I just put my brand new XB8 on Ebay, I want a basher so I have decided on going back to the good old Savage. I thought I would have time to race this year but there will be no way. Unless anyone can talk me out of it, I will be back into the full time basher arena.

i made that mistake once, and ended going back to buggies. my new delima is that my track demands way too much maintenance for buggies, so i purchased a revo. i plan to drop in that RB mill in it, and hope it is fast and nimble. i may be on the verge of a $700 nightmare.

why not just bash with your buggy?
you don't have to buy or sell anything then

I can't bring myself to bash in a $1k+ racing machine. When I bash I bash hardcore, the Savvy I know can take it, plus I've had one before.

I've got nothing to say to you...splitter!!!!

Hell, I do and to be honest I'm glad I do, all those cheaper buggies require so many hop-ups to get the strength required for bashing that normally it's cheaper to buy a Pro buggy that's desighned and built to live through the harshed conditions, namely the race situation. This is quite possibly the harshed situation a buggy can suffer, constant changing of direction, instant acceleration and braking, fast big jumps pounding the suspension constantly and then theres the drivetrain, hell racing is the hardest thing that a buggy is ever put through. So a top end racing buggy will and does make the perfect basher.
