Horrible, horrible truck.....I dont know why anyone would even think to run one of them.

There's no support for them, not even a dedicated thread.....just terrible.

Worst truck ever made. They should have stopped with the .21 model. It especially sucks with the XL conversion.

And absolutely no aftermarket support or mods.

A savage, be it nitro or electric is one of the best trucks there is. All these responses were meant as a joke and were sarcastic. Go buy a savage and experience it for yourself.

Yeh, I love my flux to death. Ive owned many nitro and electric MT's, and the flux is my favorite. I think the only reason I'd get rid of it, was if someone offered me a 5b/5t for it.

Haha they are tough ass trucks and the only thing I did with my savage is new skid plates and rpm everything I could and you could convert her to XL length

The greatest posts ever. The Savage is a Legend Kyosho Joe. In RC you will have so many opinions but one thing people can agree on is that the Savage is not a lemon. Practically limitless options for it and You can beat that thing until it loves you. The Savage is so reliable that I admittingly abuse and neglect it, and like a good dog it always comes back and licks my hand. I almost feel guilty how I treat it sometimes. Give whoever gave it to you a hug, they either really researched the purchase or got extremely lucky.

i jsut bought a savage flux HP i put the HPI savage flux XL conversion kit on it and put a 20mm hex conversion too i run mine on 4s and its runs awsome the guys at HPI have been super great and sent me lots of parts for free....new diffs,gears,pinions things of this nature and it runs great wheelies even with 7"x4.75" wheels.

unless you're not a rough basher, I would not recommend the hpi tvps to stay on the truck. Mine bend by the motor, I'm on my 2nd set in 2 months of owning the truck. I purchased TCS 5mm XL tvp's to hopefully get rid of my problem.
