my savage 21 turned "x"
 
heres my savage 21 turned x.
axial 28 spec 1s
jr racing steering servo
hitec throttle/brake servo
3 speed tranny
had rev mod but the stupid small gear in it broke into parts
x shocks, engine plate, x lcg tvp's, x roll bar.

the lights work as you can see i have them hook up to a 7.2 pack that i have mounted to an extra radio box cover.
as you can see in most pics has the stock tires on it witch i hate, now has the 4.6 ss dirt bonz tires on it which are amazing.
i have alot of parts on the way including hpi big bores, aluminum cups and 4 bevel gears for the diffs, and a ton more.

nice truck man. never had a savage personally. but they're nice

badass_savage 11-29-2008 05:32 PM

yea thing is amazing and a ton of fun, and with the axial its crazy, does backflips if i nail it. the drivetrain is suffering bad though from the motor, ive had to replace everything.

guitarboy911 11-29-2008 05:39 PM

haha yeah i know what you mean i have nitro too

badass_savage 11-29-2008 11:25 PM

nothing like the smell of nitro to wake ya up

stang_racer 11-29-2008 11:30 PM

hey wanna tip? if you turn your muffle back down it will be better because the oil wont build up inside the pipe till it finaly flows out the hole. :D and nice truck btw, lol the lights would last long in a hard bashing lol

badass_savage 11-29-2008 11:36 PM

actually havnt had a problem with the pipe like that, makes it slot easier to see the trail of smoke, the pipe is at a slight angle downwards along with the stinger facing the ground by 10 degrees or so so no oil buildup, actully seems to run better. Its the ceap version of a mean side exhaust and its no different then the tias side exhaust pipe, with the way i drive theres no chance of oil buildup haha. And yup the lights are crazy bright love um, I'm starting to wire some LEDs up aswel

my new tuned pipe.

this pipe is amazing, all i can say is WOWWWWW
they wernt kidding when they said its loud, this thing will hurt your ears in enclosed spaces like my garage! but it sounds soooooo cool.
overall the cost was about $66 through towerhobbies, including the pipe, new couplers, 2 different types of defectors, and the 90*
fitting.
i mounted it a different way then what others were doing, instead of the plane kit thing ive seen people used i just cut the stock pipe holders square head off and drilled a hole through the tip, then took a small zip tie and threaded it through a piece of full tube and wrapped it around the pipe and through the hole in the mount. works great and its very steardy.

I have about four savage X shocks upstairs, stock ones.
Let me know if you need them, you pay shipping.

badass_savage 12-31-2008 10:37 AM

its alright man thanks tho, got a bunch of extras.

torredo 12-31-2008 12:24 PM

although there is some stuff done to this truck, looks stock form to me?
still cool to see another savage though!

badass_savage 12-31-2008 12:30 PM

it started out as a savage 21 so theres alot done, there are very few stock parts, i spend money wisely and buy whats needed, not for the bling factor. it may "look" stock but trust me its not haha. i have a bunch of stuff that should be coming in the mail today or tomorrow.
with that pipe it hauls A**

torredo 12-31-2008 08:35 PM

thats another thing i was gonna ask...why lead it up front?
to me that seems like it make quite the mess?

badass_savage 01-01-2009 11:31 AM

nope no mess I have it pointed down right in front of the a arm so the mess goes to the ground not all over the truck. If u knew about the pipe ud know why is going there

torredo 01-01-2009 06:43 PM

w/e, i think the pipe looks like crap imho.
why not a rear exit exhaust. ive seen them out there
/

badass_savage 01-02-2009 04:50 PM

thats why we all have our own trucks so we can do what we want. i mean when i look at your truck theres ALOT i dont like and wouldnt do but its not mine, its whatever makes you happy.
the rear exit's suck, one bad landing and its getting trashed.
with the macs pipe you take function of form. watch my vids you will see.

torredo 01-02-2009 08:42 PM

ill agree with the fact we all have our own tastes but my rig was built for a beating. th only "bling" would have to be the alloy trans case. As far as stock parts on it, the suspension arms are not ever going to be alloy as they just bend anyhow. But when the 5B shocks go on it then it should really haul arse!

other then that, i think your trucks is good an all so im not bashing the truck...just the pipe man!

badass_savage 01-02-2009 08:50 PM

have you watched the vvid man? how cant u love it haha.
not bashing your truck either, i like plastic its cheap, and they dont make the alloy parts in the color i want anyway (green)

torredo 01-02-2009 09:54 PM

cant watch the vid til i get home....work til midnight! lol
but why not powdercoat alloy parts if they dont come that color?
or is the process to hot to do so thus melting the alloy?

badass_savage 01-03-2009 01:25 AM

it's just expensive, not with it in my eyes.

badass_savage 01-07-2009 03:57 PM

got a bunch of stuff for you guys, figure i put it all in one thread instead of multiple.
more vid of my savage along with a friend with his stock x 4.6, he blew it up, melted the carb to the block, the conrod bushing exploded, and
it destroyed the piston and sleeve (sorry no pics ill try and get some).
a few pics of my savy first
u can tell the front end doesnt spend much time on the ground.... font=so much cleaner haha

wadethejuggalo 01-07-2009 09:35 PM

on the top of the motor is that one of those stickers claiming its hot or thats if you open it up it voids the waranty or something.

badass_savage 01-07-2009 09:49 PM

nah just says read instructions before starting

torredo 01-08-2009 12:12 AM

heheheh!
that sticker would have to come off for a few reason anyhow right! lol

1. it gets hot
2. thats where you access the glow plug

badass_savage 01-08-2009 06:54 PM

yea kinda need to remove it to start the engine haha
