Okay I finally decided what I was going to do for my next project

I was going to get a Savage 25 and keep it stock...
but then I didn't wanna spend money for another Savage that is less powerful/durable then what I have

then I was going to get another used Savage for $200 and do something with that

I didn't wanna repeat what I have already

so finally I decided to order the Twin Engine conversion... and build it with my stock parts I am not using

INCLUDES:
(1) 3.2mm TVP EXTENDED Chassis Side Plates for Twins,
(2) Special .21 Motor Mount,
(1) SUPER DUTY 4.7mm Twin Engine Base Plate
(1) EXTENDED Center Dog Bone rear
(1) Fuel Tank and Mount Plate,
Linkage, Fuel Line & Tees

for $249

now I still have my stock plastic parts from my orignal Savage and I am going to use them:

I have the lower arms
Bulkhead
skidplates
tie rods
pins
C-Hubs
stock dog bones
stock drive line
2 stock headers and pipe
stock internal gear from transmission
different spur gears
stock servos
UFO wheels with Mayhem tires
stock tank w/primer
cup joints
stock shocks

rest I can get from my LHS which I get %20 off on parts
which will all add up less than $40

then get 2 WASP for $315
JR RS300 = $60

probably around $664 instead of $1058 for a new one


on order and ready for the holidays... my x-mas gift for myself

Dude holy crap!! That thing is gonna rule. I do have to say if you can afford all of this R/C stuff I totally want your job man. Although I am just as addicted to R/C as you just don't have as much money to throw into it at all. Are you going to do a 4 wheel steering conversion on it too?? Late

yeah.... that's why I asked it on the other post

Since I will have two Savages..
I will title this my Monster Savage....
I looked into the Truckzilla as well and turns out that it uses the same set up...
so I may go either way..
twin WASP 26 or a .46 motor.

I originally had 2 Savages..
I do regret selling the other one..
damn I knew I shoulda kept it

I was going to ask my LHS about the CEN Genisis truck since it was listed as one of the dealers..
but I am going to get that anyways..
I just like making projects...
going to add 2 seperate tanks..
Like how did dude did his
