Well.. I couldn't understand the languag, but I heard wheelie in the middle   :giggle:
Its probably not gonna wheelie on sand! Take it to a road or something! THEN it will wheelie no problem!!  :thumbsup:

Anyway, great truck!! Glad to see your having fun with it!

lol Divyam, it actually did wheelie! And one of them ended in a nice stoppie as well! I have a video of it. Will upload along with tomorrow's run. I've made a few mods to the braking system to make it more effective. There was also this small issue of the brake linkage not returning to neutral thereby causing brake drag. Fixed that with a spring and some rubber band ;) Will post pics tomo. Btw tomorrow's run is going to be recorded in HD ;)

Nice first drive :)

Mine sucked the most.Drove like an old lady. :D :P

On the toppling issue,I suggest you get some sway bars or lower it if you intend to run it in the same place.It does have good acceleration fora nitro.Looking at the start,I suggest you loosen the slipper a bit.And keep the cameraman safe dude. ;D


All in all,a great car,a great decision and good driving.go out and kick some ASS!! ;D ;D >:D


And your place is awesome to run a savage.Scare some onlookers while you're at it.>:D>:D

@Gandhar: Thanks bro. There are a couple more videos and you can certainly see some innocent onlookers jumping out of the Savage's way ;) Will put em up soon. Youtube encoding takes some time and I'm too lazy to put it up now. But do check out the new post I put up in the cars section.

@Sid: Thanks bro. After the tune we did on the phone it's running good. But its still spewing oil out the exhaust everytime I stop it someplace. There's a lot of smoke as well. I'll give it another shot tomorrow with you on the fone and if I still don't get it right I'll have Manoj help me.
