My Savage Truggy Project! - 04.16.2010, 04:24 AM

Hi guys it's E-Traxxer if anybody remembers me.. Signed up here again to show you guys my project and gain some insights. Wasn't sure whether to put this in the Savage forum or this forum but I figure it's unique enough to be put here. Anyways, I am and always have been a Savage guy, I just love the reputation it has, the durability, the options, all of it. my dad has recently acquired a Tekno Jammin X2 CRT that is kinda beating the pants off of my current Savage flux, so I told him I was getting a truggy. Making one is more like it. So here's my project. It's in the baby stages right now, but it is what the title says it is, a Savage turned into a truggy. I really wanted to do a TVP style Truggy but I found that it was just too hard to keep the CoG low enough with TVPs, so it's getting a pan chassis, most of which has been drawn out in CAD, I just have to make a few adjustments and it's good to go. After I finish the chassis I am going to draw up some low CoG shock towers, the top chassis plate, and diff mount/battery mount etc. This thing is getting a purple, black and silver theme so I'm going to try and get my pieces anodized black, but we will see how that goes. This thing will be running off an E-Revo Castle Neu (Black) 2200kv on 5s with a MMM of course Anyways, here is a picture of the chassis I am drawing, it's almost done, just have to make some modifications and add a few holes. I have the front and rear ends (mostly) assembled so I'll get pics of those up tomorrow, but this will do for now I hope! If you have any questions or input don't be afraid to speak up!





I actually have a few questions of my own though, maybe somebody could help me out... I have been looking for some custom dogbones for this thing, I have e-mailed Mike and RC-Alloys but haven't gotten a response from either yet, anybody know who will be able to do these? The rear is 165mm long and the front is 60mm long.
I'm also trying to look for an anodizer, I have somebody that will (almost positively) mill out my parts, but I can't seem to track down an anodizer... If anybody knows of one, please let me know! The color scheme on this thing is important to me, for once!

Anyways, hope to become a regular here again, if you have any questions just ask!

Oh also! I am trying to find a good name for this project. My naming ideas are stupid. I keep thinking "Saggy".. combinations of Savage and Truggy just don't work haha, Suggy? SNUGGY? I have one of those, no lie.
