Well, since Paul went and got that Genesis, I figured, now I need something to be able to hang with him! LOL I love my Savage, and couldn't think of replacing it with something like the Genesis (even though that's an awesome truck), so I went and got the Hot Bodies Truckzilla Conversion. Should go pretty smoothly. And can't wait to see the kind of power this .46 produces. And soon I'll be dropping in that new 3 speed tranny from HPI...and it's all over then! hehe Here's a pic, getting ready for the tear down...  |

Here's a comparison between the Savage Chassis Plates, and the Truckzilla ones.  And the .46 mounted to the tranny.  |

I think I'm gonna go with a Jeep Rubicon body (from HPI) for it. Should look the best. The standard truck bodies for the Savage look too small on it now. I do have an El Camino body, that I have finished, but never have run on the truck....that actually fits much better now imo, because of the size difference. But I still don't care for it much...and think I'll just sell the El Camino body. Here's a pic of it...  |
