    ShOrTaY's Ultimate Basher Project

    If you are going to use the FLM Hybrid Bulkheads, then that alminum FLM steering link is REQUIRED. The plastic HPI link will not fit around the FLM Hybrid Bulkhead ... ask me how I know, lol.

    Site Jester's Nova Review

    Wouldn't hurt to use all-new parts. You've got it all apart, might as well, right? A pair of bearings are cheeeeeep!

    FLM Bulkheads

    SJ - I'm thinking that the FLM towers would fit pretty nicely. They would be heavier than the HPI plastic towers, though. When I built my truck, I also had to do some trimming on the HPI XSS towers in order to make them fit correctly. Just trim 'em down a little at a time 'till it's just...

    New Goliath Bashing Tires

    Depends on what engine & gearing he is running. I am running the same tires with 15/49 gears, a 3-speed and a RB TM928. Once the engine gets up to 260* or so ... lookout! My truck can put itself on its lid with no problem - powers right over the HPI wheeliebar like it wasn't even there. I...

    FLM Bulkheads

    HopIt - in the pm you sent, you asked about the uprights that I used. I did use the HPI suspension upgrade kit ... well, most of the kit. I just de-anodized everything and then polished all the aluminum. I don't like purple. There is NO purple goofy-ness happenin' on my SAVAGE. How do you...

    FLM Bulkheads

    I just read your PM HopIt. You need the FLM drag link to get things all together. I just happen to have a pic of said part. It is the aluminum part between the towers. The part number is "FLM4800". Also - while you have your truck apart, you should replace the 4 plastic bushings that the...

    3 speed trans tune

    hhmmmmm ... remove a snap ring? When I make the 1-2 adjustment, first I remove the 2-3 clutch (2mm hex required) from the shaft. To remove the 2-3 clutch, remove the hex set screw and the hex shaft screw that is then exposed under the hex set screw. Now the 2-3 clutch will slide off the shaft...

    3 speed trans tune

    The XSS has an "easy access" transmission case. You just have to... push the air filter aside. Then remove the pipe from it's forward mount. On each side of the truck there are 4 screws that go throught the TVP's and into the Transmission. Remove the 2 top screws on each side. Next, there are...

    the new 3speed gears help

    I have heard/read that the new HPI High Speed third gear kit does not go together correctly. You are probably followong the instructions correctly. The parts just do not fit together. Contact HPI.

    At The Park

    I completely forgot about this video. I was cleaning up my laptop & ran across it. It's from this past summer - before I switched the engine out to the STS .30. I am running the TM928 now ... I'll have to make a few new vid's. Anyhow, check it out ...

    My Mid-Tanked XSS

    LOL - chicks dig "DEATH PROOF" because of the end! My favorite part is the scene when the Kurt Russell character is leaving the bar with the blonde. She hops in the car. As Russell walks around to the driver's door, the girls in the other car drive past. They are all hootin' & hollerin'...

    My Mid-Tanked XSS

    I think the tires make it look wider than a stock SAVAGE. The HPI suspension kit is the normal width - same as any other SAVAGE. The shocks make the difference. Not only do they work great, they make the truck look bigger. As for seeing any difference between my suspension setup and a stock...

    My Mid-Tanked XSS

    Wow - that is very flattering, FXSS. I'd have to think about that. Thanks for the compliments everyone. This Black Chevy shell took me 2 days to do. The lettering, Skull & scallops are waaaay more time consuming than I thought they'd be. After that insane paint job on the VW shell (3...

    My Mid-Tanked XSS

    Here's that "something else" ... this was going to be a "Mini Me" for my 1:1 1970 K10, but things went another way. Everybody digs Quentin Tarantino, right? *edited to remove a duplicate photo*
