Yes buggies are harder to drive and its most often the most competitive class.


Is the 220 cc tank allowed where you plan on racing?

In australian rules the monster truck class must have under 230cc in the fuel tank and lines, so using the cen tank you can only run a short fuel line with out any filters to stay legal for racing and stay on your wheels as the truck does not run long when on its roof....down sides grrrrr

I've been racing for quite a few years and I've got to say that is one very nicely built Savage! It is visually appealing and all the parts improve the functionality of the truck.

A lot of guys say that half the fun of racing MT is the custom tuning of the trucks. I think this is a great example of that idea.

looks great i have one that i have motified a lot but i found that the stearing mods that i got from hpi and it looks like you have the same one the dog bones jump out of the hub

i found that they can be replaced with the jammin crt 1 u joints but you have to use the out put drives as well and yes they do fit pm me and i will give you the part numbers if you need

Sam was thinking the other night switch the clutch shoes to leading engagement over trailing and test it. I think it will drop off faster not nosing the savage off jumps as bad. I will test but not till Sat.

I REALLY like the Losi 2.0 body on it, I'm going to actually probably pick one up for my Savage, but I went the FLM lower center gravity / extended chassis myself.

If you buy the losi 8T 2.0 body it needs to be stretched out over the pipe to fit a savage
