5th scale savage project

[lincpimp]

OK, bringing the 5th scale savvy back from the dead...

Anyways, I just traded a guy for a set of the HPI savage 5t tvps, custom motor mount, and center driveshafts!

So I will have something to start with and maybe, just maybe I can get this beast rolling! He also has it setup for a 1/4 scale seteering serov, which I am also getting from him. I will give it a try with the 1521 2y on 10s lipo with the lt10 esc. Gear conservatively at first. Not sure if I will run the 5t body with this chassis, but I want to get a feel for power requirements.

I really need to get back into rc, but I lost a guy at work (he moved to texas) and I am also trying to get my house ready to put on the market. I have been doing drywall repairs and installing lights all weekend. Plus I put in an offer on a big house today... Hope I can get it!

I will try to get all of this together and put some time on it... Maybe???

You might already have something better given your line of work, but I stole these from my wife, and they work GREAT for drywall sanding....no more dust in the eyes, and they dont fog as bad as other goggles.

I laughed at those when I read what they were but then again I HATE wearing my googles due to fogging. I might have to get the pink set
