My new to me X, got it already kind of souped up (XL plates, wheels/tires, LRP 30, etc) but I've been tinkering a bit and added and changed some stuff.

Lots of wheelies means it spent a lot of time sliding down my street on its roof last run so I fabbed up a cage from scrap parts. It flexes good, but surprisingly strong with the backing I screwed in mounted to the body. Hopefully it will save me from cracking a head.

@mrgrimm perhaps a savage xl roll bar/engine protector would work for you. The one on my X does a really good job keeping the engine from getting all scraped up.
 
Yes I think that will be the next thing after this body is used up - This truck is missing the frame mounted roll bar that the engine cage attaches to, but looks like its included in the ones I'm finding on ebay...and less than $15 :)
 
I finally got the body painted for my savage 25/brushless conversion. Introducing the Savage Mamba!!

Besides the Savages and the BAJA this little 1/10 scale Associated SC10-GT2 screams in the Dunes with Paddles on. Fused two fuel tanks together with J.B. Weld and doubled the run time. Has a TIGER DRIVE for starting and I Modded the Body so I can Fuel up without having to take the body off.

Nice ! Need to do it with all of mine really, the 25 runs so well for something that has been sat so long! The purple one runs ok ish and the other one has a knackered engine but a new one should be arriving tomorrow for it.

And to think a month ago I didn’t even own one Savage ! Lol
 
Sounds like you're hooked , don't tell the wife (if you're married) how much you are spending.
I completely disassembled the engine and will Seal-up so no probs. the Chassis gets some simple green tomorrow.
