It may not corner as well but as far as being put out of a race because someone runs into you etc. it seems like it would be far tougher.
I suppose I'll find out .... some day ... whenever the Joliet track is built but I know several guys on SC who race competitively in the A-Mains at local tracks, however, they have said the Savage is worthless in national competition.
Being an ex savage owner, there is one thing that is for sure. The savage can break just as easy as any other truck out on the race track. You should have seen how many times I broke over the winter! While I was bashing though, it was rock solid. I think it's pretty easy to say that racing is much harder on your truck than bashing.
