The guy on here that gave it to me hated it so much he was about to throw it in the trash so I talked him in to sending it to me instead. So I can't personally tell you. I was on a hiatus from the hobby during the octane days.
Not sure why there would be haters. The Savage is one of the out of the box toughest kits of all time. I dont think I know anyone who doesn't like the Savage :)
