finally mid tanked.

[Dreadnaught]

well, finally got around to mid-tanking my savage.

i used 2 blue ofna slider kids, rpm rc10gt radio box, racers edge aluminum antenna mount, flm servo plate, cen matrix 125cc tank.

i didnt get step by step pics, it was too early and my camera takes horrible pics in the dark.

just a bunch of pics, lmk if you have any questions. i know they are blurry, but that is the best my treo can take.

throttle/brake linkage

servo plate with my jr st126mg servo

modified 4-way ofna servo horn (upgrading to aluminum)

if you look at the very inside mounting holes, you can see i dremeled them out for a specific reason.

top view of the battery box mounting. i drilled out the upper brace for the lst shocks, and had to dremel the shock tower to fit the pan head screws behing the mounting bracket

switch mounted in the rpm receiver box

top view of switch (i know its crooked, I'm not too hand with a dremel yet)

rpm box mounted (slightly downward anglt to help with runoff of the mud, water, and dirt that may get up there.

overall view of the truck, engine isnt mounted yet, so thats why the fuel tube is running to the back of the truck.

LMK what you all think. i have to get a new rotostart plate so ill let you guys how it knows tomorrow.

update:
i got it out for a drive today, ran awesome. a bit rich, but that was to be expected. didnt get much more than a tank through it, and my roto battery went dead. which is alright, cus i didnt have the tools to tune it. ill get out again in a couple hours again to run it. i hope this stupid owb holds up..i didnt clean the shaft as much as i should have and it started to slip, the other reason that it didnt bother me that my rotobatt went dead. i got a 7 minute runtime on 1/2-3/4 tank.

Nicely done dread, very nice indeed! I love my midtank, and I've got some cool plans for the stock tank as well.

You'll love it too, no more carrying around that dang tuning driver every time you run! 🙂
