Building a Savage from a box of bits

[mr havoc]

Bought a job lot from ebay, and with the spares i already have decided to build one from scratch! Progress so far.

Bought another job lot, which should be here next week, more to come🙂

Looking good I've been working on doing the same thing.

It's going good so far, it's just those little bits you don't think of and you find you haven't got or don't find!

Seems like a fun build! Keep the thread updated as you go.

Looking good, if it's the same as me you think you've got everything and then find there's one part missing that you're sure you've got somewhere

It's happen already lol but why not build another with 90% of the extra parts I have.

Almost there !

The engine is a Thunder Tiger S28 and unfortunately the roto start fouls the rear gearbox on the savage, so i have managed to modify a fastrax backplate to use.But need to take to shaft to work on Monday to turn it down on a lathe !

Here's my savage build from a basket case.

Looks like a really good basket case to me. What engine is that?

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

Nice to see all the different builds, mines finally finished.The Thunder Tiger engine runs sweet.

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

Looks killer Mr havoc!

Nice Build!!!

Very nice build. I'm' in a similar situation. I swapped off some Blade helicopter gear for two Savages, a 4.6 and a 5.9 and a pile of parts. The 5.9 is in one piece more or less and the other is a "work in progress" with a lot of aftermarket bits and pieces.... mostly pieces lol. Should be an interesting way to pass away more than a few winter evenings.
