Well i just picked this Savage X up off of craigslist, the guy really didnt know anything about it other than saying "its had a lot of money put into it" lol, anyways i bought it and got it today and just got done looking it over and so far I've figured out its got:

-Some type of aftermarket wheels
-Jumbo swamp dawg tires
-Ofna force 32 engine
-Some type of aftermarket aluminum pipe
-Some type of green ano shocks (??)
-Boulder Holder body (color changing paint)
-VERY sturdy heavy duty roll bar

I'm not quite sure exactly what i will be doing to it just yet, but I'm sure it will get modded fairly soon.

Let me know what you guys/gals think :)

Just took it outside for the first time a little bit ago, seems to run REAL nice.. tuned it (a little) and it seems to idle all day and runs cool, but i could only run it so long before i thought i was going to die.. we have an extreme heat advisory here till Friday and you're not supposed to go outside unless completely ness. lol
 
Ok from the looks of it you have a Savage 25 with X side plates. The springs are aftermarket....pipe is an older style HPI tuned pipe. You can tell it's a 25 from the shock towers, bumpers and upper A-Arms. Still they were good trucks. The only thing about them I did not like were the diffs were only a 2 gear set-up in stock form.
 
Yeah i forgot to mention, i already figured out it was a 25, but I'm not sure what all has been done to it because A LOT of stuff has been changed already, lol so ill run it till it breaks and have fun with it.

forgot to also say that i found it has a Traxxas 7025 waterproof steering servo (but i think I'm going to throw a hitec 7955 in on steering, and switch the traxxas to the throttle) because turning these big tires seems a little tough for the 125oz servo lol.
