How tough is a Savage?

[Serum]

Yeah!

Savages rock in terms of durability..

-6 spider diffs
-camshaft servo saver
-tough as nails gearbox
-stock shocks that are tough
-steel dogbones (don't look for heavy duty, since they are nothing better than the normal black ones)

Wise upgrades;

C8019 hotbodies diffcup, or get the new HPI aluminum diffcups with steel inserts (first is 10 bucks a set, seccond is 20 bucks a set) goot thing about the HB diffs is that they use 8X16 bearings instead of the rather weak 10X16 bearing for the HPI cup)

i found the FLM hybrids too heavy, use the GPM aluminum diffhousings (50 bucks per 2 for the normal savage, the X will be more expensive and heavier)

When planning on using the stock gearbox;

If you get the X-SS, it uses a steel spur. Best thing to use is the X plastic spur/slipper.

there are several threads in this savage forum, but for some dumb reason there is a timestamp on them.. Check all the posts from the beginning..
