This vid is on how to convert the Savage from a fuel tank that is on the side of the engine, which adds more weight to the rear of the kit, to the front. This aids in balance but also reduces mid tank lean conditions that plague the savage x ss xl series.
This video is vid 1 of the series that explains the project and also shows how to make the templates so that the conversion is accurate and easy to do.

They came powder coated that way.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:35 am
Did you powder-coat the FLM TVP’s? I think I remember they used to sell already coated ones in black, but maybe I’m thinking of another brand.
October 6th, 2008 at 11:25 am
Fast Lane Machine (FLM). If they break then I will get the tried and true New Era TVPs and hen powder coat them black,
October 7th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Ohh okay. I’ll keep that in mind. They do have lots of bling like you said. What Savage TVP’s are those? They are nice :]!
October 9th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Their piggy back shocks for the LST, tools, and other items are pretty good. Their issue is that their aluminum is cheap becuase it is not tempered. The extra heating of the metal makes it stronger but also makes it cheaper over all which is their selling point. That and lots of bling.

Sounds like a good question to post on the forum

I thought everything that is Integy doesn’t work. Haha.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:10 am
That is a X SS kit that is the same size as the XL. I bought this before the XL came out and have been running the XL specs for years.
That is my savage! How to convert it to these specs are on my forum.
October 21st, 2008 at 3:09 am
I always laugh when people buy the integy tank guards. They do not help. LOL

nice black label society
October 25th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
hey man
that looks like a savage xl chassis am i right? also do i really have to do this conversion? cuz im getting my savage x ss soon and i dont want any problems with it because tba iv had a bad history when having brand new cars ( tuning setup and bits not screwed on tightly..engine lol ) and is that your savage…it looks like a beast man lol
October 27th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Oops, I meant it helps prevent tank damage, not help make it more prone to tank damage. Sorry!
October 28th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
I’d also like to add this also helps tank damage. The location on the regular position was very prone to rocks being smashed into it without using a tank guard, but doing this will also benefit to other things. I’m going to be doing this to my Savage also. Another great video Squirrel :D.

the chassis plates are longer than the xl plates and the shocks are losi shocks. the same ones on the aftershock.
October 31st, 2008 at 8:53 am
Hey squirrel….What chassi is that? is it as long as the new XL savage?
And did u like the Big bore shocks? r they any different than the stock?
October 31st, 2008 at 10:39 am
