    Help I'm stuck!

    Thanx jam racing, I seen a post a few years ago with the tank and radio box where between the tvps. I've had no real problems with running alloy arms, as long as I use the hip caster blocks. This an old .21 savay that I've had a lot of fun beating on.

    Does anyone else want an x ss roller? No motor, no electronics, no painted body. I do! Seems like the old savy before the x kit was available in a model like this. Does anyone know where I can find this?

    Ofna jp 4

    Been thinking of a buku pipe but they have been out of stock for a long time. I have two manifolds I think I'm going to use an old .21 savy with a sleeve instead of the spring mount. I think can change my mounting options this way.

    Ofna jp 4

    Took a 2 year break from the hobby. But ready to jump back in, looking at a jp4 I picked up and thinking of savy pipe.. I know the manifold is wrong and the pipe is built for left side mount but....I will make it fit anyone else tried one? Does anyone make a better flowing savy manifold?
