Hi JohnSampson,
All of my favorites are mostly on YouTube.
http://m.youtube.com/results?q=Savage XL unboxing
Just type into the Search function there, what you want to see...
Ah, within reason, or any search engine will take you to other discussion Forum's and even to several threads here as well.
Please have fun...
Chas

What bad things have you heard about it?

ALL Good with Savage X
I haven't heard many complaint's of the Savage X, of any consequence to me.
Other than checking every screw after unboxing, and then Locktite/Thread Lock Blue, any main screws, not connected to the actual motor block.
Just break it in correctly, and then
Enjoy... & Repeat over...
Not aware of any XL complaints.

just that the servos are weak and working on it is a pain getting to stuff.but i think they where talking bout the 4.6 not the 5.9 but i don't own 1 and have never worked on 1 so i don't know 1st hand just what i've read.was all so looking at the 4.6 truggy but alot of the reviews i've looked at said that hpi engines are not that good.once again i don't really know but would like too before i go spend the $ for 1 all mt rc's are traxxas.

Hi EXTREME1,
How's it going? d--b
I replied to your request when I figured out how.
I've found my Savage X stock servos to be adequate so far. (Not an XL though)
If/when they go, I'll simply swap them out. Not sure what brand or size yet.
I'm sure there will be several great suggestions here, when that time comes.
As far as working on my Savage X, it's definitely Not difficult. Everything is laid out nicely, and the engine can be easily removed, simply with unscrewing 4 screws from below the engine mount. I think it's a great car/truck with plenty of pleasant tinkering for those who wish to tune and upgrade. A plus with the ease of part replacement, it also makes a Bashers repair, a delight as well.
Minus the cost of thee very accessible replacement parts.

Tools and parts
Hi EXTREME1,
I'd save the money you would spend on an XL and buy a couple of spare shells to paint and customize with decals/stickers, for the new Savage X instead.

The two biggest complaints I've heard about the XL is the engine is hard to tune and doesn't hold a tune very well and the stock steering servos are weak. I own an X myself though so I'm only repeating what I've heard a lot of others say.

As far as I know I've read of people putting the LRP.32 in their X's. I know it will hold an OS .30VG.

I've owned both the X and the XL. I sold my X not long after I got my XL. Not because it was a bad truck. I just prefer the XL because of the longer wheelbase and wider stance. Also the 3 speed transmission and factory aluminum clutch shoes. The 5.9 engine is hit and miss. Some have good luck with it some don't. The servos are crappy. Both of them went out within a month. As it sits right now mine has the LRP .32 and a Savox 1256 TG servo for steering and a Traxxas 2056 WP servo for throttle and brakes. I absolutely love this truck and do not regret getting it and selling the X. Both trucks are great fun and super tough. But for me the XL with the longer wheelbase and wider stance and 3 speed is what I prefer.

You can try Stormer Hobbies, amain hobbies, and Tower hobbies. one of those will probably have a good deal on it.
