Savage Upgrades to make the Ultimate Basher

[CleverCanadian]

I've had my Savage X for a little while now and absolutely love it. I now would like to make the ultimate basher out of it. In other words I don't want it to break but I'm not sure where to start with upgrades. Any advice?

Thanks,

What's the most common item you have broke or wore out with it up until now?

 

[CleverCanadian]

The only item that I've had to replace so far would be the spur gear.

Savages are pretty tough in stock trim. Upgrades only add wieght to them. Makes it harder for it survive the big air. The only upgrade I would recommend is a rear tie rod eliminator rear hub. Integy makes a good one

 

[CleverCanadian]

I looked on their website for that. Can't find it

 

[Mickey]

It's called a rear hub carrier now

If you want to take off weight and increase strength you could install the carbon fiber TVP plates from Platinum RC Products.

Ive found the savage to be one of the most thought out designs in rc, attached is a video of some very good info ive done most these things as I'm a pretty extreme basher.

+1 rear tie rod eliminator , I have them and they been great , allso keep an eye on your engine plate when you start hiting 10 to 30 feet of air the plate gets hair line cracks View attachment 4168

1. Robinson Racing Steel spur gear and clutch bell. You'll never have to replace them again.
2. Mid tank mod, will keep you from having to replace your tank.
3. Ofna linkage mod

My top three for a great set up.
