Definitely but it would still be nice to own. If I had the money free I would have it and it could go next to my HPI Nitro RS4 on the top of the fridge!! hehe

lovely. Cant see the body lasting long on anything other than a billiard table smooth surface? No jumps off sleeping policemen. It is gorgeous though. :-)

It is nice but you would be afraid of smashing it up :'(

Wouldnt mind a Omega Shell for my Nitro TC3 SS

not a bad electric model that Tamiya looks like the TA-03/TB-01 chassis which is easily tunable although Apex models in Berkshire sell the same model for £140 so i dont know where the £350 rrp is from ::)

the fun of r/c is smashing em up an electric car will last alot longer that a nitro r/c my TC3 is capable of 70mph with 3 ratios and if that hits a kerb at top whack its wrecked an electric model hitting a kerb wont cause much damage if any!

Nitro is fun and fast and the batties dont go flat but there a pain in the arse  always having to tweak and tune them. thats why i moved over to gassers  26cc two stroke strimmer engines  that run all day and never complain

Got 2x Nitro 4Tec's one for parts the other has the TRX 2.5 engine in it

and my pride and joy the Nitro TC3 and some electric Tat! i am also in Radio race car mag now and then

out of all of them the savage is unbreakable i have driven it flat out off a works building roof onto a 3 floor drop and nothing broke! also Savages can set speed cameras off  ;) ;)
