Savage Upgrades

[CJS]

I have replaced trans with 3-speed, new pipe, new air filter, bigger servo, carbon fiber frame rails, cool head any other upgrades anyone can recommend? (savage 25)

Will Big Joe's tire be a benefit?

With a stock 25, the bigger tires seem to kill performance. I'd recommend finding something you like closer to stock size and upgrade to 17mm hexes.

Cam-type servo saver, primerless tank, and the X rollcage set (see my savage in the Team Infinity Pipe thread).

if u haven't updated the diffs (some of the older s25 were not updated at the factory) i'd do that. with a new engine and tranny, you'll need it

 

[HeartBreak]

Yeah, the 4 gear spider update. Definitely worth doing. I forgot all about that. And if you don't have it already, a three-shoe clutch.

I'd also recommend the ofna linkage mod makes the throttle and brake response much more accurate and reduces the lag time.
if you plan to race the big joes are a no no, if you only want to bash it then the big joes will be ok since they are no heavier then the stockers but i'd look into other tires personally and stay away from the 40 series all together.

you may also want to look into a full set of CVD's to beef up your drive train.

a cam type servo saver like the one found on the savage SS will help with the steering.

 

[CJS]

Sorry diffs already changed and also cage. Thanks for the info somethings to think about.

 

[HeartBreak]

Oh, and some 6x10mm bearings for the steering assembly. Fasteddy sells some that are cheap and good quality.

yeah you got to hook it up somethin gangsta like this..

 

[flm_savage]

thats about as far from "gangsta" as it gets.



all its missing is a nice rainbow body with upside down triangles.
