Okay, let me just start by saying I do not have the parts yet... I am just trying to save space, and only make one thread for my questions and build (once I get the parts for X-mas/B-day).
My plans for my savage are to keep it a cheap, yet beastly racer/basher (the closest track is 40 minutes away...). I will be giving it a full budget treatment over the next two months (my birthday is in January) that will include FLM extended low cg TVP's, a mid tank conversion, and just the other standard upgrades. I will be keeping the stock engine until it dies, or I see a real need for a new one, which will be a Axial .28. Please bare with me as I will have a lot of questions today, and tomorrow while I attempt to sort out what I need, and don't need for this. Please do not suggest parts that will dramatically alter the price, because I do not want to be tempted. Also, PLEASE post, and share any thoughts or opinions you have since I need to inform my dad of my choices so that he can order this, and still have time for it to arrive before Christmas; I need to send him the links for everything tomorrow night.
This is my list of parts I am planning on buying as of now, please feel free to suggest something else, but try (crosses fingers) to keep the price minimal.
FLM extended TVP's- you all know what these do...
FLM mid tank mount- mid tank mod done easy. Question: Can you mount the steering servo on this up side down?
HB D8 fuel tank, 150cc?- fuel tank for mid tank mod... duhh
ZO1B radio box- Planning on making a L bracket out of some thick plastic I found in my neighbor's recycle, and mounting the box facing sideways to allow the steering servo room... and just to be different.
Receiver/servo pack, 1600mah- already have
Shock make over- Limiting (how much should I limit them?), new oil (what viscosity?), and possibly new springs: do I need them?
Associated servo mounts- would these work for the engine-side servo mod?
Web Page Name
RC screwz screw kit- I live by the ocean
6x10 bearings- steering rack bearings Web Page Name
Revo 3.3 harddrive body- should be perfect fit, and is racy!
Associated RC8/T wing mount/wing- what kind of bracket do I need to make to mount this fit on the stock shock tower?
RPM center skid plate- looks sweet, and works well
Dynamite 086- looks great, works great
Even though you all know what a stock savage looks like, I will post pictures of mine any way....
Btw, I can't get over the smiles on this forum... just great
