Thanks Rolex and Lessen for your feel back.
I looked at the prices for the Revo 3.3 and it's almost $700 bucks for a RTR package...that's kinda way to steep out of my price range. The T Maxx 3.3 is around $420 bucks as a RTR package.
I know and am aware that I will need to but other " start up" items as nitro fuel, extra glow plugs, etc. I had a street car and needed to do the same.
How does the HPI Savage compare or stand up to against any Traxxas nitro monster truck? I'm gonna try find a website to get some more details and compare, but would like to hear from owners or previous owners as to the pros and cons of what they had. That be cool to get that perspective
I hate to sound like a pest, but how does the HPI Savage stand up to jumping, wheelies, off road conditions, on road conditions, is there a lot of after market and replacement parts easy to find and obtain, and does it come with an EZ start feature or sort like Traxxas? On my street car, I went through about 17 pull cords before I got so frustrated and installed the tiger drive which wasn't the greatest, but at least I didn't have to replace a pull cord after one pull (no matter how gently I pulled). I saw video on youtube with someone using the EZ starter and was stunned to see how quick the truck started and was good to go!
700 bucks where are you looking? You could drive a new revo today for 600 bucks if you looked around. That's a gallon of fuel, sales tax, batteries. I would definetely forget about that creek too. You'll kill it driving through water. As for strength I would say revo and savage are about equal.
Hey guys,
I just had a thought after doing much internet searching and watching videos, and a thought came across my mind. Would a nitro buggy meet the criteria I set forth in my initial post...with all the off roading, jumping, occasional street use, or should I stick to getting a MT. I've fallen in love with the HPI Savage x 4.6 but with the RTR combo and the other basic start up things I need...I'm looking at $500+ the cheapest...and that's through tower hobbies. So is a buggy an option, or should I still aim for a MT?
As always, I appreciate everyone's thoughts and feedback
Get an MT for sure. Try RC planet or Ebay, tower is usually high. And the x4.6 is a great choice.
