Default ANYONE EVER GET THE LOW CG SAVAGE CHASSIS?

I was wondering if anyone has ever bought the low center of gravity chassis for there savage and if it made much difference. I have posted the link to it on tower.

I bought the FLM one, off ebay. Since found out you need a different engine plate and will not work with the roto start.

I had one, and it worked great, but I don't race, so I'm selling it. If you want to buy it check out my ads. I got mine to work with the rotostart by taking my dremel and cutting down the rear brace thing.

It probably looks like BS coming from me, as I am trying to sell mine, but in all honesty, I did notice a big difference when I had them on. I never flipped.

I have to say im very surprised to see that nobody has mentionned the plates Chronic makes yet. Check out this thread to see a sample of his LCG TVPs and if you want some drop him a pm. I have a set, my friend has a set, im getting more for my other savages, they are in my opinion tby far the best you can get.

Somebody needs to make a good, simple roll cage that will work with the stock chassis.

I want - and need - some rear Spurstangen eliminators...(Damn!! Sometimes I can only remember part names in one language but not the others......)

These:





Once I get ahead financially too, I want to buy several sets of Chronic's TVP's then sell them in Germany...

What we need is a Chronic TVP sticky thread where everybody can post pics of theirs.....

Those little brackets pictured look like a very easy part to make. I would also like to get into engine modding. I am currently doing my research on it.

Something simple that works good. There's alot of crappy roll cages around and alot of them leave the engine vulnerable to roll-over/crash damage. I think it was Twisted Toys that makes the only real good roll cage, but it only works with his extended TVPs. Something that covers the engine head, but still allows you to use the glow ignitor easily.
