Yeah, considering there are two others just like it, just the questions are a little different. And all three of these are going straing into that same strom squall

I think it's a stupid, pointless, BS argument.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THE SAVAGE RULES ALL.
teehee.
It's just too bad that RenegadeRevo saw my Savage on the slowest day of its life, with the Moabs and whatnot. That was the only run on those tires EVER, and the only time my Savage ever went home completely disabled[:@]

I actually haven't run my Revo in a while... been so busy... and the last time I ran it... I blew through a spur in about 2 minutes... time to get a new chassis and motor mount brace.

Off topic here but Renegade you have a 2.5 right? they didn't have chassis braces so if your going to get one then dont fuss with the crappy traxxas one, get the M2C Racing brace. I was having issues flexing the engine bay with the stock brace and my modded 3.3 untill I got the M2C brace. Its almost two times as thick as the chassis [8D]

Yeah, the 2.5 chassis has been pretty good for me... other than a wavy engine mounting tab.... I was going to get the Traxxas chassis brace... but maybe I'll look into that one. I was considering doing a conversion to a 3.3 chassis, but I like the stance and look of my Revo.... short and squatty.

I'll throw in my vote for a Savage as a basher any day of the week. I have a modded Savage & a stock Revo (except for RPM arms). The parts that I've replaced on my Savage were due to wearing them out. Drive cups, drive shafts, wheels, & spur gears won't last forever on anything. I still have the original A arms from a .21 that I bought when it was the only Savage. I upgraded to aluminum after a couple years just for the looks. The upgrades are fairly common... new engine even though the .21 will still wheelie, high torque servo, throttle mod, skid plates, & an ultra simple roll cage to protect the head. Heck, I'm still running what's left of the original body! lol

I broke an a arm on my Revo as I aborted a jump. My Revo bounced weird right before my ramp so I slammed the brakes & got about 2 feet off the ground. It went down on it's passenger side front wheel the broke both driver side arms on the rebound! I bought some RPM arms & keep it low to the ground now. It's not too hard keeping it off my ramp since I spend most of my time trying to tune thr 2.5R pos that came in it.
Here's a good pic of my Revo.

EDIT: There was a second bar on the roll cage but I broke it. That was my fault, not HPI's. I have enough aluminum rod left over to make another one but I've been to lazy to do it.
