i just bought mine at the hobby shop yesterday for $350. it was a great deal i couldnt pass up, plus i wanted it anyways. ive been working my way around the car today learning what itll be like. the suspension design is great. even with the modular design i found it a little hard to set gear mesh, access radio, etc. but it expected that anyways, ill get better at working on it. the engine is very tight brand new so i put some after run oil in it because im not sure when ill be able to break it in. if you want professional info, just wait for the rcu review. it should come out this month.

does the Warhead work with savage parts? (chassis, bulkheads, shocks, shock towers, a arms, braces...) cause if it doesn't dont but it! Sure it is great that it has a larger fuel tank, standard reverse, larger engine, aluminum shocks, and all that but no one makes parts for the warhead they make parts for the savage and if savage parts dont fit then you have a truck you cant get parts for.

i know the tires are interchangable but the side chassis plates are spread farther apart (so the fueltank is inside) so my guess would be no.

You need to adjust the linkages so that the brakes aren't applied at neutral. Shouldn't be too hard, perhaps there is a thumbscrew on the linkage that would let you do it.
