Default no experience with savages, please help

hello there guys

well, one of my friends is very ineterested in buying a savage, he wants to buy the new 4.6 rtr.
i know that this question is probably a very common and stupid question but i have no experiences with savages, which are the parts that break most often??? its a little hard for us to get hop ups so what we want to do is to order the savage with all the things that break the most, if its possible i would like to now which are the parts that are weak in the new x models.

he has also seen some integy shocks, what i have seen from lst experience is that integy is crap and that those shocks are worthless, are they really worthless or do you recommend them?

thanks in advance

chris

he can stock on spur gears & heavy duty dogbones if it didnt came with one.but other than that i think everything is good..just replace as he breaks which i think will take a while..

this is a true statement. savages are tough. i ran 3 gallons in less than 2 weeks with zero problems (except when i forgot to check my engine mount and it messed up my spur gears twice, which cost $4 to replace)

the new 4.6rtr Savage X is pretty much updated and upgraded, i highly recommend it and its the toughest RTR you can find! i just wish they release it 3 mos ago before i brought my X.
