    Vrooms midtank Savage build

    The shocks come off a Team Losi LST The big monster truck. You either need to make a adapter to fit them to savage or you can go thru FLM, or New Era Models to get the LST Kit. The LST shocks are differently impressive but, for a slightly cheaper route you could just get the HPI Big Bore...

    How-Not-To-Section

    Trying the "cheap" brake mod. "Where you cut the stock servo horn." long story short I cut the wrong end of the horn and made the brakes weaker! Needless to say I brun out the steel rotors all in the same bash session. I said screw and ran the dog #### out of her with no brakes. Went thru 3...

    New Savage Announced

    Sorry I am late to the party, You have to admit but, since the savage x came out it was a pretty good bit of kit. Other than the tank issue. ( It is one of those million dollar questions.) Good to see that hpi does listen to us and threw in the bigbore shocks and a decent radio in...

    Flm tranny forward nitro build opinions?

    I have a FLM forward conversion that I used in a electric conversion on my savage. BUt, then I wanted to go back to nitro and thinking the same thing. I was thinking of being able to make a universal plate so I could go back and fourth from nitro and electric. The only real issue is where...

    How can i start my Savage 25 the easy way?

    It doesn't matter if it is pullstart or roto start. If you don't have the basic down the engine will not start. Some checks to do if hard to start. Check to see if your glow plug heater has enought power or the plug is bad. Check the plug by holding the plug with some pliers and connect...

    MN Savage Racer Project

    Nice build bro, Very clean and looks light and fast. How well does the CB TVP plates hold up? I bash more than race. It is a hard choice considering they cost just as much as the FLM but, they are cooler looking. lol I am more worry about strenght than lightness.

    NOOB Question

    I have a x4.6 as well, the only thing that needs strenght is the spur gear (if yours came with the plastic one.) I would go with a midtank mod. Reason being is the stock one has a tendency to snap internal parts inside. I have gone throught more tanks than fuel! :mushroom: I always feel the...

    Well...The project begins

    I feel your pain in the clutch bell teeth. I had the motor loosen up and eat a two pice spur and almost a soild spur gear. Lesson learned: Always check the motor screws and try to land rubber side down! lol Nice build with some killer shells.

    Youuu might be a noob if....

    you are a noob if you convert your perfectly working savage into a BL. Only to figure out that you could've brought the Flux for what you had spent. I am guilty on this one.
