1 rear dog bone, rear center dive shaft, steering servo, stripped 2 rims, broken crankshaft screw (all on a gallon of fuel and no major bashing)
 
only broke antenna on a foward rollover over a spped bump hope thats all i break for a while
 
well today i rolled it over another speed bump and broke the head fin. well i guess it can't look new for ever
 
Cracked the edge of one Velocity Six rim when my Savage went WOT into the curb at an angle...but so far nothing else.
 
One question for you guys who are bending shocks...how the hell are you doing that? What are you doing to bend them?

Just want to know...cause I beat my T-Maxx up pretty badly and never bent a shaft, and so far haven't harmed a single shaft or shock.
 
to bend a shock its simple go relly fast dont pay attention then slam the front tire directly into a big log. and that should bend them pretty good it did for me at least
oh and dont forget to blow out your cap seals before the crash
 
I guess that would do it. So operator error causes bent shocks. Guess I'll have to take care not to do that. Thanks for the answer to my question.
 
Bought my Savage 25 in November and only 1.5 gallons run through her. So far 1 upright, 1 upper control arm, 1 A arm, cracked a rim, bent a dogbone, bent the shaft that connects the a arm to the upright, my one way bearing is on it's way out. Oh and the turnbuckle....and that was all in 1 spectacular crash.
 
gotta love bringin back old threads I don't ahve a savage yet to break but I just broke one of those ball stud things that connects to the turnbuckles on my MT when it ran into the curb really fast
 
Blatant necrophillia .. back from the dead

BTW
Today I broke a right front Dog bone on the Savage 2nd gear full out in the air landed on the right front tire. It just couldn't handle the inertia I guess too much spin to stop all at once.
Cost..$0.00 allready payed for, broke the left rear about 6 months ago..
 
I thought the savage didnt break as much as the T-maxx. Dag mine doesn't even break this much but i probably dont bash mine as hard as yall do. I am working to get money to get me a Savage 25. I now have the origional T-maxx and i have had nothing but problems ever since i got it.
 
Had my savage for a year until I got the new 4.6.

I broke 2 Dogbones
1 suspension arm
1 Upright
a few gas tanks...lol
 
If you are looking for boxed stock durability, the Savage is it. I also own a maxx(had a few), I' agree Maxx was nothing but problem after problem. Gear mesh, spur gears broken diffs stripped motor mounts bent hinge pins broken axles grrr the maxx was a lot of money and work.

The savage man is just pure play it took me 5 minutes to put the dog bone in. Iget soo much more run time per hours of work than I ever did with th my maxx.

The savage dogbone I broke today was due to plain abuse, about 6 feet vertical, and landed at WOT with the tires ballooned. I've never broken the savage unless I was VERY abusive.

My maxx sits on a shelf, it's something for my kids to work on LMAO
 
2 one way bearings, one spur gear, one stripped stock wheel, and a slightly bent stock shock shaft.

bearings my fault, poorly tuned engine, spur gear was rock crawling, punched the throttle with the truck stuck in a crevice, shock shaft was from landing a 5 foot jump on one wheel..., wheel stripping was from not tightening the wheel nut. all user error. savage is just plain sturdy.
 
I have ran my Maxx 3 times and broke the following lol

1. Both front passenger side A-Arms
2.Turnbuckle
3.Bulkhead
4.2 brand new dynamite shocks
5.stripped out spur gear
6.destroyed steering servo
7.Body mount
8.cracked steering block
9.have a small crack in chassis
10.bent cooling head.
