1/6th Scale Savage Conversion

[Finnster]

The other issue I ran into was the arms for the rear. Specifically, being able to position the rear arm to get 0 caster and not block the shock mount. I was planning on just flipping the upper arm around in back, and the caster would be close to 0. However, that then mounts the arm right above the shock mount. There is no chock mount for the other side, and going out from the upper arm makes the upper shock mount way off the shock tower.

Ideal solution would be a curved upper arm, like a LST. Otherwise I could try to come up with some compromise with the tower, else ditch the rear steer and just mount a mbx6t rear arm with fixed hubs and go from there. Had been mulling this anyway, as I have enough sav parts to make two Savs now, and maybe I'll make one a 4ws monster truck style with my current arms and bulkheads, the other a 2ws speed demon beetle.

Looking at some of the TCS and other sav 5T conversions, the steering isn't that bad, and the truck would still shorter, with a CD, and the mugen steering setup. Basically. I don't think a truck with a 1520 on 8s would handle 4ws well anyway.
