RE: GS XUT PRO Thread
How is the XUT holding up to that kind of power and is it durable in general? Do you think The RTR clutch/motor will be able to push these:

RE: GS XUT PRO Thread
I was tuning and adjusting my XUT on the driveway so I set the camera up and took a little video of the truck.

RE: GS XUT PRO Thread
He put the GS motor in his Revo I think. I want those tires to gain a little ground clearance for bashing becuase this what I will be doing with my XUT. And more cushion for jumps. But what other tires would be good for bashing? Are those k-rocks too big for the truggy? I wasnt sure so I thought I would ask. Maybe some mashers... I wish they made moabs in the standard MAXX size... Thanks.

RE: GS XUT PRO Thread
Despite what some may say but most will agree...there really isnt a truggy that'll handle hardcore bashing time and time again like the MT's... the truggys are ment for racing...I didnt say you cant bash with them....they just wont hold up like an MT will...I may have jus opened a can of worms....but at the end of the day where we go n bash our trucks...the Savages are the last ones standing, and yes...the Losi LST 2 as well...it may not be MY favorite but the LST2 is a tuff truck.

I hear where you are coming from but I have two MTs and I want to try a different type of truck to bash with. I think I will go with these:

Yes the Savage is one tough son of a biotch. But the Savage X people were having trouble with the TVP's breaking. I never looked if the updated ones were any better

First off let me say this...I DO NOT race...there are no local tracks. But as far as my Truggy collection goes...an old school GS SUT..one of the FIRST originals,Losi Muggy Mugen MBX5T, and just picked up an XUT for gits n shiggles to see how it'll go...one of the main reasons for this purchase is that I really like the motor in it..although not the most powerful mill out there but incredibly easy to break in and tune...as a matter of fact I cant remember the last time I had problem with it. I've sold off an HB LSP and a few of the guys I run with have CRT's, a Mutilator,and one just grabbed the Matrix...cant wait to see her go....For the most part we all started out with MT's and some tried others...but the bash crowning King still remains to be the Savage...there really isnt a truck as strong...(ok ok LST 2 for those Losi guys) I dumped my original LST and practicly gav my Mammy away....but I like the Savage for what it is and you gotta agree its one tuff truck outta the box. Ive said this many times before the Savage is still "King of the Hill" at the end of the day.

RE: GS XUT PRO Thread
Well I thought this was a GS XUT thread but since its now the MT vrs Truggy I will add that I have a Revo with over $2000 worth of upgrades and its like a picky little woman that breaks down every time I run it.
I have NOT had one problem from my XUT as of yet and Im driving it harder then I ever did the Revo.

why yes my CRT is the king of durability in my stable... we have 3 savages, a Revo, a CEN Matrix pro, Mugen MBX5T and a Hellfire... The CRT Pro does stuff that leaves the Savages in peices...
Actualy I will say structuraly the Savage is decent, its its driveline that causes the most issues...
and you cannot compare the RTR CRT to the Pro CRT, there is a signifigant difference...
I think MT's are a waste of money when you can have a Truggy...

RE: GS XUT PRO Thread
Whats it matter....because Im not running an RB, Nova, or an STS like you makes me inferior to the hobby and not have any knowledge? Like I said I just bash...so stock motors are fine. I ran a Nova in my 5T....and had a RB in one of my older Savys....great motors but not really worth it for me....question answered?

see your having great luck with your Savy, but i think once you stepped up to a powerful mill like the STS 30 you'd start seeing the Savage break a hell of alot more..... The Savage's drivetrain is pretty weak and prone to damage, as well the big motors do propel the truck alot faster and the crashes become more severe...
So I am basing my experince off running 3 high powered savies and 3 High powered Truggies... And the Savages are total money pits, which is why all my buddies mainly drive the Truggies.....Remeber you were the one initialy saying the Truggies couldn't bash well... and i am strongly disagreeing based off alot of experience with these vehicles... IMO a pro level Truggy is the best bashing machine avaialble....; Maybe a stock motor savy is reliable, bu once the HP goes up the reliability takes a big nose dive really fast.
