I’m looking to part with my Savage X 4.6 which is complete with radio, protostars, batteries etc and in very good condition. Has a few upgrades like tuned pipe, upgraded servos etc. can someone advise on what would be a reasonable price to put on it?
normally i would go on ebay and see what the prices are for your kind of savage then just go from there.

i have only upgraded mine 2 years ago but i really wouldnt mind doing another build, maybe AMD?

i will look into an isa allowance as that sounds better than a savings account.

all i can think is get a better percent on a savings account, i have found one at 8 percent which is nationwide bank.

apologies for hijacking but i wanted to know the best way to get good returns too so few months ago i opened up a chase savings account which i got the recoomendation from @Alex97 the percenatages for the that is 4.1 a month. i dont get much money but if i can put around 150 a month in then would that be a god return? or would i need to put more in?
-
i am not getting a pricey one, i will be getting the 936d which is around 40 new, i think that is a good price for a station 🙂
thank you for the tips (pun not intended)
keep your ideas/suggestions coming as i know i will need all the help i can get.
cheers again mate

oh forgot to mention, when you recommended the pricey solder station ( hakka) i would say no as that is nearly 200 squid, as nice as it is, i cant pay that much.
-
😄 that is me all over, i like to ask loads of questions. if you dont ask then you wont know 😄
-
apologies mate, completely missed that station link, yeah i think il get that one 🙂 that is very similar to the one i sold on here few years back. nice one bud 🙂
i think i am sorted for now but be warned everybody, i will most certainly be asking for more help when i hit a brick wall 😄 , i tend to do that alot 😄
-
many thanks guys 🙂
i only chose a station as it seems better for a beginner such as myself.
i am really determine to master this art 😄
at this moment i dont think i will be soldering anything rc, i dont have any and not sure if i will be getting any.
all i am thinking about is soldering motherboards, i know it will be harder as everything on a mobo is tiny but i am guessing once i can solder mobos then i am sure il be able solder anything rc.
i can get all the rest of the bits i need such as specail wool, mats and solders, i can take the link what @m4inbrain and @Lone-wolf put up.
i am just struggling to find a decent station though. there are so many out there 😞

i really dont think the solder i used has any flux in it.

ok guys i thought i would continue in a new thread 🙂
pictures from what i did last night, i think it took me over an hour to solder 2 wires to the motherboard 😄
@JonnyUK this is the closest i could find that is similar to what ive got:
ok guys, i really could do with a decent soldering iron or station, i am leaning more towards a station as obviously that can do more and it could help me more too so could anyone recommend me one please?
many thanks again guys 🙂
