RE: New to RC Trucks
the motors are measured by like c.i. i think? seems like they would because the savage has a .25 and the cc on that motor is 4.41 cc. so i am guessing c.i.'s these trucks are alot different from dirtbike 2-cycles since i own two 40cc motor scooters which is kinda the same. these trucks have extremely high rpms to what you may think if you dont know already. my motor is around 40,000 rpm. and they vary from like 30,000 rpm to about 50,000 rpm for a onroad engine. the savage does cost more than 300 though.[&o] you can get them for as cheap as 360 or so for a brand new ready to run (RTR) savage 25. the kits cost about 320 but they do not include radio equipment which would then bring the cost over the cost for the savage 25 RTR. the savage can get to about 42 mph and can climb almost anything reasonable from its height. they are also heavy compared to other trucks like the T-maxx. but their weight is in thicker parts which make it the most durable monster truck on the market.
