Savage transport
Hey guys im 14 and I got my Savage a few days ago. But im having troubles carrying it to my local bash spots. I could drive it up but thats a waste of fuel and my dad cant drive me anywhere because he is working.
What do you guys think is a good way i could transport my Savage.
Thanks,
Damian

RE: Savage transport
Get a bike, and put one of those girly-baskets on the front handle bars, load your Savage and gear in, and hit the town!

RE: Savage transport
I just thought of something:
Are you too young to get a liscense to ride a motorcycle in Australia? If not, why not save up and buy yourself a used motorcycle and rig up like a rear seat mounted basket to tote your Savage and RC gear in?
I am pretty sure you can look and find a used motorcycle somewhere in Australia for like $500 AUD, which really is less than a brand new Savage XL!

RE: Savage transport

it seems they have discontinued the one that fits the X and now have this one
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFJT3&P=7

RE: Savage transport
We had a member that was hauling his around in his back in a bicycle. He even hauled a camera and posted some great videos. Seems like he had a harness and let the tires ride down his back and carried everything else in a back pack. I have seen them being pulled in wagons. One of those little kid trailers behind a bicycle would work great too. I have been thinking about a three wheeled bicycle, the old folks style with the basket behind the rider. I am getting kind of old myself... Glen

RE: Savage transport

RE: Savage transport
No chance of fitting my Savage in any of my backpacks even with the wheels removed... I just don't go anywhere myself with the truck, mostly cause there aren't any great spots here. Usually my bro drives me, but I get my license at the end of April so its not a problem anymore.
I dunno, if you don't mind looking funny towing a little cart behind your bike with your gear in it then I guess thats the best option without using a motor vehicle. Of course you can take the cool way and buy one of those expensive carrying cases. The best I've seen so far is a guy use an old suitcase, seemed perfect[8D]

I already have a motocross bike that i ride on a track (Honda CR85), but it is illegal for someone under 16 to ride a motorbike on the streets.[:@]

the suitcase sounds like a good idea also check out wingtote, they have some good bags from what i've heard

RE: Savage transport
I would stick to the sidewalks but that is illegal aswell, if the cops catch me or someone rings the cops then it probably $600 fine. The laws a crazy in Australia, no fireworks, bb guns, powerful lazers!![:@]

Maybe I can figure out a way to harness two of these white sheoherds of mine and have them drag a cart with RC junk and myself in it to the park.... it would be my luck Bud would see a rabbit or squirrel and my ride would get exciting.

LOL!
Speaking of kids bringing in their RCs on kidie wagons, why not rig up a Savage to pull the wagon? Now that would be fun! A ridable RC!

Cant you lie?
J/K, dont do that. I am digging Bud's dag pulled rig really, Dogs are rather efficient and actually cheaper on fuel costs to tote yourself and your Savage to the bashing spot!

I cant imagine my dog trying to pull my savage, because my dog is a toy poodle and she weighs 2.5 kg, thats less than a Savage.

RE: Savage transport
I work at a bike shop part time to pay for my non R/C hobby...This would work perfect for you. It sits over the rear tire you can put gear on either side and set the truck on top of the center support...Check a local bike shop or ebay as well.

RE: Savage transport
Some cargo straps and a Savage would be secured good on that basket; plus you can carry like 2gal of nitro as well!
Just dont get rear ended with all that fuel in the basket!

RE: Savage transport
Hit up a yard or garage sale and look for a old kid's wagon..you know, the red Radio Flyer type or similar. They are dirt cheap and are great "transporters' for your truck and gear. I use my daughter's Big Red Wagon to haul my truck to bashing sites that are within walking distance of my house. Works great.
