Default HPI SAVAGE SS .25 Engine build ready to race

This is for a used Savage SS Monster truck. This was only ran for
3 races (2/3 were first place finishes, so don't even think that savages are not
race ready machines) and it's almost bulletproof during those runs. The truck
will include 2 HPI .25 SS engines (the one mounted has less than a gallon run
through it and the other has about 2 gallons). Both engines are still plenty
strong. I've made several improvements on the truck which were ideas coming
from SavageCentral such as :

- Diff mod (4 sattelite gears) both front and rear.
- used an Ofna Dominator for more precise steering and no slop
- used the updated fuel tank from the 25 RTR kit to take out that leaning
problem people are experiencing.
- modified the throttle brake servo linkages.
- used Hardcore brake pad, when you want the truck to stop this will do it.
- used aluminum servo arms so no stripping.
- switch with a charging jack so you don't need to open the radio cover to
charge the batteries.

Additional stuff that will be included in the auction are a full set of
proline bowties mounted on tital wheels, 1100mah receiver pack battery, and
all extra stuff from the kit are included. You'll be needing electronics to make
this baby go.

Thanks for looking.
