Hi im 15 and already have two rc's an onroad tamiya and an rc10gt. i have a slight problem. I Can handle both my cars pretty good and and my rc10gt in air also. A couple of days ago I had posted a post on getting a new buggy in which I was go get, but scatch that. im not getting a buggy no more( but thanks for all those who helped though.) but I think im ready to get a new truck. and this summer i was going to get a savage 25. I told my dad, my grandme and my brother what i was going to do. My dad told me that i should waite till i got better and had started racing other people...my granda and brother said it was a good idea.I wanted the savage for a couple things.. one i have the money for it, 2nd that was going to be my reward for my self for finally fininshing this rough freshman year. and third not to race to to bash. But im confused what should I do... should i get it or not. I think im ready ive ony been in this hobby for a little more than 6months now and is pretty good but dont know what i should do. Get it or not. Can someone please Help Me.

well it would round out your colection. an on-road, a stadium truck and a monster truck. and from what i hear the savage is a good basher. but if you think about racing its going to take alot to get it race worthy.

For bashing the Savage will be great. Another you might consider (slightly more money) is the Losi LST2. Also tough and can be raced with less changing. Better radio with LST2.

Hi there.. just saw the post, thought I'd chime in.
The Savage X is a modifed savage that is built to make it easier to work on. It's just a little better then a normal savage, but much easier to get to the parts when fixing it.
Trucks are fun, but with fun comes a little extra expense. From my experience, trucks break easier and more often. So make sure you will have a little extra $ for parts. I'd hate for you to spend all your money on the truck, break it the first day and be stuck without it till you have to save more $.
