Hi i have heard a few people saying that the stock diffs on the savage will strip or something like that??Is that true??
And will the dog bones bend on 10 foot jumps,and what will break first???

The diffs on my X were a problem, until I changed to alloy cups. If you get the X SS ones it will be fine. The dog bones should be OK, I've only broken 2 in a year, and 1 was because I forgot to put the washers in the cups. The other time I landed on a wheel, and the force snapped it.

Going over 10 foot jumps what will break first,anything??

Depends how you land it, many people on here jump their sav's bigger/further than 10 foot with no damage at all. However when you land "awkwardly" thats when things break. I have landed on the nose of the truck and bent the tvps and snapped the front tranny dog bone. Land on the side of a tyre and you can break a steering block or carrier or bend the tie rods, land upside down and you can snap the mounting wings from the engine.
The possibilities are endless.... The sav is not indestructible but it is a lot tougher than most.

I heard the X tvps break near the motor mounts and that the X ss tvps are more durable

Do the upgrade parts that come with [link=http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=24377&View= BiggerPicture]this[/link] sort our the diff problems?
