The junk yard truck.

[rcoverboard]

I was sitting there the other night trying to clean up my shop. My parts box was getting a little full so I decided to see if I had enough parts to build a third Savage. Well other than a slipper setup and throttle linkage, I did!!! So I did what any self loving RCer would do and decided to start putting it together. I just figured that if I needed any screws I would pick them up, well I didn't even need any of those lol. So here is the Junk Yard Savage sitting with its older siblings.





It's the one with the old style chassis.
So now I need 2 motors

Well, I took care of the motor and slipper problems last night. I got a complete tranny with RRP gear for $12 and then I got a SH.28 P3 brand new out of a XTM for $75. So I will now have 3 running Savages. I think the SH may bounce between the Junkyard truck and my Hyper. At least till I can afford another engine.

Well, it is done!!! I got the spur today, and the engine came yesturday. I will post pics once they are uploaded.

It got a freshly painted body as well. Tom requested that I do a Re White and Blue body for the December 6th show, so here it is.

Well, I got the engine broke in today. Then started tuning. This thing runs the same as my P8, lots of power even when it is cold. I was having a little fun drifting with the cut chevrons. Then had an opps, jumped the curb and cracked the top fin of the cooling head. Oh well, every truck needs battle scars.
