wich is a better? and is it realy that hard to assemble them? I'm new at this so what would u sugesst i get?
 
it depends do u want to put a savage together or do you not
I've also heard from a friend the .25 is better than the ss
 
I think a kit is the way to go, if you take the time to put it together right, you will know exactly how everything goes together and will make future wrenching much simpler. I am planning on adding a Savage SS to my rc garage in the near future. The things that are included on the .25 are things I am not interested in anyway.

Here are a few questions only you can answer.

Do you want to build it or just take it out of the box, add fuel and break it in?

Do you want the roto start or pull start?

Do you want a aluminum tuned pipe, or a composite pipe?

Do you want hd upgraded dog bones, or stock?

Do you want a prepainted body, or do you want to paint your own?

These are basically the difference between the SS and the RTR 25, answer these questions and you will know which truck to get.
 
What i think is they are both good trucks the savage ss was my first kit and it was easy. The thing that sort of makes the 25 better is the fuel tank and 3 shoe cluth. What makes the savage ss so great is you can add your own radio.
 
Can you follow directions? Have you ever built a model anything before? If the answer is yes to either of these, then it will be relatively easy to assemble. If the answer is no, then you may want to get the RTR version.

I would also add that a healthy dose of patience is required when building an RC. You do not want to rush or cut corners to get to the end faster. Doing so could be bad for the RC and your wallet. If you lack patience, the RTR version is a must...and even then a lot of patience will be needed (the break in of the engine is not a short evolution...).
