I currently own a pretty well stock savage 21, aside from a 3 speed hpi transmission and an axial .28 powerplant. I also own a traxxas revo which is set up for racing mostly and it handles much better than the savage. I have aquired a taste for slammed down monster trucks with ming mounts and the extended look. I was hoping that maybe you guys could show me some pointers to make my savage setup to where I could enjoy it alot more.
Things that I would like for sure.
-A wing and durable mount.
-A lowered cog with A arms parallel to the ground similar to how my revo and maxx trucks are set up. (the savage towers and arms I have now offer no adjustability)
-An extended chassis with lowered cog. (I was looking into the FLM extended and lowered TVP's for this one as they are cheap and very reputable.
-Tight and responsive steering with a tighter radius if possible.
-Slammed down body as far as possible.
-Possibly a front mounted fuel tank?
I was looking at spending as little as I could while still upgrading the savage to where it looks nice. I would for sure buy a new body (whatever fits the extended tvp's the best) If anyone has any ideas or links to where I could pick up a solid wing mount for this truck, shock towers or arms that would allow me to set my suspension parallel, and a better steering setup possibly.
I for sure am planning on buying the extended and lowered COG FLM TVP's if I go through with keeping my savage. However I need to find a wing mount that would work and a suspension and steering setup and several other mods. I am looking at spending around $200 max on all of this stuff. I already have alot of rims and tires so that won't be needed.
