Savage SS MP 1000 BL.....I think the BL might mean Brushless.You can do a google sear for it and it gives the pic I have posted too.

It is just like these secret new car projects that no one is supposed to have seen, but also get leak to the press. So exciting!

May be I should paint my new truck body WHITE, so people would start to think this is yet another secret project. Just joking!

Now with a CEN Racing ATX also of course.

The Brushless Savage has already been done, I think it was on Savage Central a while back. Its a nice novelty but he couldnt get the gearing right, It was quick up to its top speed of 15mph.

I saw a link to the web space that pic came from and it seems its a fake. With the body off it seems there is no trans or motor in the truck, its a piece of cardboard taped over the chassis. th battery packs look pretty bogus as well.

Here is the link..........

Beliver in what? Its a home made electric Savage. Are you going to give it a try?

Thats the video I was taking about, its not exactly a burner.

No, thats not the same truck. The one in the beginning of this thread is a fake. There is no transmission, motor and the battery packs look like they are made from cardboard. The vid is a guy from over at Savage Central, and its a real electric Savage. It takes off pretty good but looks as if it has no top speed
