[ShOrTaY]

Well guys, I'm sure you've heard this one many times. I'm gunna try and build the ultimate basher from ground up.

Plans: - Bold Means I already have it!

Savage X SS Basher:
RB Modded Axial .28 Spec 1s
Nova Clutch Shoes
Mugen 1.00mm Springs
Mugen Pilot Nut
IRC 4mm Black TVPs
IRC Midtank
Innovative RC Black Anodized Shocks
IRC Shock Mounts
Zombie Maxx Tyres on Proline 1/2" offset 23mm Dish Wheels
FLM Alloy Bulkless Setup
CEN Nemisis Diffs
3 Speed Gearbox
HPI Dual Fiber Brakes
17t Racing CB
49t Steel Spur
FLM Dogbones all round
Hitec 5955tg (Steering)
Hitec 645MG (Throttle/Brakes)



That's all I got planned so far...
What else can everyone recommend?

You got a great list there bud. Here are a few more but you may already have most.

-Ofna or Nova alu shoes with 1mm springs
-large Mah Hump
-Steering bearings
-decent servos

 

[ShOrTaY]

Just updated guys, remember I got some Novas and Mugen springs and Pilot nut and I'm gunna run both 645MG servos

Not sure if your going to want to run UV Joints as they are weak and much mjore expensave to replace. For a basher the regular dogs are just fine if you want better ones check this http://www.smfstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=31_63&products_id=1879 use these as your outdrive dogs. They are the same dog as you have in the rear or your FLM LCG Ext chassis.

Remember I will always have a carbon chassis waiting for you!

Another one to get is this http://www.smfstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=31_208&products_id=864 Just helps to take the slopiness out.

Haha, I still havn't gotten any of the stuff in the mail yet. Will post pics as soon as I get the stuff!!

You need a hitec 5955tg for steering servo and the 645mg should work for the brakes. Otherwise it's looking pretty good. Stock plastic for the win on a basher even though the steering link larsen posted is good. I just had to enlarge the holes to get the spacers to move freely.

If you are going to use the FLM Hybrid Bulkheads, then that alminum FLM steering link is REQUIRED. The plastic HPI link will not fit around the FLM Hybrid Bulkhead ... ask me how I know, lol.

Well guys, just updating you guys on how this is going.
I got my Zombie Maxx's in the mail the other day, as well as my IRC shocks.
And as for the engine, I should have it in about 2 weeks!!
Finally, heres some pics (Crash lol):

I put the shocks on my racer just to see how they fit, all I can say is...THEY ARE HUGE!!

Hey!! I really want to get that innovative rc lst shock mounting kit! But I cant find out if they will work with the RPM A-Arms. Does anyone know? I just read that they only work on the old savage arms, not the new style ones. so how about the RPM arms??

they won't work with the RPM arms...sorry...we discovered this awhile back when apache (Joe) got them, and couldn't use them with his RPM arms...I ended up buying him a new set of stock arms in exchange for the RPM ones, so he could use his new shocks...
