This is not a kit. I like the lightweight of the savage and its awesomeness and wanted the torque and power from the cen gst. I dont like the gst, its a beefy truck but it is way to heavy. So i decided to just cnc a custom plate using autocad and solidworks to fit a cen 7.7 gst engine and pipe, without having to modify the flywheel like some conversion kits have. I used everything from the cen engine that was out of the gst, so if i need to replace parts i can still get them. I also end milled the tvp to fit it, not much tho, can be done with a dremel, but i am anal, so i used an end mill. My mod keeps the rigidness of the original savage instead of making entirely new twin plates. This is the first startup with Break in period. The truck has 3 speed trans with upgraded 3rd gear, Robinson racing 46t spur gear, (I had a 48t but it was way too torqy and doing backflips like crazy and thru off my gearing so the trans didn't shift right, so the 46t fixed that, 46t is also the default spur gear tooth for the cen gst) hpi bulletproof diffs front and rear. Titanium turnbuckles (piece of shit, don't buy integy, they broke and bent from moderate jumps.) Upgraded Hitec steering servo, xl twin plates and dogbone, 1.5 in wheel extenders(they suck too, making my own that actually fit right) aluminum bulk heads for diffs, stainless steel twin disk brakes(they suck! I am making my own disk with custom brake shoes with larger surface area and contact. I am now waiting for my upgraded ...
