Title: For When I am not Riding Post by: Qdawg76 on January 21, 2006, 08:41:19 PM Just Got this Baby. I have been into RC Cars and Trucks before but they were all electric, So I figured that this baby Might be fun. It is a Savage 25. Hope it Runs as good as it looks and I cannot believe the Wheel Travel.

Title: Re: For When I am not Riding Post by: Bigscrb15 on January 21, 2006, 10:24:07 PM your right about the suspension travel. 1 tire can be on top of a pepsi can and the rest will be touching the ground. They are tons of fun!

How long will they run for? What sort of maintenance is needed? Etc.

How long will they run for? What sort of maintenance is needed? Etc. Not to sure Kinda new to the nitro powered RC's. This thing is sweet thoughTitle: Re: For When I am not Riding Post by: Moose on January 22, 2006, 06:04:05 PM Have fun, they are great. Be care full, they can become addictive, I have spent over $600 in extras, and that's nothing. I suggest upgrade it now, will be a lot cheaper. I blew both diff's and the tranny came apart inside. Get the 4 gear diff upgrade asap.
I love mine, it just takes it's toll when you play hard. Like racing, you will go through parts, period. Title: Re: For When I am not Riding Post by: Southern4x4 on January 22, 2006, 06:11:33 PM well i have two rcs.They run on that nitro fuel it cost like 23$ a gallon
Title: Re: For When I am not Riding Post by: Moose on January 22, 2006, 06:16:22 PM I saved a lot of money looking around when I needed something, ebay and tower hobbies are two good places to start. I have bought from both places and then some.

Etc. They are high maintence. You are constantly tuning and replacing little parts. Its all part of the experience though. They are a blast!! flsportsman, I would listen to moose and get the 4diff upgrade. I also went with the 3speed tranny upgrade but haven't run it yet so can't tell you the difference. Also a metal spur gear would be good too. the stock plastic spur gears strip pretty easy.

Yikes sounds like mucho money. I thought it was something fun with little work. Well i guess i wont get one since you spend a lot of money on it from the sounds of it.

Well i guess i wont get one since you spend a lot of money on it from the sounds of it. if you don't run it hard it might have less maintence. I run mine hard and I also spent an extra $1000+ in aftermarket parts. i guess they can be as cheap or as expensive as you want them to be.

Title: Re: For When I am not Riding Post by: 2006YFZ450 on January 23, 2006, 05:54:15 AM Well I have a MEgatech Trucj and they always break down. You'll be going through parts like crazy :Wacko.gif
Title: Re: For When I am not Riding Post by: Crashking on January 23, 2006, 02:16:51 PM yeah no matter what you will be putting a lot of money into these things... it truly sucks
even if you do run it around a house... parts will break.... you will run into things.... they are really fun... when they aren't broke :) i've got about 3-4k total into the 2 that i have... :( i kinda wish i hadn't done that cause i could of had a nice 4-wheeler instead.... right now both of mine have been sitting for about a year and a half... don't wanna mess with them but i don't wanna sell them and lose my money either... i'll get back into it one day... Title: Re: For When I am not Riding Post by: 2006YFZ450 on January 24, 2006, 05:52:28 PM If you decide to sell Your Savage25 drop me a PM ;)
