Thanks Fred.

The sealing was easy. Just took a steady hand and alot of time. Still have a few parts to seal.

I'm interested as well. Larson said he had no issues with them but they were a bit of a pain getting them to line up on the skid plate.

Also the braces had to be modded as well. There are two pins on the bottom that had to be sanded away to get them to work.

I notice that with all all his parts, even though they are of high quality, still require some fudging to fit properly.

This build I want to do right so I'm talking my time with it.

I have all winter anyway to build so I'm not worried. As long as I'm up and running for the spring.

 

[kvnnets]

Now I may have to rethink some of my build.

Getting some d8 shocks. Now I need some LCG shock towers and a few other pieces.

The build will be delayed a bit now. But I'm sure it will be worth it.

 

[kvnnets]

Well, I think it's time to complete this build finally.

I have ordered a bunch of parts and as they start coming in I will take pics and post them.

Hopefully I will be done by the end of the month cause we are having a bash session next month with some of my Canadian Brothers.

Truck is looking good!!! some nice parts...

I really wanted to run the 23mm hexes but they don't do an SHD axle yet do they? The only ones are the flux and XL axles, but they cant utilise the 23mm hex...

Oh well my SPIs are 17mm so ill stop complaining

Actually, Those are mounted on the Flux Axles.

 

[J1A1H]

Really??? How is that???

 

[kvnnets]

Really??? How is that???

If you look at the 23mm hexes you see there is a hole through them.

So basically you start mounting them like you would the 17mm hexes with the pin and all. then to keep them on you use the a nut that you would use for 14mm hexes. HPI86066.

 

[kvnnets]

So here's the first of the parts to show up.

These are the Hotbodies d8t shocks. They look great.

 

[J1A1H]

uh huh! great! Ill get some proline 23mm hexs... these are not compatible with baja wheels and tires though are they as they are 24mm???

No, but HPI make some 24mm hexes that you can use on your savage to run baja tires.

part # HP 102530

Thanks,

I found it at a place called Hobby Hobby. They only had a couple in.

+1 for Hobby Hobby went there last week to get some stuff they had every thing on my list...

 

[kvnnets]

Another Quick Update.

Some of my parts have come in.....

First off is a Motor Saver Outer Filter.

Next is a Proline Downforce wing.

Then we have the header pipe that Purenitro ( Robin ) recommended to me for the EMRC pipe that I have on order.

Last we have the PRC LCG shock towers and wing stay. Thanks Jason.

Waiting on a few more items so I can finally finish this build and be up and running very soon.

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Looking good Kevin..
I have the same 1 piece header as that, very good ..

 

[Mickey]

hope you get that thing running for our bash weekend i want to see that truck go

 

[kvnnets]

Glad to hear great things about that header pipe.

I'm really trying to get it done. Still need a TX/RX and waiting for Robin to get better so he can complete my Pipe.

 

[88gtanotchback]

glad to see things are moving again for ya. great looking build.

 

[kvnnets]

A couple of other things showed up.

Going back o the original savage arms:

GH Servo Saver:

And the HPI sway bar kit:

 

[TRTC360]

great build man, looks great, but quick question, why go back to the orignal a-arms instead of the RPM ones??

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

I'm still running my stock arms after 2 years nothing has broke ..

A lot less fussing with them. And the stock arms are just as strong.

 

[JESTUS]

I put my truck on the scale this past Saturday at the LHS and it was 10lbs 13oz without the electronics. Not sure what a savage weighs out the box but it would be nice to see.

 

[nitroguy]

have you tried that GH Servo Saver yet and how did it do?
