That looks like a Savage that is maketed towards girls. After all, it has a VW Beetle body (that car is very popular with women now).

I do like the idea of being able to run a Savage in-doors, I guess I'll get the E-Zilla upgrade and a more masculine body, like a Mazda RX8 body (if they make one for Savages).

Status: offline 		Not a girl or sissy or anything, but I kinda' like it.. I'd get a new body.., but somehow it seems to have a wider, more aggressive stance than the E-zilla. It looks like somebody's pushing the front end down??..

But yeah, I had an E-zilla, and though with good batteries it could really move, ultimately electric just didn't thrill.. Felt too toy-like.

Still though, maybe this means that with HPI-backing the E-MAXX will in fact get some more comp, and that spare and tuning parts will become more available..

BTW, like five months after selling it, I recently got a random package in the post from Hot Bodies with an E-zilla drive-shaft part that I never ordered or asked about..

Status: offline 		I wonder if the E-zilla makers had rock crawling in mind? After all, rock crawlers are eletric. I also wonder if the E-Savage can be mad ultra-flexible like your run-of-the-mill rock crawler?
