What do I need to know if I buy a Savage 25?

Wizz Kid

sloppy steering servo, bad radio, and pipe.

I wouldn't say it's a bad radio, no worse than the t-maxx radio.... It could be better though. To avoid these said problems... get the SS and you'll pick the radio and servos yourself.

If you do the math, its cheaper to buy the 25 then hop it up rather then buy a SS.

Wizz Kid

actually not... because the ss kit comes with some more important goodies like pipe and HD doggs. so if your get a 100 radio for it you have free hop ups basically.

Well forget it, its the 25. Is there anything I need to know about it other then the radio isn't great and the servos arn't good?

Wizz Kid

i cant really think of much more. just the greatness of savvies!

Get extra screws and threadlock thats the worst problem i had the first week(my fault for not threadlocking) and always glue your tires and make the your foams inside the tire are dry when driving on asphalt my trucks tires ballooned up when there was water in it and i crashed top speed into a curb and bent my chassis but i bent it back.

also do the 4 spider gear diff mod to avoid problems

I wouldn't do the diff mod till the diff goes, i have had 1 gallon through my truck this year and the diff is still like new.

neil.jb

thats a stupid thing to say, you may as well do the mod from the start and save yourself the cost of having to buy an extra set of diff cups and also 2 extra sets of gears

I have an SS but I would upgrade the linkages and servo savers if I could right now...it all just looks weak.

ive just bought a savage 25, is it too cold to run the engine in properly?(i know this is off topic bot i didnt want to start another just for 1 question)

neil.jb

you should get a temp gun so you can check your engines temp, you need to run it around 200f during run in

Wizz Kid

when it gets colder the oxygen gets purer. so the air:fuel mixture must be right so if you have extra air, you need extra fuel. in other words, richen in the cold, not lean.

purer. ----whasss upp?

Wizz Kid

well i shouldnt really say "purer" just when its cold the air gets compressed together meaning you have more oxygen in a given space.
like this [ox.ox.] but when it gets hot and humid the air expands having more space for it to spread. like this [ox.------ox.].
i hope this can explain it.

you have all of these guys telling you whats wrong with the truck. In my opinion the truck is excelente strictly stock. True the upgrade listed are worth the money but stock the truck is great. Dont replace thing unless they break.

Just my opinion

desertbuzz

I agree with stevblutu15 .

The stock savage is absolutely great and you'll have loads of fun... Not that I don't have a list of mods to do... but you'll define that along the way.

Wizz Kid

if i said it was bad then i meant it the ss had a few extra hop ups. i'd say the ONLY thing that buggs me is the pipe. THATS IT. i wont say any more.. but seriously i could list only 2 hop ups and i'd be happy.
