Nothing can stop me from running...

Looks like the stock savage tires couldn't cut it

Toss on the UFO w/Mayhem and they did wonders..
gives it a better ground clearance
adjust the shock to lift the truck more

adjusted the slipper clutch little loose

and wasn't going more than 1/2 throttle
(as you can hear it didn't shift into 2nd)

good 4 inches of snow

I basically cleared the way....

then i tighted the slipper clutch all the way
big boo boo... stripped my clutch bell..
don't worry I got spares...

oh yeah... LEFT HAND ON CONTROLLER
Right Hand on my Camera...

I know this should be in the video section but this goes out to my Savage peeps


DAMN WHERE IS MY TRUCKZILLA KIT

Dude that looks like the back of a Target or WalMart shopping center near me. Looks like you had some great fun. Decent video to for driver shooting.
 
Nice video.

I got cold just watching it.
 
Great video. I miss the snow. We were out bashing today with just t-shirts on. Maybe I'll move to new Jersey next year. I'd get the skis for the front though.
 
Great shot TRD! I am planning on running mine this week, problem is the temps is forecasted to dip down to the teens and possibly single digits with the wind chill. I am not sure I would enjoy being out there. Happy New Year.
:cheerful:
 
I filmed this a few weeks ago; put it together but never finished it. Seeing TRD's video inspired me. I was also filming this and driving...left handed. It's like 5 minutes long so...

I forgot, this is my stock savage; .21, nothing fancy done to it...minus the body.

Everlast, considering one handed filming I give you a ten for that wonderful video thanks for sharing. Are those the stock tires for the Savage, they looked like they are working fine. Nice looking hummer!
:w00t:
 
Nice Vids guys I tried running mine yesterday as there is snow like frickin everywhere on the ground here and no luck. I will try again before it is all gone. Late
 
Thanks; those are the stock tires. At the time I filmed that, the truck was pretty much stock, except for the body...I was going to take my Big Joe's off my other truck but I didn't think the stock servo could hang.
