Take one .15 Thunder tiger SSK then add a .25 Savage big block and this is what you get:












Should be pretty interesting

The Savage engine is physically almost twice as big, and it only just fitted in.

Took out the front propshaft so it's rear wheel drive and it's got a 2 speed gearbox, just got to put a reciever in it, when I find the damn thing!

Was in Heath's today and looked at modifying the Jato wheelie bar, but couldn't bring myself to pay £20 for a bit of ally plate and plastic wheels when I can make my own up out of mild steel and make it spark when it wheelies

Now got all the parts to finish the Savage, so that's going to be rebuilt tonight, current specs:

Spektrum R/C radio
High torque steel geared servos
Front and rear anti roll bars
Ally steering posts/saver
Titanium 47T spur gear
Hardened steel 17T Clutch bell
Hardened steel bevel gears
3 Speed gearbox
Reverse Module
Team Orion Wasp .28 engine

Just hope the damn thing starts and stays tuned!!

Just took the SSK out, and does it fly!!!!!! though second gear wasn't kicking in.

Spur gear is fine, though it's killed the diff!
