Looking for a Big Block truck?

[Sgt Blamo]

I own two Revo's and love them, but I want a Big Block truck too(I'll probably put a BB in my Revo soon, then nothing will keep up).
I drove my friends Savage today and loved the power and couldn't believe how well it handled being so tall. I like the LST, but too many horror stories to want to shell out that kind of money.
Any thing to look out for when looking at a used one? Are there a lot of hop up parts that are worth while?

Yes, get a savage. Check in the For Sale/Trade forum and whats there. Theres almost always someone selling savage. There are TONS of hop ups available.

I bought a Savvy like a month ago now, I have run almost a half gallon of fuel through it, and this thing takes a beating like no other, a friend of mine just bought a Revo, and althou it's fast it donesn't seem as rigid or stong in the chassis. The Revo is good for offroad racing, but the savage is great for bashing on almost ANY surface. The Savage reminds me of the steel tonka truck's I used to play with when I was like 4....that was 20 years ago. They took the worst beating of any toy! You cannot go wrong with a Savage
