Savage owners have no need to fear the new Revo. Even though the Revo is a good car, the Savage can still hold it's own - especially considering that everyone here 'tinkers' with and improves their examples.
i know what you mean horatio. i still got my maxx, and the revo cant do squat! maybe thats because i run on an onroad track, and i get to practice everyday after school for 3 hours.
just because the future awaits us does not mean the past cannot contend.
i'm real proud of that quote

hey guys, just flickin thru the thread, im about to get a savage ss kit, thanks for the heads up on the engine cleaning before start up, hopefully will prevent future problems. I've ordered the mp servo mod for the throttle with the kit and also the 3racing alloy steering set up and alloy servo horn, sounds like a worthwhile mod. Do you guys reckon trinity 25% monster power would be ok in the .25 engine or too feisty for run in? Thats about the only good quality fuel available here (oz). Where can i get some shock sox from? looks like a good idea to save on cleaning time. Sorry for all the questions, any help would be greatly appreciated, keep up the good work guys, excellent thread!!!

I bet u like the pullstart eh
anyway...im a beginner too in this off-road thing(still driving my serpent 710 NovaMax P5
).don't worry to ask anything here. they have a lot of experience and they get u out of trouble & nervousness just by staying online here. Thanks to Horatio and mac.
Make sure u read the manual twice, espcially the small engine manual. the life of the engine depend majorly on how u run-in yer engine. keep a temperature gauge handy. just make sure temp didn't go over 300F(148 Celcius).
all the best. and happy racing & bashing. im still looking for the elusive champion trophy 4 my Savage 25 RTR. next week will be the test.

Put it this way, even if HPI brought out an amazing all conquering Savage 2 tomorrow - I'd still make time to race my Savage alongside my newer truck! That's because my Savage holds a special place in my 'RC heart'
3 hours of practice per day!!! There's no substitute for skill and if you practice hard like that, all your skills and techniques will be very finely honed indeed.
I race most weeks, but only 'practice' maybe once a week
due to other commitments.

thanks horatio. good luck on the race JFC! i know that your savage will hold up. i'm going to the mountains this weekend for Labor Day, i hope my maxx can handle the terrain! well, if it breaks i can always use my mini-t to bash around on the gravel driveway.
thanks for the recognition JFC. this might shock you, but i am only 14, yes, 14. i can't and the guys at my track can't believe that i know so much.
and jfc, how long is the race, just normal or endurance like horatio's? good luck!

Does the increased steering mod work ok when you use dog bones and do the track rod ends bump up against the shocks after you've done this mod?

Well done, you make us proud to own the best Monster
Truck out there.
The increased steering mod is leaps and bounds a huge performance gain over stock. The shock ends end up being
the only stops. If you trim it out far enough and get it turn to that point you we have a noticable gain in your turning radius.
If you have endpoint adjustment on your Radio you could set the stop points.
Welcome all newcomers to the thread.
This is definitely a great place to ask and share all your
Savage and R/C knowledge. Great group of people on here.

Now, im really pressured
thanks for the encouragement and yes Mac..i know u 14. i think becoz of previously u own a savage thats why u grow up so much and matured
anyway...age doesn't matter. as long as u know about truck, good enough.
its normal race with AMB lap counting sytem. i wish the organizer will do the endurance...but at our place...if its a big event, we usually run EP, GP & Big foot event at one go...so time is tight.
i 4 one join GP 1/10 race & Big foot. very busy.

I find that relaxing, staying calm really helps my racing. I'm also alot harder on myself than anyone else if I perform badly. If for some reason things don't go according to plan, try and figure out how things can be improved for the next race.
I like to look forward too. Much as I'll miss racing off road over the winter, I'm actually looking forward to hitting the track with my RS SD!
Despite what some top level racers might say, I believe that doing both on and offroad racing actually helps improve racing craft and discipline.
I think the most important thing, regardless of level, is to promote and enjoy the sport.
