savage meets ford ranger
saturday was the first day I really ran the savage hard .I have now ran 12 tanks of fuel thru it,and It is now just starting to really run strong. I did have a close call though.I was running the savage around the yard,when I thought it would be cute to drive it around the garage and come out the other way.Which it would be out of site for a couple of seconds.Little did I know that my friend had moved his ford ranger there.I got have way around then I heard a crash. (getting sick just thinking about it) I could here it running but it would not respond. I ran around the garage
to find it wedged up under the front of his truck.It took me a little while to get it out,because the front wheels got locked up over the drag link of his truck some how.And the pittman arm was jammed in the front of my savage.It was not looking good but I did get it out.I got lucky,It ripped the truck body right off the keeper pins,broke one front shock and that was it!!!!!!!....I hit that truck at least doing 3/4 throttle or better...Drove it the rest of the day with 3 shocks on the front and my truck body flappin in the breeze..............tuff truck!!!!!!!! savage rules

yea thats still pretty fast....... lets see...... hmm.... I dont have the right kinda of calculator to figure this out and I have to go but that would be like geting in a voltswagon rabbit doing somewhere around 130-180 and running into REAL monstertruck.
Thats the scall size anyways Please tell us the real figure if you can but mine will just give you an idea.

It is nothing to do with poor driving skills beleive me..If you aint breakin nothing, then you just plain are not driving your m/t very hard..plain and simple....savage rules
So your telling me you have never let your truck get out of site
for a couple of seconds?....If you say no you are probaly not telling the truth.....Thats a fact

I just find it hard to believe that you NEVER let your truck out of site.When you are playing in a big area something has to get between you and your truck once in a while. The hill you just launched off of or going around things.We run are trucks in a spot in the local strip mines that we have cleared off.But I dont think I go 5 minuets with out loosing site of my truck.Now I do slow down when this happends.Where do run your truck? on a flat level surface?I dont think it would be any fun at all with out a little challenge...what kind of truck do you have anyway? It really dont matter I was just wandering,they are all fun.And its just like real vehicels,everyone has there preference..ford,dodge,chevy,ect,ect......

I take care of my truck,but I dont ***** foot it around neither.It is just amazing what they will do.I would have seen him if he would have pulled up a couple of seconds sooner or later cause I was just standing there right before he pulled up.But any way I am going to hang up the body of the torn up savage up on my wall of shame in the garage. live and learn.....lol
And it probaly wont be the last one I destroy...

these boards are for everybody, children and old alike, You should be mature enough at least not to use those words.. At least refrain from them for now on.. they offend alot of people even if you dont think so. Thanks

Not that i want to get involved in any kind of flame war...just not me, but one thing i have noticed from all the posts on this forum is that Casey seems to have a real problem with the Savage. Honestly, ppl can't post a msg about how good they find the Savage without him putting in some kind of comment. In fact, if i'm not mistaken, he doesn't seem to respect anyone who doesn't own his truck, or hold his views.
So, I guess he'll quote my msg up and have some kind of reply about whatever i have to say isn't important or is meaningless :P .
BTW, still love the savage, although after running more tanks thru my maxx, it's closin in fast on the savage .

you obviously dont read all my posts And I never said I had a real problemw ith the savage, Just like anybody else I am siding with what I prefer and find to be better in my personal opinion. Your obvious ploy to try and get me to flame you is silly though Like I've said, RC Nitro proved everything I have said.
