great upgrade

[Crash]

I wanted to share this with the newbis and the not so newbis. this is a great upgrade on any savage.
these replace the plastic cross members.

What do they look like? The pic of the parts bag didn't show the part.

 

[Crash]

I'm sorry forgot to take pic of part.

look at the pic of the truck, its the aluminum crooss member. directly above skid plate and below engine plate. these cross members come plastic on all trucks.

It's the pieces that go just under your plates that lay horizontally across the tvp's. It connects them. So instead of plastic, you'll have aluminum.

 

[xtremsavage]

Yeah, I see. I've already got those on my truck. I think I used the ones from GPM though. Plus, you can always use the engine plate brace. I did that to add another extra brace up front. You've got the two extra holes that are closer to the diff housing right under the cup joint.

I have those on 2 of my trucks along with the integy nerf bar they make hecka strong. Very good upgrade indeed.

 

[Crash]

ok this is for those that don't know about them. lol

would you agree that it is a great upgrade?

 

[xtremsavage]

yeah I do agree. They are a good choice to upgrade. Brand doesn't matter.

I agree about upgrading the plastic pieces but I am going to get the FLM ones.

 

[Jeremy]

Good part I need a set .. btw crash that air filter has seen better days bro

 

[SavageGoZoom]

I agree about upgrading the plastic pieces but I am going to get the FLM ones.

My personal opinion of course, but I would stay away from integy parts! The crossmember may do alright! I would go for FLM or something.

 

[MTBikerTim]

Maybe I should get these for my FLM chassis. I'll have to have a look for them. Thanks crash. I take it the point is to preserve the chassis plates in a hard head on?

 

[Crash]

I agree with everyone, you certainly don't have to buy integy.

The switch from plastic in this part was the real upgrade.

 

[Fx]

The switch from plastic in this part was the real upgrade.

Most definatly, tell us how you like the Integy ones once you've bashed with them.

 

[Crash]

I have been running one set for 3 gallons, like all aluminum parts, the fact that you can locktite the screws makes all the difference.

Thats the real problem with the plastic ones, the screws come looose. strip out holes ectrt. I tried epoxy and several other products to reair them.

This is on my top ten upgrades.

hey great Idea..............we need a list of top ten must have upgrades.

 

[samisavage]

I agree, Crash, Its not what brand you use, heck buildem yourself , Its about getting rid of the stock plastic ones. The alloy is much more rigid and hold screws far better. And yes they bash great. good upgrade!
