that is super nice, but it looks to clean.

Believe me, he runs it. Looking good! When are we going bashing (or the first question when are we doing the "break-in" on mine).

 

[Nevaren]

Thanks ADawg... It gets run Little Denatured alcolol and some wd40 and she's shiny again.
StallsmithB give me a holler will figure out when we can do break in on yers.
prolly warm nuff today to take it out and run the 1st tank on the stand.

quick note, no alcohol on the rims, takes the chrome off... soap & water for the wheels, off the truck of course

All that shine and no big ass air filter... tisk , tisk. J/K

This it to both nevaren and StallsmithB: Uncompress your shocks when you aren't using them and elevate them to give your shocks a break. They will love you for it! Nice looking trucks though!!

how does it run and handle with those big wheels? wondering cause i was thinking of getting some later on, but want to know how they handle.

 

[Nevaren]

the big wheels seem to add a little stability when bashing. less roll over. however i do recomend a high torque servo to turn em. The wheels are no too much taller than the stock wheels but quite a bit wider, and have a larger offset, giving the truck a wider stance.

Nice looking Savages!

 

[stallsmithb]

Thanks AC48.

Now if I could only get it started. I tried for an hour last night but no go. I adjusted the carb opening and I am going to try heating the engine with a hair dryer.
