meno Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Sorry couldnt get photos, he has already stripped it. When it landed, which was on a concrete road it looked like the body had broken and popped off as it was twisted but on inspection the body was still on all pins, the rear end had bent round, side chassis plates bent, now its stripped he has found a broken diff housing and 2 broken shocks. To be honest i dont find the savage very strong, it always breaks when we are out, bit like my VRX2, but im yet to break the hyper st.

(Note to self: take pics on scene) any monster truck that lands foul on concrete is gonna break ! Looked like a kamikaze mission HA ! Truggys/buggys can take much more abuse because of the simpler compact design. I run a monster and yes i do have to fix it more often but its the versitility i love...crawling through streams...mud..long grass..jumps and then whizzing along after buggys..cant beat it Up for the 30th may bash dude ?

barnetbasher Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 sum1 needs to learn to hit the brakes to bring the front of the truck down in-flight i reckon with a jump that high and fast you'd be lucky to control it with brakes/throttle...its in the hands of the RC gods mainly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
