Ok so i just realized that I have been a member of this fourm for over two years now and have hardly ever posted any pics of my savage. This is far from a build thread, more of a break and fix thread. My savage is not used every day or every week, more like once or twice a year, sometimes more. So here is a little history of my 25 Savage.
Moved to SLC for a while for school, worked with a kid who thought he knew car audio. He had a Savage that rarely ever got used due to being broke all the time (him and the Truck). Well I got the bug after being around it a few times and had my eyes set on a new SS kit. Well he decided that he wanted part of the audio system that I had, and i told him that I would make a trade. I never knew he would go through with the deal. So a week after making the proposal i had the savage in hand. Played hard with the thing but never could get it to run right. I finished off the bottle of White Lighting that he had been using and went the the hobby store and picked up a different brand after talking to the guy and describing some of the problems i was having. So new fuel in hand i went home and beat the crap out of the truck. Everything was good to go.
Moved back to the South and set the truck up on the shelf for a couple of years until i got the itch again, still running the .25 HPI paper weight it never was right. About two years later I had my fill with the motor after it started pouring fuel from behind the fly wheel. Invested $230.00 or so into a LRP Z.28 and some new accessories to go with it.
A year later here we are, still starting on the third pull, and having a heck of a time keeping the nose on the ground.
So i have had the truck for a total of about 6 years and have ran it more in the last year with the new motor than the 5 years before combined. I will now attach some pics for your viewing pleasure.
