate for our team but for a .125 (3mm approx) x 6.0 x 30.00 plate...

    08' Racer

    Hey All, I decided to post my 08 Racer build due to the persuasion of my buddies. We have seen on several forums more drivers being bitten by the racing bug after bashing their truck for so long. I’m doing this for several reasons. Two major reasons are to give new drivers enough...
