is this worth it?

[bigdiesel06]

I'm looking at a slighlty used 4.6 savage this is the kit one not the rtr, so it has a few more goodies, also has airtronics sport radio, 2 bodies, 1 new painted, 1 used painted. a new hpi performance pipe, 8 new integy piggyback reservior shocks, rpm upper and lower suspension arms, the roto start and battery, set of 4 savage rims and tires (like new). 1 set of goliath rims and tires(new), rechargeable glow ignitor, savage x tvp, and a piranha quick charger does this all sound like worth $350?

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Definitely. I would've gone for it once I say it for the first time. It comes with a lot of things for 350, includeing a charger and a glow plug, and don't forget all those hop-ups.

OMG I'm Jealous!! If the truck is clean and in good condition, it's a great deal!! Wow you're going to have a really nice truck. Normally, you would buy a truck and then spend a few hundred to get it to that point, now you have it at that point and you can spend the money on even more insane stuff. It sounds like whoever built the truck did things right. Those RPM A-Arms are in my opinion the best out there. I know people talk bad about integy because of their customer service but I have the MSR-4 piggyback shocks on my T-Maxx and I love them!! They handle so good with the RPM arms. Man I hate it that I didn't come across a deal like that when I bought my truck.

Well one thing I've learned is that things often happen for a reason. I was upset because I got ready to buy a 21tm engine on ebay that was modded by ABMods and it got bought out from under me and I was mad, then a few days later I did the research I should have done in the long run and learned that it was not the right engine, and it basically would have been a waste of money. I hate you missed it, but personally I always like a new vehicle because who knows what the previous owner might have done with it.

i agree, I'm kinda considering the savage kit now, since it has nicer parts than the rtr, u have that right? is it been pretty easy to build or a pain? what all is needed for the kit? all your help is greatly appreciated

I highly reccomend buying the kit. I've only been into RC's for a few months, and I haven't had any trouble with it so far. I have to credit where it's due, HPI did an surprisingly good job with this kit. The instructions are VERY easy to read, and the parts for each step are in a differernt bag so there's no guess work as far as figuring out what screw to use and that kind of stuff. The quality is superb, a lot of the screws on my T-Maxx are already rounded out, and I haven't stripped one on this Savage.

If you buy the kit, you will need to buy the radio equipment, which is the transmitter and receiver, and the servos. It has a pull start, so if you want you can add the Roto-Start fairly cheap. I bought the radio equipment from Rolex for $25 , and I got some pretty good servos both for $50. You will also need fuel and a glow-plug igniter, but you'll need that with any RC.

The kit has a lof of upgrades such as many steel gears instead of plastic, it's got a bigger carb, I think it has better wheels and tires, steel spur gear, stuff like that.

I can't say it enough, I would recommend this kit to someone just getting into RC, and if I remember correctly you have been into electrics before. I can't think of a better way for you to learn about a nitro vehicle. I bought the radio gear from someone that had bought a RTR version of the Savage and used upgraded radio gear, so I got all the electronics except the servo brand new for $25. I think when all is said and done I will have about 12 hours in the entire build.

I bought mine from Debbies RC using Ebay. I paid $360 I believe and they had free shipping, but it might have been $369, something like that. I used Debbies RC because they are an established company with a big presense in the RC world, and my truck came super fast and it was the best deal I could find. Everything still had the HPI factory seal in place so I knew it hadn't been tampered with.

I hope this helps in your decision.
