rcvoodoo,

First off, welcome to RCTECH. I'm sure that you will find alot of helpful info here, as well as more opinions than you can count.

That's a nice start on an all aluminum Savage. The flaming TVPs are really different. Only thing I'd do different if I were to convert my Savage to aluminum would be to choose a single color for the parts.

My question though is what are you going to DO with it once it's built? Are you planning on bashing it? Alumimum trucks are very cool to look at, and undeniablly stronger in absolute trems, but they STILL will take damage, and are MUCH more expensive to repair than if you just have to replace stock parts. Plastic parts break, but the alloy parts will BEND and can be pretty hard to get straight again. I think that the only way that I would go the all aluminum route is if I were building a display truck.

Heh, well, there's one of those opinions that I was telling you about.
