So I've been wanting to get back into bashing for a few years. Went at it pretty hard but only for a short time when I was into it.
With some recent life changes I've decided to splurge and get back into it. I'd like to build the ultimate basher, and between here, savage-central, and rcuniverse my brain is completely mush over the last 48hrs.
I spent 1200 dollars at the LHS today (which was also an hour and a half away) and I still dont have anything to make the truck more durable for bashing.
Here is what I have/have planned so far.
HAVE
Savage XL (589.99)
Spektrum DX3S Radio (250.00)
Pro-Line Trencher 3.8 40 Series All Terrain Tires on Tech 5 Black Wheels
and other than the necessities to get the thing running thats pretty much it (after run oil, gallon of byrons gen 2 fuel, fuel bottle, extra glow plugs, temp gauge, etc...)
Still to buy (definitely purchasing online however)
ENGINE/PIPE
Thinking the Picco .28 w/ OFNA 068 Pipe. Howmuch does it cost to have it ERCM Modded?
Other engine option is the LRP .32 w/ OFNA 057 Pipe, again howmuch for ERCM mod?
SERVOS
The LHS guy was trying to talk me into a couple Spektrum servo's, but I passed. Want to make sure whichever servo's I get will be able to support the truck after all mods are done. Sooo....
I'd like to do the BP tranny mod, can't find the how to ANYWHERE.
Would also like to do any and all mods that will make this whole truck Bullet Proof. I've read so much over the last two days I am literally on information overload at this point. I've got around 1000 dollars more I can comfortably spend on this endeavor and I feel like I got very little out of my trip to the LHS. So its online from here on out.
If anyone can point me in the right direction of other ultimate basher builds or give me some info on other things to do I'd greatly appreciate it.
I also saw a pretty sick bumper but forget who made it or what thread I was in on what forum. Just want this thing to be a tank. A tank thats fast enough to do some sick jumps though.
Sorry for the rambling, I literally am mushy headed though. Thanks for the help! :whhooo:
