  1. Bashing
Today was my son's 10th Birthday and how did he wnat to spend it? Bashing r/cs with dad :D

So I got both chargers out and started working on my Savage so we could bash. I had to charge 2 sets of transmitter batteries,my rx pack,glow igniter,roto start battery and his LiPo to run on. Meanwhile I had to swap out TVPs from my last incident with the tree,swap out the rear diff and re-shim it and then make some new brake linkage.

When the work was done we had a great bash session in the back yard. We used my big ramps and setup some fun stunts. My son still thought his Slash could keep up with my Savage :hehe:

As for carnage,well just one shock on the Slash and yet ANOTHER TVP trashed on my Savage :shrug: Also some damage to my nice NCNitro painted body and some wear and tear on the ramps. Here's the pics of the damage,videos will come later :yes:

Sounds like a blast bro! Vacation time is coming quickly for us and I'm also trying to get things in order for some family fun :)
 
Oh bugger.....I have to say I have never broken a TVP on a Savage. Good job Randy!!
 
I've bent the front of my tvp's, but the only time I've personally seen one literally broken is when my friends hit the side of a little snowmobile trailer at full speed and sheared the whole right side off of the truck
 
sounds like fun. but how did you manage to break a TVP? I've had savages for years and have never broken one
