Hey peeps. i maybe getting another savage from a trusted seller this time.. but i don't know since he hasn't given me any prices... He's asked me to make him an offer so heres the descriptions and pix..i will also need to pay shipping.

1-First up is a savage X roller, fully CVD'd up and bullet proof diffs, HPI 23mm Nubz tyres, 3 speed gearbox, some new parts and some used but in great condition.
Was my old racing savage so hasn't been used for a while and been in storage, Can include a used K4.6 engine and tsais pipe to make it a runner though.

2-Second is a project build i did that was going to be a new basher but just hasn't been used at all, been out probably 5 times from new.

FLM extended chassis plates, 3 speed gearbox, Moab tyres on cheyenne wheel 23mm hex, custyom rollcage (had to extend it to fit the plates) and STS .30 with matching STS pipe.
Note - The engine had done a gallon when the filter fell off and it sucked in dirt so it now has a new piston and liner fitted so will require the break in doing again.


and finally
3-Finally the truckzilla, they are the only photo's i have of it without me taking more. Its on the left in both shots.
truckzilla conversion chassis plates and wheels/tyres, 3 speed gearbox again, and again practically new as you can see, the tyres have some wear but the truck itself is spanking.

Prices are in USD, since it's easier for me....

1.) Looks decent, I'd say about middle of the road average. I'd hazard a guess at around $200 USD, provided it is in RTR form.

2.) Again, looks decent; I'd ditch the cage. If it's truck only, around $170, since it is like new. In RTR format, I'd go up to about $225 or so.

3.) This one is essentially an XL... I'd hazard a guess at around $300USD.

Again, these are strictly guesses based on the first post and the pictures. Without physically seeing them in person, it's hard to gauge them properly.

And since they're merely guesses, you might want to stress to him that these prices are merely shots in the dark, and to not be offended, and if he feels that they're too low, to counter-offer.
 
thanx Heartbreak $200 is about £100 here..
i emailed him back and asked him to give me some prices but he replied saying that he hasn't got a clue,they cost him alot but he knows he wont get all the money back.. i'll offer him £100 then and see what he says... thanx again.
 
I hope you're able to pick it up for a decent price. Aside from my engine being a little on the weak side (F4.1) for my tastes, I love my Savage. It's a mutt, but it gets the job done. When the F4.1 finally goes to the parts drawer in the sky, I'm slappin a K5.9 in.
 
Are you going to try to buy all three? Happy bargaining! :)

P.S. The Cheyennes/Moabs are a nice combo and I like the Bug shell :thumbup:

nooo not buying all 3 just maybe one so hubby n me has one each.. but not sure yet... i don't understand half the stuff his savages has on them lol


Well i offered him £100($200) and his reply was this.. QUOTE ''Afraid not no, they are practically brand new still and each have quite a bit spent on aftermarket parts.''

so he won't tell me how much he wants and he won't accept £100.. think i'm gonna pass.. i always wanted a revo anyway. :)
