come race with the DirtDawg's next weekend, don't wait for LH.

REVO Eating Machine! - RCDad - 09-18-2005

Next weekend I'll be racing on-road in what's to be a really good end-of-track race.

REVO Eating Machine! - Ponch - 09-18-2005

Nice! Looks great. Now we just need to get you that mid tank mod and you'll be hooked up.

Making silk purses from sows ears has never worked...

LOL!!!

(See you at the track, good luck to you)

REVO Eating Machine! - Tex - 09-18-2005

Looks WAY better now! the lowered body makes it look racier.

I like how you say "this is one sweet racer now" when you haven't raced it! :moon:

:joy:

REVO Eating Machine! - RCDad - 09-19-2005

True. I'm glad it won't be so tippy now.

Lowering the body an inch won't change the CG by much. Lower the ride height and see what happens to stability.

Follow this example:

or

REVO Eating Machine! - RCDad - 09-19-2005

Huh? I did lower the height.

REVO Eating Machine! - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 09-19-2005

I guess I missed that in the pictures. The arms are level with the ground. I guess that's as low as a Savage gets unless you start re-engineering it. It just looks tall, is all.

REVO Eating Machine! - RCDad - 09-19-2005

I could put it lower but the arms being level should keep it from tipping. At least that's been the experience of others who have done this mod.

REVO Eating Machine! - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 09-19-2005

I suspect that's true. Level arms is about as low as you can go.

Now, make it wider...........jk.

Or heavier, that will make it more stable if the weight is down low !! How about a steel skid plate for the entire length of the chassis? Should make it untippable.......also, jk.

Race Worthy Savage

- Put a 3/8 to 1/4 inch piece of fuel tubing inside your shock to limit down travel
- Run 25 wt oil
- Run 1 blue and 1 orange spring at each corner
- Set your preload to just bring the Dogbones back to level

These few things should help your truck handle much better

Also set your Camber to Negative 2.. Its help my savage a TON!!!!

REVO Eating Machine! - RCDad - 09-19-2005

Twisted Toys makes extended TVP's that most racers use. I think you can extended the chassis 1 1/2" and it lowers the COG (can't find their website at the moment).

REVO Eating Machine! - rocco79 - 09-19-2005

Wow!! I didnt think you'd be willing to go that far!!!
If i were you get the lowered and extened 1'' versions i have them and I LOVE THEM!!!!! Makes the truck truggy like!!!!

REVO Eating Machine! - rocco79 - 09-19-2005

I think it twisted-toys.com I think.... If that doesnt work go to savage central and search "twisted toys" It should pop up cuz that how i found it when i orderd mine

REVO Eating Machine! - RCDad - 09-19-2005

Well when LH ever opens I want to race and I'm sure they are not going to have on-road nitro races outside until next year.

This is what I need;
