Hi All,
Been a creepy stalker since I bought one about 5 years ago, I ran it and it worked well till I broke it and just didn't have time to get around to getting it running again.
Isolation ftw, have had a bit of down time to actually get back into my truck and give it some TLC.
However, from what i can see the Savage XL isn't a current model anymore? when did it get discontinued?
I have found things like the K5.9 gaskets are rarer than hens teeth, I have been looking across all states in Australia and then even UK, HK, US etc and it seems everyone is out of stock, I assume they aren't making the parts any more.
What are you guys finding is the best way to get parts?
Also back when I first bought it there was a poop tonne of options from integy etc, but I am finding there isn't alot available now. How much of the Savage X parts are compatable with the XL?
the XL is a longer chassis yeah? it has the 3 speed over the 2 speed but other than that the running gear is very similar yeah?
I know these are very generic questions but just trying to get my bearings on what is the best course of action cause if parts are only going to get harder I suppose I am probably better to get a replacement car. Part costs add up quick.
I am also noticing a general move away from nitro. Who here has gone say from a XL to a Flux or vice versa? or is there another option?
