what parts to need to lower CG

[petal2thametal]

hello guys.
iam just wondering if you can lower the center gravity of the savage. so it looks like the hpi mt2 and handles better in a corner. and what parts you need for it.

Take off the shock spacers so it'll sag more
And perhaps some stable maxx wheels? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVSEARCH=stablemaxx&FVPROFIL=++

I dunno, sorry...

A would recomend a shock tower that has multiple shock settings.

The Nova shock towers will let you drop it. You could also throw on t-maxx or buggy shocks with them as well to go even lower.

The ones on the bottom are for the savage...

That's what i am currently running it works great. I am thinking of getting the tvp's from vertigo also http://www.vertigoperformance.com/

There are LCG TVP's you can buy. I know there is a couple of people over at the forums at www.savage-central.com (I hate to plug another forum but don't know anywhere else you can find them.)

couldn't you just run one shock in each corner instead of 2?

 

[Buncrana]

I wouldn't reccommend it. Those TVP's I mentioned don't lower the ride height, they actually lower the mounting for the engine and trannyso you can keep ride height.

thnx m8ies.

found what iam been looking for. that race conversion from vertico looks really hot.

umn btw. do you guys have experience with parts from GPM? http://www.rcxshop.com/default.php?cPath=23_25&sort=3a&page=3

wanted to fit alloy parts in my savage. and the parts from GPM are really cheap.

:smoke:

I have GPM TVP's On my savage. 4mm 6061 aluminum TVPs for ~$31 is hard to beat. The machining is topnotch too. However, look to pay around $8 for shipping for even small parts.
