some more pics. that green arctic cat was driven by a 6 yr old. he beat it up. flipped it once also. he will be getting the blue quad (which is my sisters, Polaris 200) and my sister is upgrading to a 300 4WD. I have a KFX400, a Yami Warrior 350, and will be inheriting that green Polaris 400 (no matter what my mom thinks )

The Silver Brutefroce 750 is big Perry's (the father of the 6 yr old, whos name is little Perry). the Green Kawi Prarie 360 is owned by the owner of the property Carl (we call the property Camp Carlos). The treeline in the background is a straight drop down a mountain which we descend on the quads. some trails are laid back, some ou have to be on your toes so you dont roll down the mountain (like what one of our friends did to fracture a rib). Its alot of fun, the field up top is where I play with all the faster 2WD's. Ill post some video's when I transfer them and edit them.

you shouild be jealous. thats why I post the pics

I do have some bad news in the life of dracy though, the Baja is on backorder from GreatPlane's (the major distributer in the north east) until September. Mid September.....so I will have to wait longer. at least its good to see there is demand for it but not so much that i cant get one yet.

Howdy everyone long time no speak!! I wouldn't bother with the Hellfire conversion. Fast Lane Machine make really nice extended arms for the savage and all there stuff comes with a life time gaurantee. I just got alloy diffs and shock towers from them the are awsome. I will have my extended arm this week, ill post some pics when I get them.....

yes fastlane has a ext arm set but they are $150.00 and I am a bit short on cash right now! It is good to have a cheaper week point right?

Been real busy latley with work, baby's and 2 r/c meets a month now. I will try to get on here a bit more now we have settled at our new house! Racing has been great and I'm still holding onto 2nd place over-all in the MT class. Its not easy keepin up with these LST2's and revo's. We have our first state titles coming up in a few months and Im hoping to do well for my new team RC HOBBY ZONE, they are a great bunch of guys and are looking to sponsor me next year in either pro-buggy(lightning pro) or truggy(hellfire) I wont be complaining which ever way they want to go!!

If any of you could give me some advice on diff oil set up or any ideas on how to increase the corner speed of my savy it would be much appriciated....???? Talk soon

glad to hear about......life! good luck.

you have a high bite track or a slick track? bumpy? groomed? tight corners or wider corners? a picture would help. I would try some Nubz. also HPI make's an extra wide hex adaptor (for 17mm hex's only) part #87534

and you can also get the suspension conversion Part #87245 if you have the extra $$$

The conversion set lowers the roll center, improves steering response and provides more suspension tuning options for faster lap times on the race track. With the increase in caster, this gives a more responsive driving input while on the throttle and better turn in capabilities. The machine billet aluminum parts also add strength and durability. All alloy parts are purple for a custom look that matches other HPI factory option parts.
Also, have you considered a buggy shock set-up?

rock conepts makes that towerhttp://www.rockconcepts.net/proddeta...SAVST-02&cat=7
thats all I can think of off the top of my head
