savage shock oil...

savage shock oil...

I use 40wt in the rear and 35wt in the front. Some use 30/35.

Think the stock is in the 10-20 range.

which is better? HPI MT, or Ass. GT?

I'd have to agree w/ grampi on this one... I know the HPI MT is pretty low to the ground (not so much of a MT as a 4x4 ST, really), but my savage handles very well for a MT and it can't come close to...

Yeah, big joes are the popular choice on the savage right now in a lot of circles... they're the same height (roughly) as the stock tires but wider by about an inch.

They are a little too 'bling...

vwtrey = rc car action

I haven't read the letter but I find it hilarious that trey's so surprised by this. So it's about rtr vs. kits? I'm going to wager there was additional cheyenne influence (rantings) at play here ;)

Savage Air Flow

If you're using a pickup body you probably don't need to (some variance depending on ambient temp and how many fins stick up above the body in the back.

Anyone out there got one of these rigs? They're advertised as 70+ out of the box (w/ a 3-speed tranny), but practical experience would be nice. I've started thinkin about adding an ST to the garage...

Where did the Assoc MGT Go?

Well I can't assume they're stalling design/manufacture to wait and see how their competitor products hold up... if that's built into their design schedule, they are fatally flawed.
