Captain-Fungi Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I have been offered a Savage .21 for 200 pounds, this would be my first nitro rc car. Would it be worth the money or should I save more and buy the 4.6/SS?? I am very interested in using this as a "project car" and adding all the available hopups, does this sound a good idea? Thanks for any help. A confused Captain-Fungi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I'm not sure what the 2nd hand prices are but yeh, the cheapest savage is the 3.5 (21) and its £300 so it might be worth it, but depends on its condition? you could always bolt a 4.6 into it at a later date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 if u upgrade a savage 21 to a 4.6 engine does it mean you have to change anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 its a direct bolt in so the gearing only - to stop the excessive wheelies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain-Fungi Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 From what I can see it is in good condition and has only been used like five times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 oh right so you dont have to upgrade the manifolds or exhaust then. is the 4.6 stronger than a 21? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzi220 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 nah its all the same as the other savvys, but the 4.6 comes with some good hoppups and spyder diff I think, merlin knows best wait until he reads it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momin Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 i know this guiy who has 2 savage 21's just come back from tunning them! £200 seems to be a fair price imo... but you could get savage 25's for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
