I don't personally know of any, but a friend of mine built his own. He actually cut some CF TVPs for me years ago.

Been awhile since I fired up an of my trucks too. The local track doesn't run a MT class any more, and hardly anyone runs Nitro. Hopefully this summer I can fire up mine and run it around the yard at least.

The XS does a good job if upholding the durability standard with the exception of the stock outdrive cups. Go HD air and you're good to go. I went with the set of hot racing. Things so much fun at the BMX dirt jumps.

The XS is way closer to the original savage the the e-savage ever could be.

HobbyFever.com, AKA the SC Store, has a fair bit of parts in stock, not sure what you are looking for. Towerhobbies is the HPI distributor last I knew. I have seen quite a bit of parts on ebay and amazon also.

All I use it for anymore is my avatar. All the popup ads are really annoying.

As long as it has enough oil in it I don't think it's an issue. What is the nitro% and what is the oil content?

If you read the entire thread, the subject is building a Savage to reach the highest speed possible, not what vehicle to by that is built to go fast.

Yup, facebook has killed just about every forum that I use.

Happy New Year to you as well.

I agree with SV250. Some new batts and fuel and fire 'em up.
Get the upgrades after you get them up and running.
Do the engines turn over?

Sweet find! You get a chance to see if the engine turns over?

I'll try to answer your questions as asked: 1. I don't clean with water at all. When I do a thorough cleaning, I remove all the electronics and spray the rest down with WD-40, let sit for a few minutes then blow off with my air compressor. Water can get into bearings and cause other steel parts in t...
