I am wondering if someone with both trucks could let me know how hard it would be to make the SavageX rollbar and engine quard work on my Savage 25? I have all necessary tools I just dont want to pay for one and have it shipped to me just to find out it will take some major fabrication to make it work. I really dont have the time right now to fab specific brackets but would buy one in a heart beat if all I had to do was drill and tap some holes. I read on the HPI site that the engine guard will work but I would like the whole thing.

My stocker has finally had enough and I thought I would look down this avenue before I bought another flimsy stocker. This summer I plan on making my own out of some good plastic but that is still a couple of months away.

Help me you lucky people that have the luxury of owning both, or have access to both.

Thanks in advance,
Tim

tmod, HPI has the X conversion set out. it's part number 87250. it doesn't show up at Tower yet, but ask your LHS. you'll also need to run the X VCP's on your S25 if you want the rollbar/engine guard, IIRC.

VPCs? I am not aware of what they are. I know of the conversion kit but I really dont want a lot of stuff that comes with it. I already have the radio box on order(should be here thurs) and have no need for much else in the kit. I dont like the idea of light weight control arms either, sounds like breakage to me. The easy access diff sound nice but mine were recently sealed up with new fluid and will be good for a long time.

Thanks for the input though.

VCP=vertical chassis plate.

Ahh, you originally said VPC. I usually refer to them as TVPs(twin vertical plates).

C'mon, someone has to have both or know people with both.
