Bulletproof Savage
[ratings]
Well I started out with a Savage X kit I got this year in June. It was good and all but I knew I would fall into the money pit called the Savage. So I slowly started upgrading her, and well here is my project story.
This is what is looked like before I got all the parts:


First major thing I got for my Savage was an STS 28, I have heard good and bad things about this motor but I got it and I wanted to see the hidden power in this beast:

The next thing I got was Aluminum Diff Cups, Diff Cases and Bulkheads, and CVDs, HD Wheel Dogbones, HD Drive Cups all round:


Then I encountered a problem which was that the Savage X shock towers didn’t work which I knew but I had to modify them:

Then you get this:


Then the next thing I got which means alot to me where Twisted Toys LCG Stock Length TVPs:


Then I bought some goodies for a Mid-Tank Mod, I already had some stuuf for this before I just needed a few more things:

Then I put it all together and this is what it looked like after:



Wow I have spent alot of money already but there is still one more important thing I need, clutch shoes. So I ordered me some Nova Adjustable Clutch Shoes:

Now my Savage was complete and I could drive it. Presently and about half a gallon or so later she looks like this, and let me tell you this motor has alot of friggin’ power:


If you have any questions of what I did just message me here and I will get back to you ASAP. Tell me what you guys think also. The only damage that has came due to this is a broken flywheel and a output dogbone. Thanks for looking.
