that`s a nice truck!
If I may advise you; take off the stock fuel tank or install a header tank.
I strapped a 100 CC nitro mt-2 tank to my sav and it runs sooo much better.
slower idling, better throttle response, lower operating temps, starts better, MUCH more output and it holds a tune now.
I have been running my sav for over 4 hours total since I did this and I didn`t have to re-tune the engine yet.
 
Beach shot I like. Clean yet impressive. What's your thoughts on the OS.30? Hex screws came out with a new coated screw ( armor coat ). I have a set for the crawler just haven't installed them yet. Meaning I like Hex screws.

Great truck!
 
I have seen/driven/broke that truck, and I can tell you it is one serious machine. That truck handles like a dream with the Cen shocks on it. That is one sweet machine.
 
The OS .30 is a great motor plenty of power and tork, easy to tune. Hex Head 's are great screews only broke 1 screw.thanks for all the nice comments,,, and Jeep @ Bama Thanx guys you 2 are allways welcome to dive my truck and Break it :) Also a mid tank will end up in it once i find the tank i wana use. here's a few more of my favorite pics.. enjoy...

Had lots more pics of the actual build but my pc crashed and lost pretty much all of them.oh yea did a full mod on a star .25, changed the exhuast timing and ported the sleave,changed indution timeing, cut the skirt on the piston bord, the exhuast on the block.had the spec measurements on the motor.. did a write up on rebel rc. when i get time ill post here 2. the motor is awsume, easy tune, very useable rpms from low to high. lots of power....
 
Thanks guys now I need to buy new a new servo for the stearing. a friend bought 1 for me but i went cheap my mistake. got a JR sport servo it was rated the same as a hitec 645 so i thought it would be ok, 3 runs later it just died, and I wasnt even bashing just playing around in the road. go figure. now i have to send it to the company, grrr. If I can ever get cought up on my finances I'm going to get new gears for my hitec 945 mg servo. maybe 1 day I can acutally drive this truck, its just barly broken in from my last updates i did.
I am extremly happy with the way this truck came out, lots of time building it rite. I have had so many complements on this truck from everyone that see's it,or driven it. Its crazy. I'm very prowed of it, still cant belive all the great feed back I have receive form every where I have posted it.
