RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

Yeah I though Leopard motors were good. I emailed the auctioneer for the package and he said the ESCis a Hobbywing SC8. These appear to be pretty popular. How does it stack up against the MMP? Thx

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

Hello again,
I've see this auction on ebay off&on for the last few months. Seems like a pretty good deal ESC+Leopard motor for $115-$155. Can anyone tell me if this is a good deal vs a MMP combo?...

RE: any idea when the new gas savage xl is released.
