Has anyone seen the new E-Savage? I got a new issue of RC Driver and there was an ad on a page that said E-Savage. Originally i thought it was a thought, or like someone that made an E-Savage Conversion kit like GorillaMaxx did the E-Revo kit but i guess not. It seems like its gonna be same style 2 motor 14.4 volts as the E-Maxx but hopefully with the structure of a Savage, so it will be bashable.

Check that out!
Oh dear god...The other 9-10 versions of the savage werent good enough, so they need a copy with a brushless motor..
Lemme guess whats coming:
E-savage (this version)
E-savage with an upgraded brushless motor
E-savage with original motor and new diffs
E-savage with upgrade motor and new diffs
E-savage with new tires and body
E-savage with new tires, body, diff, but stock motor
E-savage with new tires, body, upgrade motor but original diffs
E-savage with new ties, body, upgrade motor, and upgrade diffs
E-savage SS-No motor, no tires, unpainted body, stock diffs
E-savage SS2- No motor, unglued tired, no body, upgrade diffs
And so on and so forth...And you know its all coming..You cant deny it
Looks cool with the truck body, not the bug body.
bikerman youre totally right, then you gotta remember the E-Savage with the 3 speed...somehow. i just hope they did it right the first time. and didnt just throw it out there like losi did with the MLST.
Oh, I forgot one
E-savage Same as the original only with blue esc wires instead of red wires
Quote:I AM REVO2K!
that is just rediculous, please downsize that
That bug body looks killer to me!
I saw they had one at Al's lastnight
Its the same as the Hot Bodies E-Zilla. Only difference is the various bodies you can get. The only Savage compatable parts are the wheels. But who knows, I have never seen one drive, it might be fun.
Oh yeah, its a 1/10 scale truck, like the E-maxx, not 1/8th like the Savage
Anyone tried one of these E-savages yet?
Dont forget the E Savage x, ssx,
I don't think they are all that great. No aftermarket support for one thing.

FWIW none of the vehicles I race have any after market parts on them. I have 1/8th, 1/10th gas and electric, 1/12ths.
What good are after market parts for a Savage...electric or nitro?
Well, I don't know actually. It is more a reflection of part availability, options, and aftermarket support. I think the aftermarket sees the E-Savage as a short lived vehicle. I have not notices much interest in it and so I would be hesitant to purchase one if it seems likely to be discontinued. I had an HPI RS4 MT. It was a great truck, but it was discontinued, I could not find replacement parts for it and had to get rid of it.
As fas as the nitro Savage, it will not be discontinued anytime soon and there is a flood of parts support. But the E-savage does not share any parts with the nitro.
