starting to come together now!

 

[Pope]

You are going to love that clutch glade you found one.

 

[Combuster]

that savage is going to be sick!!

 

[88gtanotchback]

Thanks guys! I'm loving this build. I kinda spoiled myself. lol Ill have more pics up soon i just got done the front end with all the goodies.

 

[Scott]

Lookin Killer 88!!!!!!!! rockout

 

[soulja]

looking good brother....now HURRY UP!! LOL!!

 

[88gtanotchback]

I'm in no hurry at all Matt. I'm draggin this build out for a while ( i have no fuel yet) lol
I did the font end tonight. Set up the RSC, and installed HPI sway bars. I used Lunsford hinge pins for a little more strength. Also used Bullet proof diffs with the Flux composite cases. My carbon fiber i cut worked out nice, everything lined up and fit in like it was supposed to so that was a plus. The rest of the time i Just fiddled with my steering linkage trying to figure out the best way for it to work. I think i finally found the way I'm gonna keep it. Ill get pics of that tomorrow with the good camera.
A few more pics (crap camera sorry)

 

[soulja]

trip those pieces for tighter steering!. don't go too much without CVDS or they'll pop out

 

[soulja]

i mean trim & shave....my bad

 

[88gtanotchback]

already did bud. they are at the limit. lol. i love the RSC, cant wait to see how the sway bars work out. i like the hinge pin retainers either way.

 

[JoeGuam]

88 keep it coming. I hope you are having fun doing the build!

 

[Combuster]

i think he has the old rsc so no need for trimming

 

[Bankrupter]

lol don't touch them..... thats not the 1 hole...

88 this all looks so hmmmm IDK I feel like I have seen these parts b4 ?? just cant place it ...

O no. I saw this after I posted... I was on page 1. I hope you didnt go to far or your going to have bone issues up the butt bud..

 

[J1A1H]

yea i just received mine.. and i had to grind a crazy amount off... without trimming they are worse than stock!!!!!! Also are you going to use the second inner hole for turning or are you going to move the tie rod to the oustide??? does it offer better steering? If so... i might drill another hole as i only have one single hole! like so...

 

[88gtanotchback]

i only took it down a bit, i ran it on the last truck with no issues so it should be ok

 

[soulja]

88....just in case you did go a lil far....you can run cvds and be okay. i almost went too far on one of mine....but thank goodness for these http://cgi.ebay.com/Hpi-Savage-21-2...Control_Parts_Accessories?hash=item53de930edf

they were darn good cvds too........i am about to buy some for my truck i have now.

 

[J1A1H]

soulja.... those look great! Are they as strong as the stock flux ones? If they are... anyone running the RSC should use these just in case...

 

[88gtanotchback]

i doubt there as strong as the flux ones. the SHD bones are great! i don't think i went to far, i never popped a bone before on the old set up (hehe) so I'm hoping its ok with the new one. only thing i changed is the servo.

 

[soulja]

soulja.... those look great! Are they as strong as the stock flux ones? ...

don't thing they're as strong a FLux ones bcuz they're not as thick....but i never broken a dogbone on any savage i had whether it be flux, cvds, regular or hardened and i've had about 10 savages! (including and ERCM Picco Savage!)

i don't think i went to far, i never popped a bone before on the old set up (hehe) so I'm hoping its ok with the new one. only thing i changed is the servo.

cool....i was just giving you and option just in case.....

 

[88gtanotchback]

cool....i was just giving you and option just in case.....

muchly appreciated Matt. ill keep em in mind if i do have problems.

 

[kvnnets]

Looking good 88 looking good.

 

[88gtanotchback]

Thanks Kevin.
Got a little bit more done tonight.
For the rear, i pulled the bullet proof diff apart, shimmed it and filled it with 10,000wt. Installed the sway bars, RSC, lunsford hinge pics, PRC wing mount, mounted to the Hot bodies kit. it all worked excellent together, and i can proudly say its my first wing on one of my savages. lol.
i started with this

And worked my way to this.

Heres a mock up of what its gonna look like.

Not much done, but i just got 4 gallons of Byrons in the mail, so i need to step the pace up!
thanks for all the info folks, ive "burrowed" many ideas for you guys at green/red hpisf much respect to you all!
