What trucks are allowed to run in the monster truck class beside revo's t-maxx's? Savage's ok to run in there w/them? Just curious cause I just picked one up!:headbang: Any info would help, cause I need to build another 10th scale GT now that I traded mine off for this savage!:crazy:

Thanks Matt:headbang:

Yes you can race a salvage. Ask Rocco.... he kicked all of our asses with his $25492 salvage.

Nice, I take it Rocco had a little a cash stuffed in it! What about engine limit?

Thanks Matt:headbang:

I don't know about all of the engine rules in SMT. Rocco had a buttload of cash into his but the thing looked like a truggy on the track. I'm sure if you talk to him he could at least give you a couple tips to make it more raceable....

I don't belive they have a limit at LH a decent .21-.28 for the Savy would be fine.

Sweet! I'll have to pm him or something? Thanks for the help Dan! You back down at school now?

Thanks Matt:headbang:

Thanks for the info Jerry! I finally started working the GT that ya painted the Dirt Oval body for!! Soon it'll be done:beer:

Thanks again!:headbang:

I'm getting the same one you have. Seems great for the money. I will need leads for a glow starter and receiver pack though.

Sweet, ya know ya keep shoving money into it you'll be like Rocco!:poke: j/k Hope to meet ya one of these times at the track, along with a buncha other guy's, I was gonna come to the pizza party but no thanks to work for that one!mash: mash:

Ive been out of the savage/SMT racing scene for the better part of a year but to make a capable savage racer isnt the most economic route , but with the RIGHT upgrades i see no reason why you couldnt dominate the current MT crowd! (No offense to anyone buddy but thats my Opinion)

My experiences are with the 1st gen savages not the "X" so heres what i can suggest...
- any sh motor (xtm 24/7pro,mach 26 or 28,sh 28) they make a huge difference
- go with 7k oil in the front diff and 3k in the rear
- LOWER YOUR RIDE height and center of gravity (bones level) if you get and "X" the chassis is already lower but if its a 1st gen. savage you need a twisted toys chassis! Super tough and will make your savage handle like a truggy
- AND CUT OFF ALL THE PLASTIC YOU DONT NEED LIGHTEN LIGHTEN LIGHTEN!!!!!!!!! Take off the bumpers roll bar and anything else you can to cut the excess weight
that will get you on the right track...
Heres a pic of my savage winning the race for the cure A-main race

beat the current mt crowed huh. i havent had enough time behind the wheel of the revo to unlesh this bottled up beast. akathe darth revo

Yes dude.. No offense but the thumping you'd receive would be Uglyyyyyyyyyy!

rigggggggght.......

there is no way in hell i would beat ur savage. but some of these other people maybe

Roc....Twisted Toys is no more, they stopped making stuff about a year ago you can still find some of the stuff floating around in BST forums at savage-central.com though.

Vantage makes a decent looking chassis, similar to the TT ones.

yeah and that guys been driving rc's most of his life

It's now kicked behind the couch, collecting dust and rust...

Thanks a ton Roc, you still got the Savage? If so bring it out and we'll see how bad inferno st thinks he is, I was there Sun watching some rounds and i'm with what Roc said:moon: What's the site for twisted toys? Or where did you get the chassis thru?

Thanks Matt:headbang:

Screw it.... If I win the raffle I think I am taking the 3.3 revo. I'll leave it stock until I break something I need to upgrade. I would do rockers then, pushrods, FOC, and steering. I want to play i nthe basher class again.
