Well, I just bought a Savage X roller and I'm working on finishing out ordering the parts to convert it to an XL and completing it. I've noticed a couple of things:
1. The entire front end and the entire rear end of this truck is IDENTICAL. That means that you will need less spares because of the redundancy in parts.
2. The stock Savage X parts on eBay are CHEAP!! I saw one guy who was selling all 4 suspension assemblies for $20 new.
You can CERTAINLY spend ALOT of money upgrading these trucks to all aluminum for example, but in stock configuration this should be a CHEAP truck to maintain.
By the way, there is NO way to bump start a Savage. The engine is in the middle of the chassis sitting on a motor plate.
And the Savage is considered a 1/8 scale while the T-MAXX is a 1/10.
