Hey guys, this is something i started on before the end of summer but just now, within the last 4 hours, have i actually unpacked all the items and started assembly.. lol.. this is where it is now
Started with a stock Savage XL, for obvious reasons I'm doing the midtank, and I'm a total fan of FLM TVP's so that was the base of the build. Now this 5.9 is a gas hog so i decided to go with the OFNA 250cc tank and the PRC tank plate.... (good stuff Larsen !!) Ive never been a big fan of components being outside the tvps but i switched it up and went with the RPM box for the RX, but i did fab up a quick bracket to mount the hump under the tank plate, ive done this on the other 2 midtanks ive done on my other trucks, has worked flawlessly so far. The front and rear differentials have been shimmed/filled/assembled into the bulks, just need to slide them in, but before that I'm going to work on the clearance for the motor mount against the tvp, the top of the bolts do not clear and running 52/13 gearing i need the room. Also the linkages for the throttle servo need fitted and mounted once the motor is in. Other then that its basically going to stay stock for now untill i start breaking things, more then likely new shocks will be in the works, maybe flux big bores if i can get a good deal on them... anyways enough of the bs and here are the pics... any comments suggestions welcome
