There may be plenty of other models on the market and I have to admit that the Savage is great, but, there is no substitute for the little FF. One thing I did learn since owning the Savage is that I prefer the 1:10 scale to 1:8. If the stadium truck class takes off here, I will be leaving the Savage home and racing the CEN all the time. If I were to buy a different brand now, I would probably go for a Mugen MST-1 or something similar. I think stadium trucks are definitely my thing, sadly I seem to be the only one!!
On the ebay front, I just got a battery box off jcleave but he seems to be running a little short on stock at the moment, I haven't seen a rolling chassis from him for a while!
