savage 25

[flandersander]

So is the savage 25 a 2.5cc smallblock or a .25ci bigblock? Because I am buying one with an axial .28 and want to know if I will have driveline problems.

 

[Cupooterluvr]

.25ci bb.

 

[flandersander]

So with the axial .28 I shouldn't have any driveline probs?

 

[Cupooterluvr]

Nope. The Savage is built like a tank; it's not like the plastic T-Maxx components.

 

[flandersander]

yeah those kinda suck. No offense tmaxx luvers but I really got fed up with mine. Thanks cupooterluvr.

I have both and the savage is far stronger truck than one would think. I also have spent more money keeping the t-maxx running. I call the t-maxx my slut for a reason.

So speaking of your tmaxx, is there any tread left on the tires at all or is it like throwing a hotdog down a hallway? OR is it because it keeps saying yes even though it has a headache or is broken?

Well I don't know whether you were referring to me or him but the power of my Picco .26 wears the treads pretty fast. I recently rotated the rear tires to the front.

So far, the plastic gears haven't had a problem; not even a protest. The only issue I had as far as drivetrain was that I twisted the rear center driveshaft, but that was due for replacement with metal anyways.

It gets me f#$% every time I ran it hard!! Then it cost more Money to get it going to do it again. thus a slut!

 

[flandersander]

haha yeah. Thats a good reason.
