m3lyc Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi, i want to make my hpi savage lower but i don't know how to do it so can anyone help please thanks Rhys Sorry buy why the hell would you want to do that? When doing huge jumps, dont you want the higher ground clearance so the suspension takes the most of the hard landing? Just a thought.

rush-evo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Bacause i want it to have better handling on tarmac Change the shock settings... (play about with the different mounts) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt-01 mamba Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 i've removed all the clips on the shocks and moved them to the 1st mounting postition. It seemed to sit lower than in the shocks were at the 3rd hole. Handles great on flat grass. (the first hole in the lowest one. the holes are closest to eachother.

Mr Terminator Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 The racers use the lower centre of gravity chassis plates that you can get and widen the track aswell,that seems to solve the rollover problem that the Savage and most MTs suffer from...

joe of loath Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 meh, the best way to lower a savage is to run it over with a car and buy a revo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumungous Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 No you've got that wrong... that's the quickest way to lower your intelligence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe of loath Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 No you've got that wrong... that's the quickest way to lower your intelligence! considering the amount of toxic chemicals in a savage probably! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerrorTrooper Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) adding a short length of Fuel tube to the shaft on the inside of each shock would work too.. Perhaps using heavier oil will help with the reduced shock travel. Edited July 22, 2008 by TerrorTrooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See in the middle, there's the shaft... and by the nut is the "piston" (basically a small plastic disc) with the holes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
