Alright, it's been a rough few weeks for the savage. After the shock injury and some other problems it was back into complete teardown mode.
However, a really good friend helped me out with some excellent parts to help fix my savage back to potential. This is a thread about how it came to pass.
First, the shock was destroyed, and with school and life I couldn't afford jack crap to be able to replace it. School is hard on my wallet, and it sat on the shelf for almost a month before I could do anything with it.
That's all that was majorly wrong with it. However, my bud had different planes. After a 3 day wait, I got some stuff in the mail. And I'll let the pictures do the explaining. If my friend wanted known, I'd surely let you know. But I gotta toss him the props anyways as he helped more than EVER. THANKS BUD!!!!!!!!! This is awesome!
Now, for the pictures :
This is what came in the mail for me. More than enough bolts too. The next package was awesome as well! Just keep looking through the pictures! However, these pictures are different sizes as the quality was reduced too much if they were made smaller. So, a couple are bigger to maintain quality. Check them out.
Who ever thinks CEN shocks aren't good was WRONG. These are bigger then the BIG BORES!!! I'm not kidding either, I compared them at the LHS a couple weeks ago. And these things are officially bigger bore
I hope this cup works well with shims I used!
Aww, look at the pretty couple
Steering linkage rub.. Dangit! Nothing is ever simple as tightening bolts. Time for the dremel and Xacto knife! Check it out!
A comparison of the stock and FLM/CEN setup.. Which one looks tougher?
Those CEN's really make it look beefy!
Those should make one heck of a team eh? So, let's see how it turned out!
Here's a picture of the final build. After rebuilding everything that I was able to rebuild. Including rebuilding my midtank mod in a better fashion.
Yes, I love the Racer's Edge orange zip ties. They are so tough and easy to use. And it flares a bit on the savvy. So I use them on everything.
All in all, here's the build:
FLM Combo Bulkheads
FLM Universal Shock Towers
FLM Diff Cups
CEN Genesis Shocks
Platinum RC Product Hellfire Midtank Mod
2.5 T-Maxx (Chevron) Tires and Rims
And there you have it. One post, one project completed. This is why I haven't been on the forums lately. I've been finishing everything up perfectly. Everything is bolted down and ready for war. I hope to get to test it's durability soon! However, here's a quick video of it moving on it's own!
Savage Reborn
I love it so far, and I think it'll handle itself quite well!
