1/6th Scale Savage Conversion

@ Jahay, I could get a plastic one to test, but looked like it would be more difficult to do, plus I'd have to test it out on my one good set, or buy a new set, and really don't feel like spending the time or $$. :)

Don't have it mounted yet, just a photo trick for a mock-up. Width should be ~10mm ea side over the XL width (ie w/ ext axles.) That's with 0 offset hubs. I wanted to get extended hubs to push it out a bit more. It wouldn't be hard to get 20+mm (.75-1.0") ea side over the XL.


Maybe the body does look okay. It was just a bit shocking yesterday. Painted, trimmed and truck widened a bit and I think it will be great.

So I finally got a good chance to work on the bulkheads. Got them cut down and the first set of arms mounted. Fairly easy once I got everything setup. Decided to leave the center skid plate screw hole and notch the arms around it. No arm braces yet for it. Also made a coupler from nylon to mount the upper arms as well. A little bulky, but came out stronger than I expected. Pretty happy so far.

IDK if this is a final solution, but something to get it working for now. I can make it pretty later.

It looks really good. Have you tried the LST2 arms? they are wide and u can use the knuckle and CVDs. from what i've heard they are bullet proof.
