Looking for ideas for savage #3

So I have 3 savages now one basically stock with an ofna engine. One running a sh28 for thrashing and big air. One I picked up with extended chassis with 7" tires and a Xtm 24.7. I was gonna build one for the street but that seems kinda boring now. I was hoping to get some ideas on what would be a cool build. Please no half a gallon of gas and a stick match ideas. Lol.

Look on rccrawler.com in the FOFF (Formula Offroad) section, there's a few savages turned into these insane dune-dragster hill-climbing creations.

I'd be all over the cf racer if we had a track up here. Those foff trucks are sweet looking. I'm gonna have to find another axial or something and throw my castle 7700kv in it. Ahhh. Back to the savage lol.

Wait for the Gas engines to come out and build one around that. I am saving a complete truck for a Gas conversion when those engines are released.
