im getting the savage.... i keep breaking the rear, and only rear, shock towers and suspention arms. i have thicker oil, 50wt., and go for huge, 6-9ft jumps. thats why.
I have been hearing more and more about the weak shock tower and A arms not only on this form but others. I thought with the Revo Traxxas had improved but it looks like the same old thing. I am sure I will hear about my opinion but the proof is in the pudding. I know the Savage is not the fast thing out there but it is the most durable basher on the market. I do not run off road because I am looking for top speed. Once again this is my opinion.
I would think 50WT oil is quite heavy. In all my trucks including the Savage, Rush and MT1 racer I run 30WT.
