Well after 2 years of just hanging on the garage wall I thought it was time to but the beast back together and get her running again...

It was in pieces as I had cut up the TVP's when I had it running as a twin engine. I ended up machining a new set of TVP's for my basher savage from thicker 7075 aluminum and used the TVP's from it for this truck. I also replaced the oil in the shocks, cleaned everything. I didn't have a hump style battery pack since one of mine died so now I'm using a 7.4v 800mha LiPo for a rx battery.

If you are going to be doing much bashing I would swap out the A-arms. Those poor suckers are going to bend or bend something. But looks good over all.
 
Thanks guys but no bashing for this guy really... My other savage is mostly plastic for just that reason.
 
Well if it's not a basher then all good I guess. I guess I am just prejudice against aluminum A-Arms. But for light running or shelf it does look pretty.
