LST2 CVD on Savage?

[Jahay]

If you believe and obviously seem to have tried and realised that the LST setup will not work which is a shame...

But that is promising about the CEN GST

Im a little confused...

The savage you saw had savage rear setup but a CEN GST Front setup...
Does this mean the arms and hubs come out the same distance? So we are not adding any extra width then? Otherwise the front would be wider than the rear?

I was looking at some CEN Parts... They look very robust and the hub/axle/shaft look extremely tough! Hopefully should increase stock savage steering throw as well without the worry of shafts popping out of the axle thanks to the cvds...

What also looks exciting, is as you said... the CEN Lower arms should fit onto a savage bulk hopefully without or with very little modding and shimming possibly???

I would definitely run some baja rims and just use a 1mm thick layer of alloy tape over the CEN GST 23mm hexs.

Please get some pics up...

Nope, the lst setup would not work unless you could find a longer lower arm that would fit all of the savage components.

Heres a pic that shows the lst lower arm next to the savage lower. Hinge pin sizes are identical, not that it helps...





Almost identical in length, the lst arm is about .5mm longer.

I am not sure exactly how the arm lengths compare but they must be pretty close to the same length. The wheels on the truck with the cen arms on the front looked to line up pretty good with the savvy arms on the rear. He was using cen hubs all the way around, and I am not sure if that widens the truck any. However, since the axles are much more sturdy and the bearings are larger I can imagine that a full offset wheel (deep dish) would work just fine and add some width.

The arms look like they will fit either inside or outside the al hinge pin braces. I am betting they fit inside, look about the same as the savage where they mount. When the hubs come in I will be able to see eexactly how they fit.
