Sounds pretty cool. As Got Rocks? said drop the nitro, it causes forum fires.

Sounds like you need to put this Hummer body on a Savage.

If its the Hummer I think you're talking about, its not going to fit on a savage. Way to big. Its like 1:6 scale.

ya its huge and no it wont fit on a savage chassis but find a pre fabed chassis or make one from aluminum just use savage tranny and diff, and other goodies but use the big battery powered motor and hole new wiring and other junk to make this thing better than what it was
