about 3 years ago i bought a savage 25 RTR and run it a few times but stock got boring real fast so i started throwing money at it, i now have 4.6 shocks, 120,000 wt diff oil, 35 wt shock oil, T-Maxx 2.5 wheels and tires, alum upper and lower a-arms, savage x tranny and radio box, just bought alum shock towers, alum steering blocks and c-hubs, dual disk brake, sts .28 engine, heavy duty dogbones (chrome), alum bulkhead side plates, just the steering blocks and c-hubs and the brake cost me 200.00 CDN.

I got just about enough parts to build another one. I might of started out with the 2nd lowest RC car on the food chain but i dont regret buying and spending the money on it. when i bought mine i didn't know a thing about these things, i was asking a friend of mine how to do take this apart or put it back together, but now since i've pulled mine apart so many times its almost second nature to me now. and if i don't know how to do something i will try to work through it 1 screw at a time. and once i build this other one im gonna sell it and buy a 4.6 or something. but my vote is for savage i've seen/heard of people absolutely beating the piss out of these things without too many problems.
