I am making this thread on a new user name, because my real user name (honda237) is messed up, so if a mod reads this, please fix it.
I have been building stuff up over the last few months for this project. It will be done on my 2011 savage x, and the color scheme is around orange.
Here are the parts list:
FLM extended lcg chassis
FLM skid plate
FLm steering Brace
RPM A-arms
Super heavy duty axles and driveshaft
XL machined diffs
Xl bulkheads
Alza bulkhead braces
Shims
Ofna Fuel tank
Orange fuel filter
Orange fuel line
HPI red springs
Team Associated 35wt shock oil
Parma x-citer body
Digital camo mask
Orange, yellow, copper and black paint
3.2 badlands on orange dyed blue groove wheels
Picco .28 P3 (Will be modified by ECRM when i get my tax returns)
ECRM side bleed pipe
Mugen 1.0 clutch springs
Max life clutch shoes
New bearing all around
Bearing for the steering
Savox 1232 steering servo
Hitec 645mg throttle servo (if I remember correctly)
HPI heavy duty servo saver spring
Integy rear hubs
HPI red disk brakes
Custom orange shock socks
Blue groove wheel hexs
HPI wheelie bar
Futaba 3pmx with Orange grip

I believe thats it, but i am more than likely forgetting something. I would also loved to get all the silver aluminum parts anodized orange, which i did find.

Here are pictures of how the truck sits currently:



Bent the chassis on the last bash


Most of the new parts, more should be in this week or so.

Here is the body


Diffs are all cleaned up, only took heating up the diffs with a heat gun, and rounding out 1 bolt. Then dawns, water, a roll of paper towel and tooth brush got all the grease off.

Sorry i'm copying all this over from another site i posted this on, and this is what i have gotten done today

I am done with one diff, 3 shims on the bevel gear side, 1 shim on the cup side, and 1 shim on the pinion, then filled with 30k fluid. There is no play and no binding. Now I just need a screw to finish the other diff.

My old account is working now.

I got my new brakes in the mail yesterday.


I also got the shocks, plus my spare, all back together after a good cleaning, new 35wt oil, and HPI red springs. I just need to make the shock socks.


I also pulled the trans, and found out i need a new engine plate


This is how the trans looks as of right now, the bearings need to be replaced pretty badly.

It was a good mail day saturday, and I also picked up plasti dip


I forgot to post this but this is what i found when i pulled the trans, i don't know how i was running like this.


I finished the trans, i cleaned everything, added new bearing, added the knew brakes and found out the 3 screw holding the 2nd gear to the hub were coming loose , so they are locktited and tightened down now.

Haha, i know that feeling. I can't send off my parts to get anodized till i receive my bulkhead braces from alza, they were shipped friday, but international shipping takes for ever.

I can't wait to see your truck, it will be sweet.

I want one of those, but don't have the cash for one, plus i don't really have anywhere to drive it till i get my track built.

Yes sir, there will be plenty of pictures.


Quick question, anyone know of a black allen screw kit for the savage that i can buy?
