RE: savage .25
edit* i think im goign to find a savage SS .25 kit and swap over the servos from the evader (yes i do have a MG HIGH tq servo for the evader its over kill) and use the savage and retire the evader for a little bit untill i got my track all ready so i think that will be way better for me and i like to build things so i probly could have the SS up in 2 days or if i started in the morning easly by that afternoon cause i rebuild my evader all the time and its like an hour at most

RE: savage .25
yea im thinking of geting the RTR one in a few days its just the SS was a consideration i got a mg high tq servo in my evader (130oz tq) so i thought i would swap that into the RTR and swap the stock one out into the evader so it sets a little more balance and the savage needs the more power. and i would like to beable to take it out of the box and have it more in the right shape than the kit. i could do the kit its just it be more to beable to use both trucks.

Well I live in Germany, and here they advertise the Savage 25 RTR Spec 2 Version - which basically means that all Savages from 2005 on have the bigger air filter, 4-spyder diffs, AND the cam-style servo-saver.. %95 sure about that..

RE: savage .25
All of the later Savage 25 trucks have the cam type servo saver and upgraded diffs already installed, that includes the 4.6SS and the Limited Edition.
With the SS kits you have to buy all of the electronics seperately, so keep that in mind. Ultimate Hobbies still had some of the RTR Limited Editions for $419 not too long ago. It's basically a Savage 25 with $130+ worth of upgrades already installed.

RE: savage .25
if you want to drive an hour and not have to wait or pay for shipping you can get it from a place in portland called hometown hobbies and a-main raceway. i picked mine up from there 2 months ago for 440. i prefer to buy locally so i can actually see and feel what im getting and so that i have some local support with problems, not to mention the whole not having to wait a week thing.
