yes but your not reading my post i have owned savages

yes the savage will always be cheaper but i still think you blowing the price of of proportion alot.

if you bust two front shocks to fix two using hpi parts would be $23.00 usd

if you where to bust two rear shock to replace them with hpi parts $30 usd

im not sure where you got $ $80 usd for one shock, and if i was to bust a stock shock i would not replace it with a stock shock unless i had a realy good run out of it or unless i could afford other wise

but if you where to spend $65 on the 2 shocks you would have to worry about replacing them for a long time, this is what im talking about.

if you damaged one or more shocks on your km or hpi baja you would be silly to buy a pair of stock shocks for $80 usd !!!

you would only buy replacemnt shafts $16 usd

or is you lost the plastic shock parts and couldnt find them $15

and like i said three times befor yes more expence then the savage but cheaper then your 80 usd

the diff are not cheap, the key is to0 look after them, and if you cant look after them like me you spend $100 usd on just a diff case and rebuild them using new parts it works out to 150 usd but its cheaper then replacing a couple of diffs over time.

and for all you people winging that they are some dam expencive and oh the cost to much i cant afford to run it ouch as shock cost 80 usd.

all i can say to that is like any one befor you buy some thing you check of replacement parts and the average cost on itmes you would normaly replace on other rc cars you have and you check will people who, have run them and own them, befor you rush out and buy them or you will be sitting aroud on your computer, saying but they are so much more expencive and they cost to much im now longer can afford to drive it.

in m opion 5 lters of 30% nitro cost me $50 aud, for 5 ltres of 98 octain unleaded for my baja cost me $6 aud, in 12 months or regluar bashing my baja has payed for its self with nitro.

now im not going to argue over parts cost and price, i has showed you cheap parts and parts need to replace the shocks you mentioned.

i will not help people who will not help them selfs and this is getting a bit sleepish as i said all this befor, head kits shocks and upgrade parts, in other post.
