RE: A Traxxas Revo 3.3 or a Savage XL???
Sounds like a couple of guys from the reko boards decided to come bash Savages, if you are that upset with the Savage and Hpi, buy a revo.
These two posts are a whole like walking into a weightlifting gym, picking out the biggest guy in there and hitting him with a 2x4, what kind of response do you think you are going to get?
Sorry about your bad luck with the savage, the spur gears are user error, one way or another. bb
