Default Hey Savage owners

I have been looking for something different lately. When I was younger, I had a Clod Buster. Bought it when they first came out. (Yea, I'm that old). Full ESP, made a Lambo body fit on it, lot of fun. Since then, I got into planes and helis. Earlier this week, someone brought a nitro car into work. He wrecked it, and wanted me to look at it. I got it working, and this thing was a blast. Street Force GP, with a Hot Bodies .18 engine. After playing with his toy, I got the itch. But I don't like cars. So, I went to the LHS to see what he had, and he was getting ready to fire up this new truck. It was the .25 Savage. Well, I'm in love, and I'm buying one friday.

My question is, will the upgrades from the .21 fit the .25? Suspension is my main concern, as I am an idiot and will beat this thing without mercy until my wallet is dry.

Yea, it is the same truck. The .25 is the best one to get.

Yea, he had a few other trucks to choose from, but they seemed geared more toward racing than stomping. To quote one of my favorite songs from early MTV:
"I like big things, the size of them impresses me. Just give me plenty, who cares about the quality."
Although in this caes, the quality seems right on. Friday can't come soon enough.

What kind of track in St.Charles? There are 3 of us buying a Savage, and this hobby is always more fun when you share.

good choice but make sure u get one with an red x on the bottom they have had backplate's come off during break in and if they dont have any in u can just take the motor off and put thread lock on the screws. but good luck trying to break the savage ive yet to break anything and i tear the u know what out of it.
