more build pics

A few more pics from the build!

Heres the powerplant for he job it's outa a basher it will do for now i'd hate to wreck a newer one from runnin in the cold!

linkage setup

birds eye view

lol this is the reciever box

don't laugh now....it's paid for...haha!

Losi would be proud to see thier shocks and custom fabed reciever box on a SAVAGE!

Had to get creative with the fail safe as the servo cable wasn't long enough....

was thinking of the paddles but was also thinking deep snow would kill this quick....so packed snow and 6 to 8 inches of powder here and there this is what I have!

with these in the hot bodies 7 inchers....a 5/8 stud with 15 on each tire

For the bead locks I have a differant idea...i'm gonna try to bold some 1/2 channel aluminum around the treads from the inside to give the tire hopefully like a paddle track effect...then try it in the powder with some custom fabed side gaurds and such if these work would also like to go to a water proof system for the servos....unless someone can tell me how to water proof what I have....thanks for the replies guys this beast should be operational by tonight and videos by the weekend....i'm tryin to git er done but I'm not a good typer so updates on the comp take the longest.....lol jk...

MORE TO COME.....Leon
