and just a good action shot

il get pics of the body up soon still working on adding a cage and gas tank in the bed

Looks good, nice shots...I love the upside down pic, I don't think I ever thought of stopping to take a pic before flipping the truck back over. Very clever.

lol thanx it was a 4 foot drop of in a dry creek so it was harder to get down there and get it back so i wanted to get a pic of it nd i had a camera cuz i was shooting some vids that day but i think i when my rear tires go bald im gonna try to narrow them and run them up front to make a buggy pede

edit: ok so took it apart and the plate that the top bolts to came out so with so channal locks it snaped back in and hopfully it will hold and vid soon i promise and for the pll who dont like calm i jumped myself a few times

VIDS ARE HERE
sry for bad editing slow internets right now so no extras
the damage to the top of the motor

That end bell doesn't look that bad (based on the pic).

ya its hard to tell but it has a cut in all the fins the motor works fine now but it landed hard on the motor and just tore it apart but any one know if someone makes a motor gaurd that go's up and aound the tranny and motor?or is it back to home depot?

I would never stand under a jumping stampede, I'd end up missing the jump and nailing my self. I barely trust my self jumping over me with my micro-t. I no longer like big scales because the motors don't alst even a close to as long as micro motors (180 and smaller) Al though ti does look like a lot of fun.

i have good aim and this motor is like 4 months old and still running but the hard thing is jumping urself with a revo off those ramps and revo's hurt

wouldn't a revo be easier cuz the whole 10-15 mph faster thing??? i could easilly jump my self standing up with my savage if i dont screw up the take off, and savages hurt more they weigh more.... i was running the stock motor i got in my evader 2.5 years after i got it, i finially went BL...

the lug

revo is bigger so harder to hit ramps and it HURTS to get nailed in the side and then have ur shoe lit on fire (gas tank craked and cooling head sparked aginst concret) buti found a new motor just need to order it

I love it...I have been worried about the number of complete wimps we seem to be raising lately...it's good to see some people who are still willing to injure themselves for fun.

Oh and, no, I'm not kidding...just one warning, when you get old you will feel a lot of those aches and pains every morning so make sure you really have fun getting them.

ive never taken a drivect hit from my savage, just the evader, its drawn blood... more blood than you'ld think possible, and also my B4 nice litte cut on the foot little rc at 30 to the foot not too fun, tho i've been totally sprayed with rocks by my savage, b4 and evader too thats not fun, i've also hit other people in the head with rocks, from spitting them they HURT, i've hit stuff over 10 FT away with m B4, BL of couse but still.... i wanna mount up my badlands on it that would be insanity...

the lug

the hardest blow yet was my revos wheel fell of and hit a bump and hit me in the

ok well started to clean my truck and well it ended up like this
