After playing with my nitro bullet i decided to build a nitro savage. I have a savage roller sitting around the shed (Minus motor, clutch/spur,

I'm sure there is more, i will add to the list as i go.
Would like to say thanks to the hpisf members for helping me out and answering my questions.
Well, first things first, Stripping down the old savvy. Undo a few screws and the while thing pulls apart. Started stripping down the balk head/shock towers ready to replace them with prc towers and balk head plates.
I had to cut a bit of the balk head off so the prc tower would fit. I also filed a little bit off the tower so it would fit on the balk head
I filed the tower where the diff cover fits between the tower.
I also filed a little off the edges of the tvp so it would attach to the balk head. It took a bit to get the balk plate to bend and line the screws up nicely but when i did it all come together nicely. I was a bit worried about the plate straight compared to the original ones which were bent slightly but after talking to savagesam, he told me it will still be all sweet.
I managed to mount the tranny and motor plate before it was getting late. Heres a pic of where I'm at now.
Hope you guys enjoy the pics =)
