Ryan aka finster was working on the same

I'm sure... Do we know if anything materialised. I know people have adapted truggy arms but I wasn't to have something made up which is a savage arm on one end and a truggy hub on the other. I want to have a stock length so the shd stock shafts work. The truggy hub must accept savage bearings and shd axle...

Um, thats asking a lot. Most truggies have a CVD joint at the hub, and not just the simple dogbone/cup arrangement of the Savage. Your best bet (as long as you are running 17mm wheels) is to just use the hub/axle arrangement from a truggy. I doubt you'll find any that use the same size as the Savage bearings, but who knows. If you want to use the Savage axle, you might be able to but you'd need to find some bearings with the appropriate ID/OD.

I believe it was Jammin X2 rear truggy(http://www.bigsquidrc.com/forum/view...php?f=5&t=1542) arms were used. Probably need to switch the diffs back to the smaller cups to use the truggy drive shafts.

Don't really know that the truggy arms are any weaker than the Savage arms; however they are probably made of a stiffer material than the material used in a Savage so are more likely to break than the Savage which will probably bend more. That being said I've not broken a suspension arm on my RC8Te bashing yet (nor on my various Savages either); then again I'm not doing 20'+ jumps either so mileage may vary.

Personally I wish FLM would make these in an plastic based material.
