E-savage Build

[honda237]

That is sweet. Where are the videos? How much money do you have in to the truck?

 

[flm_savage]

i left my camera at work so no videos until next week. I didn't spend quite this much but i figured that assuming you can get a spektrum dx 3.0 for $200 and a hyperion charger for $150, it would cost you $1,751.00 plus shipping to build a replica.

Thats a nice looking rig you got there, I like the new a arms, reminds me alot of my loooonnnngggg term E Maxx build with probly close to the same kind of money tied up in her, and I still have a couple of things left to do before I will be happy and can call it complete.

 

[flm_savage]

thanks, everyone that drives it says its one of the best. I am very pleased with it

 

[phx123]

Yeah looks pretty good . I'm thinking I should have gone that route instead of buying a slash .

i like it alot but i would never get a ESavage. i just dont like them. i would prefer an EMAXX
but if this was priced wright i would take it.

all that aside its a damn cool truck man.

 

[flm_savage]

why wouldn't you get one? Powerful, insane handling ( i have trouble rolling it), and tough as nails.

 

[Nitro RC Basher]

i dont know yet. right now I'm hooked on getting the slayer or even the slash. and I've never driven an esavage so theres still a possibility.

 

[flm_savage]

the e-slayer wing??

the slash looks pretty cool but its still a 2wd stadium truck.

 

[Nitro RC Basher]

no traxxas's new nitro stadium truck. its the same size as the slash, just with a revo-liek chassis and a 3.3 engine.

Love your e-savage dude! Wish I had that kind of money to put into a build.

 

[flm_savage]

thanks man. Its gotta be my favorite truck of all time.

 

[flm_savage]

gonna bring this one back.

smoked out the novak setup a month or so ago so they had to refurb it for me.
I got a set of premounted phatline's on blast rims and the truck is INSANE. GCM skid plates are on order as well.

I will try to get a video and some good pictures tommorow.

Overall if i had to pick one rc from all i have owned, this would be the one i wanted.

 

[flm_savage]

updated with pics. this is how she stands now. And yes i am using socks to house my lipo's and ty wraps to secure them to the frame. Those will be gone once my battery trays get here. Good ol cell phone pictures for now. One day i will find my camera

Sweet! I bashed mine in the rain today hope its ok

 

[flm_savage]

you are in trouble if its the Novak HV setup. I love the power it gives but it is quite delicate when it comes to moisture.

 

[h8z2luze]

no its all stock.
