On the other hand the Baja SC SS looks awesome.

Any views?
So the Savage gets the true RTR treatment.The SC is quite expensive.
Huh what a tradeoff! Bad body for True RTR.. Either ways, a Savage is a Savage..
Can't wait for them to release the 10th scale Savage Flux and the Trophy Flux series! :D
SC is quite expenssive and its huge. Can scare people and rather large animals also :D

Would love to see videos of it doing that >:D .I remember having seen a vid where a 5B struck a cameraman head on. brutal-ish :giggle:
5b looks small compared to this.
I prefer the looks of the silver-chrome wheels to black on the savage. Too much black.
Nothing much has changed. Basically the same old platform with some changes. Old wine in new bottle with some flavouring..... A 4WD baja is what the market needs. They are trying to ride on the success of the SC trucks.

This is what most manufacturers are doing these days.This trend seems prevalent with Traxxas.They used the stampede 2wd platformform the grave digger trucks.They have used the 1/16 chassis so many times.All they have changed is tires,body and shocks(and linkages).Not many 'new' things coming.
The last NEW thing was the slash i guess. That was rally new to the field and worked like a charm.
The slash(2wd and 4wd) was the last new thing Traxxas made.The latest new car I can remember is the Losi 22.But that class is non-existent here.Our tracks are not made for 1/10 buggies.

Black looks bes, silver chrome peels off on using Mr. Muscle or Colin....(Adviced to me by a very experienced friend and hpi delaer)
Hmmm did not know that. Its just chrome on plastic right?
looks like Chrome paint on plastic rims
