Picked up a Savage 25 plus a whole pile of parts and tools for $30. I had no idea what to expect really.
I build and fly electric planes and just recently picked up a Litehawk Crusher which I bash around with a 2s battery.
I saw the Savage and was and am still very intimidated because it has nitro engines which I wanted to steer clear of for a great many reasons.
After reading lots and inspecting, I found that all parts are there (I think) but the pull chord does not turn the installed Axial engine and original 25 does not turn by hand at the flywheel.
I thought "great, e-conversion time!" After checking the parts, prices and involvement, that idea was shot down.
Now back to the idea of probably having to rebuild the engines. Just a piston and crank run $86 US which is well over $100 plus duty and shipping to Canada and not including gaskets or whatever else.
$30 or free, I'm apprehensive about spending plenty of unknown $ for hard to find parts. My gf may be forgiving but not a few hundred type of forgiving.
Any ideas?
