TT ext lcg Savage Build # 1

[Maxx-Power03]

Here is a pic of my SS before i took it apart.

First i started with my diffs. 30,000 ofna diff fluid. Aluminum diff cups. 4 gears. And shimmed.

Then aluminum nova shock towers.

Ohh ya. all new bearings for the truck. Boca bearings sealed green rubber.

Then i put on savage X lower arms and kept the SS adjustable uper arms. Also i put on rear turn buckle eleminators.

Then i put on Twisted Toys 1" ext lcg tvp's and skid plate and one piece engine mount.

Here is a better pic of the TT one piece engine mount.

Then i sealed the plastic skid plate to the aluminum skid plate support to keep out dirt from getting into the ring and pinion gear.

Here is a pic of the TT rear dog bone next to the factory bone.

Here is a pic of what i have got together so far today.

Well i forgot to list and take pics of some of the things i did to it such as. Upgraded servo's, fail safe, FM radio and receiver, shocks have 35wt oil.

Well next its the engine. Its a Omega .26 "picco" X3

Here is a pic of it bolted in the truck.

Then i put a ritter pipe on it. I don't know much about these pipes but I'm going to find out. LOL

Then i put the shocks with 35wt oil in them on the shock towers with spacers.

And then bolt on some wheels and put on some zip ties and new fuel line. And I'm done!!! :twisted: No test drive today because its raining here in Florida....well its pouring really.

Then i put my aluminum wheels and tires that make it alot wider. Its a little over 18 inch's wide and 22 inch's long.

Here is a few pics of the carbon fiber extendor i made for the X roll hoop and head protector to fit the 1" ext tvp. Man i love these trucks. I have a killer basher and this racer both TT trucks.

NICE work man. That looks AWESOME. I have heard good things about the ritter pipe though i have not seen it in person.

Thanks Guys!!!!

Let me just say the truck was worth every penny i put into it. This set up is working great. The pipe is awsome. It is a little heavy but it makes up for it in performance. It lets the motor reach its full power all through thr rpm. I also have my second savage... The X Basher. Here is a few pics of that bad boy also. I just need to get some lst shocks for it to complete it.

And what bodies are you using on the extended chassis Sav? How do they fit? Did you have to modify the mounting posts? or just cut new holes? How about the X roll bar.. need to modify for that too? Looks very cool, and I'm sure it runs great, I'd just love to see some pics with the body (s) on it.
