Hi guys. Just after an opinion on a few aftermarket parts that I intend to fit to my Savages. I want to fit a rear wing to one of them and have a spare wing kit from my RC8Te that I have laying around. I think it should be an easy fit with a aluminum aftermarket shock tower. Dril couple of holes and should be all done. I also have plans for making up a reinforcement of some kind to the TVPs to the shock tower to prevent it bending from the force applied by the wing in crashes. That is the easy part. What I am having trouble with is which brand of shock tower to go with. There are quite a few options and I am stumped. One thing I know I don't want anything from Integy.
Second on the list is shocks. I have bought some CEN piggy back shocks. I have rebuilt them (even though they were new) and filled them with fresh oil and they already started to leak before I even mounted them on the truck. I also didn't have much luck with the stock Flux shocks neither. One run on them and couple of them started to leak. Are there any better options? I saw the Aluminum Big Bores from HPI. Bit on the pricey side but then I saw
THESE and thought if I am going to be spending that kind of money I might as well go all the way. Are they any good? Anyone have experience with them? Judging by the price they should be able to take just about anything.
Last thing (for now) is the diffs. I know that the stock BP diffs are a good thing but I have heard here and there that they can be beefed up using Hot Bodies parts I think. Would anyone be kind enough to tell me from which exact model to use the diff parts from?
I guess that is it for now.
