    Looking at getting into Nitro again. What should I buy?

    Severe problems breaking all the time, learned, you have to be gentle with them, they sure ain't a savage. If I wanted a nitro truck now, I personally wouldnt hesitate to buy a savage x right now. There are parts on ebay. I have a severely modded and lightened savage x now, never was happier!

    Running issues
