yea its just what i have available right now while i gather the funds as i go. the hellfires belong on a hellfire not a savage imo cant handle the wieght atleast stock anyways, I'm sure with different springs they would do fine but id rather just go one step further and get the jammin shocks for the front aswel.
when i do get them tho the suspension is set up to sit with the arms perfectly level.
 
its almost ready to be tested... just waiting on my shock springs and wheel nuts to show up in the mail

thanks guys, got my second set of x2 shocks in.
also a few updates

i sold the MMM motor 🙁
but there is a good reason to this, the motor mounts i had striped out so i have to order a new set, with me doing this i do not feel like moding the new mounts to work with the castle MMM like i did with the last set soooo I'm going to buy the flux TORK version of the MMM 🙂
 
thanks guys

body shots!

new pics for a "newly" born truck

haven't updated this in a while but i took the truck to the track last friday to have its maiden voyage..... i ran it for about 3 mins as i knew it was not ready to be run. IE nothing loctited etc...
but the truck HAULS.
with it as stock savage flux you grab a finger full of full throttle the truck would flip right over or do a backflip, WELL at the track i did the exact same thing full throttle starts, the front tires didn't lift AT ALL! the truck squatted a little and hauled butt altho it wouldn't turn for poop, but i later found out that my servo saver was messed up along with me forgeting the scew for the servo arm :duh:

after seeing the huge difference this truck is going to be amazing when it comes to race day...

also, finally did the deed and opened up the diffs and put the real truggy outdrives in since because in the rear i couldn't set the camber right as the cups were not right.. all is good now i also filled the front diff with 20k and the rear has 7k, i believe i filled the center with 7k aswel.


another thing i decided I'm going to TRY is the plastic center diff gear from the 8T. I'm doing this for a few reason, the plastic spur is much smoother, along with quieter... i hate the noise the flux makes with the metal to metal so this should solve that. also its much cheaper to replace a $8 plastic gear compared to a $12-15 pinion gear. also cheaper to change out a $8 spur if i want to up a tooth or go down a tooth.
this is what i got

now if this gear wont fit the x2 diff cup i also ordered a 8T diff cup 😀

vid will be hear possibly next friday, I'm waiting for my new spur gears to come so i can put the truck back together as i disassembled it to locktie everything, fix the servo saver, and rebuild the diffs with truggy outdrives.
 
well i ended up makeing a few changes... major one was a esc relocation. i fabed up my own mount from behind the motor out of plexi glass and used the traxxas esc hold down.
