The Build – Part 1
We will be starting off the Savage XS SS build like we start off most vehicles; with the differentials. While this Savage may be ‘Mini’, the parts are still a good size so there’s no need to worry if you have big ol’ sausage fingers.
Build Notes:
Since we’ll be working with the differential, you’ll obviously be dealing with differential oil. Make sure your area is nice and clean and have plenty of rags handy for clean-up.
Small Phillips screws hold the differential together. The fit of the screws into the plastic diff half is pretty tight so make sure you have a good, quality Phillips screwdriver or you risk stripping them out.
