Murdered Savage - 08-11-2008, 12:36 PM

Some of you may have seen my recent shell updates to my Savage 4.6SS.



I started this project (code named: Raven) with the intention of completely blacking out EVERY single piece on this Savage to complete the "murdered" look.

Fortunately Savages come with a good amount of black parts to begin with. I have ordered a low CG Carbon Fiber chassis already. I do want to seek the forums opinion on wheels and tires.

I'm leaning real hard towards these HPI Goliath tires with Blast wheels:




The Goliath tires are a bit larger than the stock "Dirt Bonez" and I was wondering if anyone has used them on a Savage around here. OR. Are there any recommended gearing suspension hop-ups I should be considering with a larger heavier tire?

The Raven is completely stock save for Aluminum Threaded shocks BTW. This is a fun truck and outside of some friendly parking lot drag racing I don't have any competitive plans to worry about at this point. So it's really a ball of clay to me. I've had it for almost two years and have only broken 2 A-Arms and 4 shocks in a crash with a dumpster.

Thanks guys and your opinions are valued or I wouldn't have asked.

I'll post some carnage later.

I also found someone that had the same wheel tire combo and I think I like it even more now:
