It's not a badger, It's a beaver!

Ahhahahahaha! In Wyoming, we poke badgers, you know, 'cause they're mean.... that means you're tough....

We like pokin' beavers too... but this IS a family forum....

What is the purpose of the filter on the pressure line? Or is it a preventive measure?

actually I need some more fuel tubing i ran short lol, I highly doubt any dirt would ever get past the pipe.

new HQ pics on page 1.

 

[scrogathon]

update, I got my engine mount/plate, 23mm hubs, and new ring and pinion gears.

 

[scrogathon]

took my Savage out for a spin today, half way through my tank, The brand new rear pinion decided to chew 3 teeth, I then fixed that problem only to find out my driveshaft going to the rear then decides to go out, and upon further inspection half of the ring gear is gone. now to the fun part of waiting 2 weeks for paypal to clear I'm now planning how to fix my differential problems, whether it be stock up the stockers or figure out a way to fit some other diffs in. any suggestions greatly aprecciated.

Go CEN and quit wasting money!

 

[scrogathon]

Fixed my Diff problem today, tons of shims on the pinion gear, and some washers here and there, new bearings all around. the diff has apsolutley no play whatsoever, and it pinion now meshes properly. LRP is awesome, I will be posting some videos up tommorow of the big bores being punished.

got some money for my birthday yesterday, and well free money goes to my savage🙂 going to be ordering Aluminum C-hubs, axle carriers and rear uprights, also need a few misc. parts like new rod ends and 5x10 bearings for the steering mod.

My Savage Is gonna be a savage again soon🙂

Still gotta wait for my parts I ordered to really get her going good.

Nice truck. I would do something to protect that servo wire. Some srink tube inside the tvp or something.

 

[scrogathon]

Yea Its probably not a good idea having it hang off the side of the chassis like that, Ill do something about it in the morning.

 

[AllanQ]

also need a few misc. parts like new rod ends and 5x10 bearings for the steering mod.

Good job on the build, truck really looks good. Good to hear you fixed the diff problems. If you getting bearings for the steering mod, the bearing size for the posts are 6x10. Just want to make sure you get the right stuff.

 

[scrogathon]

thanks for that info allan, glad I didnt go buy them yet.
Raining today so I don't think I'm gonna get to bash my truck as planned, gonna go ahead and do some scribing on the chassis, some shoutouts to hpisf are due🙂

[Travis Mowery]

nice truck man

 

[scrogathon]

thanks man.
well highspeed third gear was canceled as its out of stock, but still gettin my wheels and tires hopefully tommorow.

 

[scrogathon]

New Tires and wheels, I think they look awesome. grip amazing, and stripped the hexes out first run out, so I JB welded the hexes in place, problem solved.

had a minor crash that bent my shock tower into the header, and made me realize the carb was a wee bit loose.

 

[Crash]

they look great

what size hexs

I hate when hexs strip

 

[scrogathon]

they were 14mm, but there good and fixed now. lots of jb weld does the trick.

 

[scrogathon]

Wheels didnt hold up well to the jb weld trick, the lrp is just too powerful for its own good lol.
I Boiled the tires today, and managed to get one tire off the rim, but the other one seemed to be pretty stubborn, Ill be boiling it again tommorow.

Should be recieving my FLM Chassis plates some time this week, cant wait🙂

Ordering up some RPM a-arms to get rid of my aluminum a-arms which are better suited for shelf, they claimed the bottoms bulkhead brace, its snapped right in two lol.
