You know you have to build it right?

From the videos i've seen, the 4.6 hauls ass

Good Choice. The Savage is a beast and probably the best basher out there.

I bought a Hitek 645 steering servo. I could have got a better radio but...

Blown5.0 · (#5 (**permalink**))

Make sure to get a hump pack for it as well. Access to the radio box is a bit of a challenge, however HPI just came out with a radio box cover that is flexable which should help.

Oh good tip! They say the air filter that comes with it is as good as a Motor Saver.

The air filter with the Savage 4.6 is a very good filter.

I should have had the starter box delivered faster. I'm going to be sitting on the porch waiting for UPS to come tomorrow.

you wont be disapointed!!!!

and theres not that much assembeling to do on it the frunt and rear ends arr just about competly assembled.

RCDad · (#10 (**permalink**))

From what others have told me the clutch seems to be the toughest thing to assemble.

thenewguy821 · (#11 (**permalink**))

If the clutch is the toughest thing to assemble, then you should have no problems. Clutches can be a pain to put together, but if you take your time, they go together fairly easily... Just make sure to watch the direction you install the first shoe, If you are looking at the clutch head on, the engine turns counter-clockwise. install the shoes so the trailing edge makes engagement...

Thanks! I told the guys in the Savage forum I'll pick up another case of beer before I get started

Nice choice on that 4.6 Savage!

Isn't that an unassembled "kit" though?

don't get me wrong, I would rather build my own truck.

TowShen · (#14 (**permalink**))

its is a kit but for some reason they preassembal the frunt and rear ends....every thing els is up to you. (i know i walked my manager through the assembally), and with the trans the set screw for the shift, turn it in all the way and then back out 3 1/2 turns and you should be good. also the slipper for the spur gear tighten it all the way the 1/2 turn out the instruction its says will melt the pad to the spur.

and again NICE CHOICE....and half fun with the weelies!

It's interesting that they don't sell an RTR version. This thing should kick butt though with that .28 engine.

Michowski · (#16 (**permalink**))

they do its a savage 25. Comes already built and ready to go. All you need to do is get a 3 speed trans and .28 motor and you got a 4.6 savy
