IMO,most of what you picked out you wont be happy with for long,so save ALL your money!

1. Alright powerand really loud / however much better off with the THS.
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEAR7&P=ML

2)Good Choice
3) HPI makes the same thing and its a little cheaper just to let you know.
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDUR2&P=ML

4)Excellent choice! (remember if you need a futaba connector go Ofna)

5)Worst Choice. This product is what made me post this. They suck, dont work, and bend easy. / Nova towers
http://www.novarcproducts.com/savageshocktower.html
and UE shocks (can't find the link)

This set up is awsome and light, it has lasted longer than engines on my savage and was recomended by numerous people in here.

6. Alright / The included servos will not be enough in the savage. My solution

Its Cool You Helped Me Save Lots Of Money. And I Dont Want Stuff that Will Break And Stuff Specially Those 124$ shocks.
Ok All That Stuff You Fixed Is Cool Now I Just Need Some Shocks...R The Powerstrokes Good? How big Are The Powerstrokes I dont Wanna Drop My Truck...

:cheers:
Oh Yea I'm Prolly Sure You Can But Will The Nova Towers Work With The RCS Roll Cage. I Just Wanna Make Sure.

FLM makes nova like towers as well, they are just a little cheaper, but a few less holes for tuning. The powerstroke shocks are too short for a savage without getting creative. You would need the nova towers, FLM towers or New Era upper arms that are made for t-maxx sized shocks to get them to fit properly. (Notice, I said "OR")

I aggree though, steer clear of integy stuff unless it's a bling part only. Their fit/finish is good, but the quality of the aluminum isn't.
 
heres my project now i added alot of stuff...

-Venom Temp Monitor
-Futaba R124H 4-Channel AM RX
-Hitec HS-645MG (For Steering)
-Hitec-625 For Throttle And Brake
-Floresent Antenna Tubes
-HPI Hump Pack
-Ofna Fail Safe
-Motor Saver Air Filter
-Hpi Ribbed Pipe

I Think Thats It As Of Right Now.
I Also Got A Roto Start Back Plate For My Wasp (broke) Getting A New One From AC Though.
