Default E-savage

i am thinking of getting an E-savage is it worth getting? i have a savage ss 4.6 and a savage .21 they are fun to drive but my LHS is 3 hours away and i don't go down that way very much so i have to use my gas wisely i want an e-savage so i can drive a truck when ever i want. do you think i should get one?

Yes.

I had an E-zilla, and liked it. I sold it though because I found electric lacked the thrill of nitro. Given your sitch though, go for it. There are no questions about quality, speed or toughness, so go for it.

Thats b/c u didnt go brushless. My e-savage runs around 48 to 50mph. The esavage is a great truck it runs around 26 to 27 mph stock and comes as a complete rtr. Its very durable so you wont have to go to the lhs much. The only issue is that there is no aftermarket parts[&o]

Also it is smaller than your savage too its a 1/10 instead of a 1/8. I am putting a wheel with more off set and I am going to try to streach the chassis about a inch or two.
