Savage Flux - 5T Trophy Truck ,1/5 conversion. 1st test.

1st test for my TCS Crawlers chassis conversion . . at least the 1st test since I finished mounting/painting the body. 1st scratches too, LOL. I need a much bigger area but just wanted to get a quick video done - may be weeks before I have time to take it out to the track.

How do you modify the 5t bumper to fit on your car? Please help

@noody13 I cut the existing bar off to leave the mount on the chassis so the diff is still sealed. Then I redrilled the 5T mount to fit on top of the original with longer screws. I modified a couple of old LST2 bulkhead parts to retain the hinge pins and attach the 5T upper mount to. (A lot of grinding, cutting & trimming)

[noody13]

Where do you get metal pieces on the sides of the chassis? The ones under the battery holder

@noody13 A friend of mine made it for me from a piece of aluminium. I had to fold it and get the corners welded.

@russelleden1 well i will have to see how much would you want for it

[russelleden1]

@legoskater84 Well man if you send me enough I'll ship it to you. It's awesome to drive but sadly I don't get enough time for this one. Check my other videos - too many toys. I still haven't had time to ride/film on my WR450!

@russelleden1 lol i could just send you money on paypal to in australian dollars

[russelleden1]

@legoskater84 Come on bro, a couple of hours in a plane and your here. I'm sure you can take it on the plane as hand luggage. Maybe flatten a few pairs of LiPos up and down the aisles on your way home? LOL.

[legoskater84]

lol i would so totally buy this from you but your in australia lol

[russelleden1]

@MrVasquez7 Well I'm in Australia mate so the prices/availability/shipping will vary for you, but I think it was like $200 just for the Proline body, $150 for the TCS Crawlers chassis kit and I found the wheels, tyres and adapters on Ebay for $130(option parts for the 1/5 nitro Savage 5T which I beleive was released in limited quatities here and Japan?). I bought a 5T bumper from Ebay $30. Had to modify that to fit, make body mounts and fabricate a belly plate. Good luck.
