At least you had a go and you did produce something quite unique looking. I did originally think the length of the chassis would take any agility away from the savage. Thats why i feel the DB-17 is just about as long as you should go. keep us posted and dont give up on the savage just yet! you have spent a lot of money on the bulks and towers etc.. .so give it one more go with the chassis and use the lipo boxes to find a nice balance!

I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

I guess after seeing that list of cars on your signature I'm not surprised you don't like the handling. I also had a baja but sold it cause it was big, heavy and just not zippy (not to mention noisy, but that was part of it). I agree that if you ran higher voltage you might reconsider but then I reckon maintenance will be more of an issue so might as well do a baja conversion (just thinking of that resent vid). I still don't want to own a savage but this build and Finsters 1/6 had certainly peaked my interest in them.

I can't believe a company can produce and ship those cams for less than $10. May not be the original manufacturer but omg they're still making profit
