Hey guys, getting my truck all set up for next weekend to race.
And I've decided to keep a savage and show everyone up that u can turn a savage into a racer.
How can i get my truck lower to the ground and also get it to where it doesn't lean as much????? When i come into sweepers, it wants to roll. I am running 4 shocks(Stock) and i put 2 spacers per shock in the rear to kind of level it when i get on the gas. This should also help maintain a good posture in the air.I also just got bow tiie wheels.

My rear diffs arent working, i only have front wheel drive. What do you think this could be?? it seems that sometimes when the truck isnt sitting on the ground, the rears will work.Stripped bevels, disconnected,etc??

I am looking at maybe 1200 mah reciever batts, will it be ok to run 7.2 volts?

6 volts max on the Rx pack or you'll fry the electronics. The diff problem seems like maybe a missing pin in the drive cup. If it works sometime or not under a heavy that could be it.I'd tear it down and check the inside of the diff and check for any missing parts. For the shocks I would run all 8 with limiters in place to lower it down.This way you still get the stiffness of having all 8 in place but you'll also get the lowered stance to keep it from rolling over.
