Which would you choose?

[Predat0r]

I like both of these trucks and I'm not real sure which one to pick, which one is going to be the better truck?

Choice #1:

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/rvs/1864734947.html

Savage X, boulder holder body, nice rims/tires, spectrum rx/tx (will be sold bc i have a dx3s) and other "unknown" mods.
Price: $325 Shipped

Choice #2

http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=658865

Savage XL, 3 bodies, stock servos, stock tires/rims, Axial black chrome beadlocks with skull rock rings, 4 servos (least being 126oz, and 2 are brand new), some other odds and ends.
Price: $310 Shipped



I think i know which is the "BETTER" deal, but which would you guys choose and why?

I can't get the RCU page to load, so I can't tell.

 

[Predat0r]

hmm loads fine for me, just go to rcu and search savage xl, its the savage with the blue jeep body and 2 others.

 

[alien13]

I would replace the 5.9 in the XL, other than that, it seems like it's the better buy.

 

[Predat0r]

Any reason why the xl over the x? (sorry just trying to get some opinions )

 

[alien13]

Lower center of gravity, more stable. The X is a great truck, I have one and love it, but it would be nice to have the extended chassis to help keep the front end on the ground a little easier. You can get the X, and upgrade the TVPs, but with the XL it's already done.

I'll disagree with Alien on one bit of information.
The X and the XL have a similar low center of gravity - and - both have a lower center of gravity than a .21, .25, or SS Savage.

The XL will be a bit more stable though in that it comes with wheel extender hubs - so it's got a wider stance to go along with the extra length.

As a rule of thumb, your can have two objects with the exact same height, but different lengths. The longer of the two will have a lower cog.

alien13 did i tell you that i bought a very good clean nitro rc buggy?

Interesting Alien - I would have never guessed that the additional length would have lowered the cog. Ya learn something new every day!
