Well, I just ordered mine. The place I got it from says they will have them in stock tomorrow (Jan 31st) You can buy it as a kit for around $50 or completely built for about $80. I don't know if I am allowed to say where I ordered it from or not, so I won't, but if you want to know I'm me. Oh yeah, and they ship it priority for like $5 bucks.
 
Sounds cool. The only place I've seen that sells them so far is Bruce at RushRC. He is a great guy, I'm trading in my savage for a new Savage SS 4.6 kit! :D

Damn, that would be great if you got one early. Because HPI has pushed them back until March 2005. They aren't going to release them on the 31 like they originally intended.

Anyway, let us know what you think when you get yours. I already have my truck apart and am waiting for some new gears. :smoke:
 
Damn, it sucks when companies do this. It pisses me off when they say they are going to release something, then they keep pushing it back. Oh well, they haven't pushed back the 4.6 kits have they????
 
Yeah, it does suck. I'm pretty sure the new SS Kits have begun to be shipped. But I don't know for sure. RushRC would know best, he has been on top of them lately. I'm sure he will give us an update.
 
Who wants to write a review when they get the 3 speed?
 
Is anyone geting the kit version? i am thinking of geting it to save money but i have never put a gearbox together before is it hard to put one together or not.

Crap, my savage has been in pieces for 2 months waiting for that 3-Speed. They must be having problems with it.

I am tired of waiting. I am just going to put the old tranny in and get that thing put back together before I start loosing parts.
 
I just talked to Bruce, he said the trucks shipped last friday, and he should have them on this friday!! I can't wait for mine, no info on the 3-Speed though sorry...:shrug:

I ordered the kit not to save money but to be able to put it together and have a feel for how it works, makes it easier to diagnose and fix any future problem, I've taken the 2 speed apart a few times and really its a breeze, and knowing HPI I'm sure they will include some detailed instruction on putting the 3 speed together.

I'll do one as soon as they come in and Bruce ships me mine. According to RushRCs website they are supposed to arrive Feb 15.
