RE: Getting a Savvy for X-mas
Basics of what you need to make the truck run:
1) glow starter n charger
2) fuel transfer bottle
3) fuel
4) lots n lots of aa bats.
5) batt for roto start n charger (unless your going with pull starter)
You might want to get some extra parts just in case like extra one ways n glow plugs n glow starter n roto start batt.
Let me tell you that having your day cut short cuz of one of these little things dying on you really sucks so its best to allways have extras.
As for best prices well all i can suggest is ebay, my friend is building himself a savage from parts hes getting from ebay and so far he has about 75% of truck for around 150$ canadian(he got a 2 speed tranny for 6.50 us a few nights ago)... cant beat that! I also have ordered many parts from ebay and so far im verry happy with prices.
