no, my x ss doesn't handle as well as my 2011 x, the big bores make a big difference.

The only thing it has that is an upgrade is the metal spur. Its just a hopped up version of the old style x rtr. you will be very happy with the 2011 savage x

got my savage couple weeks ago.. been looking for the best site for info most traffic but seems like rcnitrotalk is a lil low traffic and savage central is ok so i figured id try here.. got my savage and got to run about half a gallon through it. i love this thing.. for a savy i cant complain, with all the savy probs ive had this one seems to have them beat.. Ive hit a ree by accident head on, hit a land marker that sticks out of the grass about a foot smack right on the right a arm at wide open throttle, and lost control at full throttle and rolled it causing it to do about 50 cart wheels lol.. still have yet to break a single part.. You savy guys that have sworn up and down that the savy is better then the losi xxl were completely right.. i apologize for trying to argue the statement in my last losi xxl threads few months back lol.. what a great basher this is.. id like to see some other good bashing vids as well.. if someone has any good ones please add them in.. i have a few vids.. nothing special as im still trying to be easy on it.. but this is what i have

I finaly got my parts for the 2011 savage x build. It went together so smooth. No problems what so ever. I was going to shim the diffs but the diffs were already perfectly shimmed. I got the bullet proof sintered diffs and there is a huge difference from the previous diffs on the older model. Here are some pics.


The big diffrence


The finished product




I do have another list of parts i will be ordering but for now this will do. I plan to get a set of hoi aluminum big bores, xl wide axle kit with the big dog bones, and when this motor craps on me i plan to get an lrp 30 spec 2. Im sure il add more as this build progresses. Thanks for looking!!!
