I had a Savage 25. I put a 3 speed box in it and a STS.28 engine.
Was fucking unbelievably quick!
I had to upgrade loads of bits tho and it broke all the time!

do it mate you will love it. especially with the longer days in the summer and the good weather
few of my mates got t-maxx trucks and ive got a ho-bao hyper 7 rallycross buggy.
if theres a few of you getting them you will have some great fun together. try operating them when youre pissed too, it aint the easiest
but be prepared to break it and have to spend money repairing it. if you dont break it then you aint using it properly imo
