    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    The 528 is finicky to tune on anything but 25%. That is what it is set up for from the factory I believe. I use O'Donnel medium heat plugs too. I think it came with a hot plug and I couldn't get it to idle right. I had to set the LSN REALLY rich to get rid of detonation and that caused it to...

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    I haven't had much $$$ to spend on R/C this year, so I haven't been bashing much. No vids yet, but hopefully next summer. I'm out of fuel and not buying another jug now. I actually went all summer without spending ANYTHING on R/C! It was HARD! lol

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    The stock shocks work well and are really cheap to replace. I have only ever broken one anyway. I had a Savage Flux with the big bores and they were nice, but I like the 8 shock look better.

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    Like a bat out of hell! lol. I'm not running LST shocks anymore though. They are too mushy and they made the truck harder to control. I also had to limit my steering range with the 40 series tires because they would rub on the shocks. I'm using stock shocks with 20 wt Team Associated silicone...

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    Thanks. The Novarossi is insane! It revs higher than a stock Picco .28 as far as I can tell. It was clocked at 40mph just before it went airborne! lol. I found the Nova on a local classified site brand new for $225 Canadian (~$200US), so it didn't really cost me any more than a Picco .28 or LRP...

    The tank didn't break at the seam. It cracked right along the bottom edge.

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    I don't think mine touches the plate either. I just think the weight of a full tank of fuel was to much to contain. It landed upside down on the rear left corner from 10ft in the air, so the shocks weren't able to absorb the landing! lol. I'm thinking it was just a fluke. I will try and think of...

    I was thinking about putting foam tape or something under the tank to help absorb impacts. Did you put the rubber under the mounting screws?

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    I landed my savy upside down from about 10ft in the air with a full tank (OFNA 250cc) and the tank cracked open along the bottom. I'm thinking the weight of the fuel ripped the tank apart on impact? I bought another on Ebay, but if this happens again I will switch tanks. The OFNA is pretty thin...

    Savys Build

    Nice looking Savage, but you need to do some tweaking on that rear camber and front toe!

    Fx's Twisted Toyz Mid-Tank

    Integy never fails to disappoint. I like the Badlands tires, but they look too small on a Savage IMO. I wish they made 40 series Badlands that were still reasonably lightweight. I like the 40 series Mulchers, but they are discontinued. Even those look small on an extended savage.

    Yeah. black windows don't work on a black body. It just looks like you were too lazy to put the window masks on! lol. I leave my windows clear on black bodies.

    Thanks. The windows are Outlaw Black like the bed.

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    Thanks. I'm happy with how the build turned out. I want to get some good pics with the new 40 series Masher tires before I trash the body! lol

    FLM makes servo mounts I believe. You can also use RC10GT servo mounts or Integy.

    IRC ships FOR FREE from England and I had my stuff in about 10 days. It doesn't get much better than that!

    MY IRC 1"+6mm LCG CHASSIS+MID TANK KIT+LST SHOCK BUILD

    Either they are out of stock or they discontinued the black anodized version. I think they are just out of stock. You can email the owner and ask him if he will be getting more in. I know he doesn't stock many anodized sets, so you have to be quick to order when they are in stock. The owners...

    Those are Hot Bodies "heatsink" chassis braces. I'm not sure how much heat they are exposed to down there, but they look good! lol. They came with the X SS kit I bought on Ebay along $300+ worth of KO Propo servos, the HPI savage suspension conversion set, HPI universal shafts with 17mm hub...
