Small block savage.

[clemet]

So I got a heck of a deal on a lightly used savage XL and a set of LST2 shocks. Had a OS 18CVR laying around so I decided to throw it all together to see what would happen. The motor plate is the same as the one I made for Joey(savageman46) a while ago. He has had no issues with it so I figured why not make another. I just started throwing things at it that I had laying around as spares like a full set of swaybars, wing w/mount, and 17mm hubs.

Looks really nice clemet. Have you tested out how it performs with a smaller engine?

Have you / Can you drive it?

It does pretty good. Had it at the track last weekend my only complaint was it was lifting a tire so I threw the swaybars on it.

 

[Shaun]

so the little 18 engine pulls it around pretty good?

 

[clemet]

It don't have the top end, but for racing (no limit or buggy style) around here you don't need top end more control than anything.

What kind of run times did you see?
