sean-vrs Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) the standard losi 5 engine puts out about the same! 2.7hp and more torque than a nitro this will fly.....its still on my list Edited May 8, 2014 by sean-vrs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Chris Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Eerrrrm only 2.7 hp? Is that it? The 4.6cc nitro motor has nearly double that power The 4.6 has 2.95 NO WHERE near double. Why do people continue to moan about products no one is forcing them to buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Or observations, ok i did get my figures slightly wrong but that happens to everyone now and again lol I'd still take this over the losi, at least this petrol sounds like a petrol lol.

mydoddy69 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Well if i want something with a shed load of torque that will go slow and climb hills i'll buy i summit and save me self some cash.. Now who'd of ever thought you could say buy a traxxas as it would be cheaper !!! .. Will be interested thou to see just how durable this really is as so far the only things i've seen it do are quite basic driving up and down.. 3 speed gearbox could be an absolute pig to work on if it goes wrong and another potential disaster area..

TrickyTris Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I can understand them taking their time, as the chap in the video said. Adding another range to the Savage line-up means it has to be just as durable & proven as its brothers.. Having said that, they should have kept it under wraps until a month before they actually release it. The amount of positive comments & potential buyers that posted when it was first announced were overwhelming, whereas now because they have pushed the release date back on more than one occasion & released some truly awful videos, people have lost interest and have looked elsewhere for their next rc fix. Still, it will be nice to see a proper video of it in action. Afterall, who wants to see a savage on all four-wheels? That's just unrealistic..
