Default Savage ss build time

how long does it take to build the ss? Also could someone who has built r/c airplanes and is a probly intermidiate builder build it? I havn't built anything like this. Does it require soldering? How hard is the ss to fix? How does it compare performance wise to the t-maxx for bacyard bashing?

Thanks
Ethan

It's not bad at all - I'm currently building mine and the worst thing is waiting for the hopup parts to arrive. I'm jumping threw the manual as I can because the first thing is the diff assy. and I'm adding GPM diff locks so I jumped around like building the shocks (just for fun because I'm adding piggyback shocks) which is the longest and toughest thing to do but look at about 2 good evening of building or 8 hours.
