savage ss vs savage 25
I know that there is probly a forum like this but I dident want to take the time to find it and it may not be the same question.
How much better is the ss than the 25. I was thinking about getting one of the two. It would be nice to have a kit but also nice to have a rtr. So how much better is the kit as far as the parts that are includid go.

RE: savage ss vs savage 25
The kit fixes MANY issues that the RTR has.
1. The RTR has weak diffs, the SS has the strong 4-gear diffs, and this will save you a huge headache in the future itself....
2. The SS comes with a much bigger, stronger engine, and we ALL want that.
3. The new SS comes with stronger wheels, the RTR has the old style that like to strip.
4. The SS comes with much better tires than the RTR.
5. The new SS comes with the new tuned pipe that is really sweet, the RTR comes with a crappy plastic thing that needs to be thrown away.
6. The SS comes with an improved steering assembly that increases the turning radius and response.
7. The SS includes a dual-disk brake whereas the RTR has a single disc.
There are a few other minor issues that are different as well. The diffs and the transmission come built with the SS, so it isn't like building a full kit. Follw the instructions and you will be amazed at how easy it can be.
I would NOT buy a RTR 25, they will be discontinued in the near future. Besides, a .25 is nice but the .28 is nicer.
