dazzi220 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I've been offered a haggered savage 21 for £60, the guy says the servos are gone,reciever is playin up but other than that it jus needs a good clean. He assures me the engine is in good condition and is gonna email me some pics of the piston head later (which I will post) He said theres a few marks on the head caused by a glow plug popping. So seeming I'm already getting a 4.6 I was thinking of buying the 21 and getting a twinzilla conversion kit for it. The 21 is completly stock apart from a disc break so all I'll need are some new servos and a reciever then the twinzilla. My only concern is: will the 21 be able to handle the 2 engines? I don't want to be replacing the diffs etc every two mins, so do you guys think this is a good idea? any advice Thanx Dazz (piston pics later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Im not sure if it was me that i could be bothered with the hassle of tuning 2 engines, but maybe you could put the extended chassis on it and whack a collari .32 in it or somethin. oh and he must of been really ragging that savage to keep popping glow plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big T Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Don't take this as gospel but I heard none of the Savvy diffs can take the power of the twinzilla.......but it sounds like fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 heres the pics of the piston although it don't matter if I get a twinzilla hopefully u can see em cos I can't lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I would buy it and work on it, but not bother with the twinzilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_TiGGer Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Don't flame me if I've got a couple of reviews swapped around, I understood the Twin Zilla conversion included diferent .... erm ..... those upright chassis plates that go from front to back, thereby lenghening the chassis. Somehow I got the impression this was required???? However Dazz for £60? Do it up make it a tidy runner and sell the bugger on eBay, don't you already have a collari powered Savvy anyway? As always ... IMHO Grrrr:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 buy it and use it to have all the parts of if any thing goes on yuor other one. the diffs wont be able to cope with the torque going through them. nits basicly like having a truckzilla kit on there, just not quite as bad...

dazzi220 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 but why would I want to use a 21 wen I'll have the 4.6? the whole reason I am thinkin of buyin it is to give it some balls and an excuse to get a twin engines truck lol but if the 2 engines are gonna cause probs then its not worth my time, I'd rather put the money into the 4.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 do the teinxilla thing if one engine is a oain to tune just run it on 1 for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcsammy Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 i guess it will justengage the clutch on the slower one not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salman Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 trash the spur i'd expect ← How could it? Have you ever seen a Savage? Man, Most of your comments are just Plain Dumbass!

madmanluke Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 if one of the engines is just as little as 1 rmp faster than the other, that one engine is taking all the load of the truck. 60 is woorth it to have a spare truck for spares. basicly means ul never need to buy a spare part for aaaaaaages unless u want to hop it up.

dazzi220 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 I bought the 21, it starts up fine but won't budge cos of the servos buggered, dunno what I'm gonna do with it. Goin to MS next week to get a 4.6 me thinks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitromotorhead Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 You’ve done the right thing buying that sav.21 You now have a full back up of parts for the sav4.6 when you get it. And you can always hop it up as you please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_TiGGer Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 i guess it will justengage the clutch on the slower one not sure though Personally don't see how the slower one would disengage, but the thought of trying to tune two engines to perfection with each other?? Screw that!! Get a .60 aero engine to satisfy your lust for power I see the future I see much grief with Truckzilla that only a Tibeten monk would have the required calm spirit not to take a hammer to it on the 3rd hour of attempting to tune it up!! Can't wait to read your results Dazz Grrrr:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINPOWER Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 there is nothing wrong with twin engine savages all you do is tune one engine get it warm when its running wright stop it and start the second engine tune that then start the first engine and there you have it so if you can tune one engine you can tune two i have had no trouble with my twin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
