I figured since i would share my semi-build with everyone. So to start things off, Last year I bought a Savage 25 Off of ebay. Its my first Nitro RC and I'm a bit of a noob. It ran ok when i first got it. I used it in the winter got it all wet and dirty and had a blast. The Body it came with was cracked up pretty good it was just the stock body. I wrapped the head because i did some research, but didnt water proof my servo's for the winter bashing it recieved, I only ran the truck about 5 times. I also had a problem with my throttle/brake Horn, i dont know if the servo saver got dirty along with the horn, but it has a problem going full throttle, so plans are to get new linkage servo's, and throttle horn along with servo saver.
All the work i put into it so far would be I bought a new body painted it.
2 Spur gear's i put in, 1st one i put in i did lock tight the engine mount bolts some how it must of moved still after a few bash's.
So i put it away all summer for my #1 Hobby which would be my Trans Am WS6 i drove around alot and had some good times. Now I'm pulling it in the garage, and out comes the Savage again and it is now a little project when i have money.....
Body painted, spur gear installed, Now all thats left is to get some money together and Buy the parts i need, unfortunitly this isnt my main hobby so it will take sometime to finish, this is just gonna be a basher, I'm going to be cheap with it.
Parts list so far :
#1 Servo's - throttle/brake, and steering.
#2 New Throttle Linkage http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDLH2&P=K
#3 New Horn and servo saver with cam(dont no what that means but i know its an upgrade from stock) http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJSS6&P=K
#4 Motor Mount Bolts http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=HPIC2792&P=K
That should be it to get it running good.
I took the Motor out to do the spur gear and cleaned it up a bit i also noticed this
Everything with the truck was running good, so maybe this is fine, but i figured i would see what people think.
Now some more pics, sorry for quality. Here is the 25's Power plant, lets hope it runs well when I'm finished.
Its should like some what like this when complete.
enjoy, too bad i have to wait til i get paid this upcoming thursday to buy all the parts i need.
