u trade savage for x-factor and worry whether it can be more stable at high speed

u should keep yer savage for that usage....here we use x-factor only for rock crawling due to its articulation & solid axle.

just my 5 cents & my reliable savage. no harm done. cheers mate.

right...i would get the x-factor too if my yard got big rock.anyway...u can try stiffen the shock and use the sway bar for off rock run. its quite scary with its powerful engine. make sure u run it straight ...it has the highest CG compares to other truck.

good luck & have fun, mate.
