HPI Savage lower arms

[Savage59]

Will the Savage 4.6 lower arms fit a older Savage ss?

 

[hwrd442]

They should.

 

[Savage59]

They should.

Thats great. I have the first run, integy lower arms that came out for the savage 21 and its time to up great to a newer style.

 

[Gazzman]

They will definitely fit, only difference is the style of the cross bracing on them and the later arms can't be reversed as only have shock mounts on one side of the arms.

 

[Savage59]

Thanks, nice to know the newer ones are different for a single shock mount.

They still have 2 shock mounts, for the 8 shock set up. But the old arms had mounts top and bottom so you could turn the arms over the newer type have 2 mounts, one in front,one at back of the arm but nothing on the other side.

Ok, got it, my one savage has aluminum arms, which only have it on one side. I forgot the older stock arm's you could flip over.

Not yet, we are in a deep freeze here, so I'm going to wait for better weather.

Nice rig, although unless it is not going to get run the alloy arms look great, sadly alloy will bend and become useless, for bashing plastic will flex and mostly return to shape...

Have you got rota start fitted can’t quite see?

On my ford bronco with the Dynomite .28, I had to move the upper cross brace to get the Dynomite roto start to work. I don't think it will work on a stock chasse, my Integy side plates are a little longer than the stock ones. I have my son in law, working on redesigning the gearbox side braces, but for now I took out the brace, and replaced the shock tower with a different style, that's beefier and eliminates the center cross brace so I can get a roto stater in.

I've run with alloy arm on my T-Maxx for years and haven't had any problem. It's not all aluminum, I leave the outer knuckles for a weak point. The Savage red bronco will get used but not hard. but the Savage SS will be for bashing
