Fullforce RC Savage Chassis PlatesIntroduction
Fullforce RC has just what you need with their carbon-fiber twin chassis pate set for the Savage. Aside from the stunning looks that carbon-fiber offers, you get a reduction in overall flexibility as well as a reduction in weight. The 3mm thick plates reduce the stock Savage’s weight by a total two ounces. At first this may not seem like a lot, but as anyone who has tried to shave some weight can tell you, any weight reduction is often very hard to come by. While I installed the chassis plates alone, you should also keep in mind that Fullforce also offers additional carbon-fiber components for the Savage as well. So you can also shed the aluminum suspension pin braces in favor of carbon-fiber, as well as switching to a carbon-fiber brake disk if you so desire. If the attractiveness of carbon-fiber appeals to you, as well as the lesser weight you’re probably curious to hear how well they work. Follow along as I swap them onto a Savage for a test, and then see how well they perform!

The HPI Savage is no lightweight truck, and even though it is powered by a big block motor many owners still strive to reduce its overall weight to enhance performance. If you fall into this category, perhaps you’ve considered replacing the chassis plates with something lighter than the stock aluminum plates. Something like…carbon-fiber!
