Belive it or not, I got mine cheaper from the lhs "hobby town" not only did i get it 5 bucks cheaper, i didn't have to pay shipping and handling. Plus they had them in stock, so i didn't have to wait for mr. ups to come..

LandShark

whatever, you guys will be happy with it.

its an awesome truck

got mine from the LHS for the same price as tower.

had to wait for the order to come in though (their supplier didnt ship them the day they said they shipped them ) but its in, its done with the initial break in and im having a blast tearing up the grass in my yard.

LandShark

really, my LHS has the savage for 499.99 + tax.

i didnt buy savage from them, but i spent more

than 150 dollars in there. when i asked them for

some small help, they still give me faces. any way

they helped me. if not, i will never buy stuff from

their shop.


i wanna support them. but 110 dollars more expensive?

i cant, i dont make any money, i am still a student.

Same as Landshark for Pyroman2000, Brewyet, and myself.... it doesn't take long at all to spend 50 - 100 on stuff at the LHS.

Boy Howdy! I walk into the LHS and I swear I hear a vacum cleaner sound and feel my money being sucked right out of my pockets!

When running full speed down your street and making that tight turn into your driveway (gravel driveway, street tires).... make sure you turn clear of the tree.

slid the back left wheel into the tree (HARD) and broke the steering arm control horn (again).

HPI has released an update on this part though so as soon as the LHS gets in spares I will send the stock ones back and get new ones (for FREE!!!! http://www.hpiracing.com/kits/savage-u.htm )

this is the only weak part that I have found on tha savage. I hit the tree so hard that if it were my buggy I would be replaceing the shock tower, the a-arm, the upright, the dogbone, etc etc. All I have to do now is swap it out with one from the opposite side, then go

Unstable

what spring are you talking about....

here is the exploded view of the tranny from the HPI site so you can say the part number.

also you shouldnt have to take the engine out to get to the tranny.

in the instructions for the reverse module they show hot to do it with only removing one side panel.
