That's an e-savage. Were there pics posted of the truck. Definitely needs a good clean and a few parts. Do you have a dish washer?

 

[Dreadnaught]

is it? my bad. looked kind of like a emaxx.... whoops!!!

 

[Rebel Savage X]

Under the emaxx motors that are comming off and the dirt there is there is an e savage in there some were.

Shame, shame on you for calling that a traxxas!

It looks pretty much stock, any thoughts on what you're gonna do?

 

[Rebel Savage X]

and the pics weren't that good. but it is a project.

 

[Rebel Savage X]

Hop it up and fix the broken stuff on it. Don't know if I am getting stock motors or going brushless still in the planing stage.

I have to believe it is going to be worth the money to get a good brushless system going. If you don't you may always look back hoping for more power.

Can any one say Mamba Monster Max. Muhahaha..... when it finally comes out. The wait will be worth it though. Otherwise even a Mamba Max with ccbec on 4s with an 9xl or l can feigao/nemesis/wanderer would go pretty well too.

updated pics

After I took the whole truck apart and cleaned it and replaced all the missing screws it is back together and runs alittle bit better. And had to make a mount for the on/off switch. Got new frame rails, receiver box, and new bumpers coming. Next I will be getting bigger batteries and new body. Might get new motors in the future but these are fine for now after I cleaned them. Hopefully soon this will be my daughter's truck so she can go to competions with me.

[Blazer X]

There is alot savage and hellfire in the design of that truck. Those are the first close up photos I've seen of that truck. Very cool....Go brushless and don't look back !!

 

[Rebel Savage X]

I think I will go brushless in the future still trying to get it back in order.

thats what threw me off was the emaxx motors. sorry guys!

 

[Rebel Savage X]

I don't know what they were thinking putting them on there.

 

[Dreadnaught]

quick cheap replacements? maybe they fried the hpi engines, or maybe it was a bigger engine than what it had on there stock? i don't really know, but I'm jealous cus i was gonna pick one up from ebay, but hit a hard spot with my 1:1 truck and that comes before the hobby does. specially since i have 4 weeks to get a trans cus the first boat up north is then.
