the savage is great fun unless you opted for the twin engined version,
nitro engines are quite tempremental. to get 2 of the fuckers running good is a very difficult task

savages are great cars but dont go for the 4.6 tempermental as fuck


i went through all sorts, i found best alrounder was the inbetweens, my fav of all the cars i had was the shumacher menace 21, not the 3 speed car version the off road one fook me serious fun it ate everything it touched

got rid of my savage for this


29cc 2 stroke so less hassle but won't take anything close to the abuse a nitro will take
