My savage racer

[mcvickj]

DAUM!!! Those are some beefy shock towers!!! Have you tried running with the 4 LST shocks? If so, what did you think?

 

[SKIP]

I never ran the ofna 9.5's that I had on there and what the towers were designed for. If you look out of 24 points I am useing the top (highest) position. The This allows the use of full rage of motion.. The Novas actually give a plusher ride, but you can not run them on a stock length truck.

I have used the LSTs on my basher and still say they were the best handling improvment yet.

Skip please tell me you have some extra towers you have on that beast for sale. I just picked up a savage roller and I want your towers on mine! PM me if we can do business!!

Freaking awesome truck!!!

Damnnn this pic speaks for itself..

Sweeeeeet

I skimmed the thread (2X) and dont think its been asked...but what are the towers made of???

 

[SKIP]

thanks guys.. The towers are made of delrin.. Nobody has used them but I tryed to break a peice of scrap and it would not break. So i belive its all good.

BTW.. You do see the two different shocks in that pic.. Ofna 9.5 rear buggy, and obviously the threaded LST shocks.

 

[wannarunem]

..i didnt... i was so intrigued i looked right over that. LOL

Delrin is good stuff...I've done a lot of reading on it and its all good things so far.

Where did u order from? I know of some online stores but can't remember the websites.

He skip you should manufacture your side plates and towers... Also will the lst shocks work with nova towers?

Skip,
You haven't mentioned where you bought the LST shocks and for how much? Will they work on a stock truck? Are you selling a truck on Ebay? Is there a good inexspencive BB motor you might recommend ($150-210).

 

[SKIP]

PiErow.. I just dont have the resorces to maunfacture stuff. I may not even have the job that allows me to do all this crazy stuff. I might have to start doing thigs all by hand..

Sgt Blamo... I got both sets of LSTs off ebay for $65 shipped. I got the treaded sshock bodies also off ebay. Yes I have a truck on ebay for an extreme amount of money.. really just to show off a little. If I was really gonna sell it I would sell it for half that much..

As far as motors go.. I have had the 21, wasp 26, and am gonna try a mach 26.. I have heard great things about the mach, but the back plate is huge.. I am not sure what clutch bell i can put on there without machining it down.. I would suggets the XTM 24.7 motors.. I always have heard great things about them.. I too am looking for one. They have a non pro at me LHS for $135

 

[jon2]

Skip would you manufacture some more towers say for a paying customer...like me?

How do the two different shocks compare?

 

[PiErow]

Ya if your towers enable you to use lst shocks with the stock suspension set up, i would like a set too. Also skip you should look at the integy lst shocks.

I designed the towers to go with the ofna buggy shocks.. but the lst shocks work on them useing the top 4-5 holes.. So you really dont get the full potential out of the towers with them.. So I made a bracket on my basher to run the lst shock right off the stock tower.. works great on the basher...

oh and about the chrome threaded piggy back LST shocks by Integy bring out my "O" face...... I want them soooooooo bad.. For those of you that havent seen them..
