Hey guys this is my Savage X before it got beat up. The truck take all kinds of abuse and keeps on going! It has an O.S. 30 VG P Sr in it with lots of power Integy Aluminum upper and lower suspension arms Integy Aluminum castors, Hot Bodies Aluminum Shock set, Venom Racing on board temp/failsafe, Proline Dodge Ram body HPI Dirst Bonz S compound tires and HPI Black Chrome rims. The motor has enough power to rip them right off did it three times already! Also chewed a light weight steel Idler and drive gear set. The truck has balls! I control it with a Futaba 9C Super set on the 75 MHZ band since I don't like Pistol Grips I fing them weird and uncomfortable. Also the 9c has room to build and store new models later on in the future I'm hoping to build a Hell Fire some time soon and some boats as well! Hope you guys like th pics!

Sorry I haven't been on for so long I sort of forgot my pass waord but I managed to get a new one. Yeah the Truck now has an RB Product TM928 in it and a Tsais Tuned pipe for the Savage The O.s Died. I upgraded the steering servo and Put some Proline 40's on it and it handles great but still has that famous Savage top heavyness. I Managed to bend over the top cooling fin on the new RB the first day out and I wasn't to impressed let me tell you! To replace it is like 70 bucks! Well That's what is new me and my truck haven't had it at all this year. I'm going into the Military so I've been preparing for that!

Well First off I live in Ontario Canada So for What I spent on upgrades here in Canada it would be about $3000.00 CND. The RB engines aren't cheap but you get your money's worth I feel for what they are and also parts availabilty for them is actually pretty good. The engine runs for about $ 4-500.00 depending on what you're looking for? I bought mine from AMain hobbie's for about $400.00 and I bought the pipe from there to. They're a great place to look if you're considering that kind of power. RB Also has a TM 728 just for the Savage but I decided to go for the TM 928 and the nice thing is most of the parts for the 2 Engines are interchanable like heads and glow plugs they're pretty much the same engine with a few minor differences. You can look them up at www.rbproducts.com if you're interested or go to www.amainhobbies.com. I hope this will help you out? Also my radio isn't a pistol grip I opted for a Futaba 9C on 75mhz since I run boats as well and and that was about $500.00CND. I find Pistols to be sort of unnatural feeling but that's just user preference I think? Thank You for Showing an Interest in my truck I love RC vehicals of any type,shape, or size! KEEP THE SPORT ALIVE!
