ok so i got a savage ss that I built, and it seems like everytime i drive it, oops forgot loctite there or o crap i need a new spur or part of the truck falls off cuz the screw comes loose or something breaks. I am NOT a do it yourselfer and i think im gonna sell it as is with radio n stuff and get a pre built revo. Im just doing backyard stuff,small jumps and bumps. Do you think its durable enough?

yea i think a revo could work good on small jumps.

ok so how much do you think i could get for my used and dirty savage with servos and radio w/ few missing screws?

hmm not sure can you send me some pictures of it? and i can take a look at it and give you a price check.

It does not mater what you get if you cannot work on it you will have to pay some one to or learn. If you read this form you will see the Revo is not a bashing truck and is more suited for racing. If you are having that much problems with the Savage just wait till you get the Revo. Keep us posted.

Hey i see what you mean. I have an rtr but I still have to work on it more than I actually get to drive it. I just dont like when that happens

i love my REVO and i drive it everyday and ive jumped it about 10 to 15 feet high several times still havent broke anything its a great basher i dont know where you guys get that its not a basher and it is great on the track too

The R/C cars and trucks we have are by their very nature finicky pieces of machinery. No matter what car or truck you have, it's gonna need maintainence. If you plan to stick with the hobby and don't learn how to maintain it yourself, you'll be making trips at least 2 or 3 times a week to the LHS to pay them to do the work. That'll take money you could be buying upgraded parts or even another truck with, AT $10-$20/Hr for labor that'll add up fast. Please do yourself a favor and learn how to repair and maintain your truck. You'll save not only a lot of money but many headaches when you get all set to run and something decides to give out on you not even 2 minutes into your first tank that would take 5 minutes to fix instead of packing everything up and calling it a day bevause you have to go to the LHS and wait on someone to fix it for you.

It's really not that hard once you start doing it, and I doubt you'll find someone here that's been running these things more than a few months that hasn't had a screw or a nut fall off at some point. I lost my whole slipper clutch off my Stampede once because a mod I did wasn't quite right and the nut wasn't on far enough. It happens to the best of us; just part of the hobby and all you can do is pick up the pieces and double check it next time.

I finally fixed some of the problems on my car but the one thing that is keepin me from drivin it is.....

uhh ok lets keep it simple. If you had an rtr rc truck, and all you did with it was drive around in circles in your backyard for at most 1-2 hours a day, 3 days a week, how much maintenience would you estimate be needed?

when i first started nitro cars i was at full throttle all the time so no wonder stuff broke but i think that was great because i learnt so much about my truck and how it works. it also helps you figure how far you can push your truck without breaking stuff
