New Savage! - rocco79 - 01-19-2006
Gabe did you see the new easy access diffs?? Or the new chassis or the lighter arems or the slipper that will actully work???????????
One of the biggest problems for me is how hard it is for me to get to my diffs... This solves almost all my problems

I guess having better diff access is good.
New Savage! - Michowski - 01-19-2006
looks teh same to me also. I see a few redeigned parts that look different but overall the truck looks exactly like the other 7 versions that are out.
New Savage! - Mr. Tune - 01-19-2006
Looks the same? Remember folks, it's a redesign, it's supposed to look the same as before even though it's not. Otherwise it would be a different truck.
The shock towers, bulkheads are completely diferent. It's no longer attach in left/right pieces like before. This allows for easy diff access. Some needed for a long time in a savage. You all remember how much work it was for me to fix diffs at leisure...
That's a huge + for the savage in my book.
New Savage! - snakebite46 - 01-19-2006
I like the diff acess on the new design. 6 or so screws and bam its out. Looks like trans is easier to access too.
New Savage! - mikeh - 01-19-2006
Wow they thought of everything! I love it!
Now who will buy my old Savage??
New Savage! - RobH - 01-19-2006
The X on the TVPs is pretty cool to me, but besides that, same old savvy. Its listed as $460 right now on tower hobbies.
it only takes me 4 screws to get my to tranny or diffs :p:
New Savage! - Tex - 01-19-2006
Sorry, I'm not up on all the things wrong with the savy or the stuff they fixed on this new one....The overall picture still looks like a savage is all I was saying. (which like tune said, it's supposed to look like a savage, it IS a Savage)
New Savage! - RobH - 01-19-2006
I don't see why they dont just release the new stuff as hop ups.
New Savage! - Michowski - 01-19-2006
because now they can make even more money buy having people buy another truck off of them.
New Savage! - rocco79 - 01-19-2006
It all IS going to be released as hop ups.... All the new upgraded parts will bolt directly to any current model savage
