With the std savage width setup and some low offset wheels the 5t body fits quite nicely.

Who was looking at big tires for their Savvy? Check out the 40 series that the link that RC4Wd sells - kinda cool stuff.

I would actually like to see some pics of this set-up with the baja body. I personally hate the way that the baja 5t body sits the stock baja 5t. The wheels stick out to far for my liking.

What would be the most ideal motor for this set-up??

best motor would either be the 1520 or the 1717 as long as you don't weigh the truck down too much or gear for >50mph. the 1717 would have less trouble with it and could be geared higher, but the 1520 should be plenty as well.

I wàtched the videos a few times that are avail for the 5t and I have to say I'm not too impressed with the way it handles with that much extra length. It loses all nibleness and suspension does not have enough travel. IMO I think the xl length and width is a very nice balance for a all around balanced rig. Of couse this is only from viewing vids and purely speculation.

my savage came with extended plates and i didn't like how it handled. i converted it back to standard length and i like it much better now. but, then again, i like the shorter wheelbase because a shorter wheelbase makes backflips easier. backflips are easily my favorite rc stunt, whether there is a jump involved or not
