So Ijust picked up a Savage XSS kit and wanted to give a quick review and tips before you spend money. The first thing Iwill say is
READTHECOMPLETEMANUAL IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST KIT. The kit is very straight forward. The diffs come already built and in the bulk head, such a time saver. Pick up your own shock fluid, the stock fluid is a little on the heavy side(personal pref) and the shocks are NOTpre built. Use a good quality stearing servo, Icant stress this enough. You will need a high tourqe servo for the throttle and brake, and make sure you put the throttle linkage on right. Everyone has there own look on a proper engine break in prossess but if you dont there is one in the included engine manual. Other than that break it in tune it and drive it like you stool it! Its an awesome truck.
