How much to build a savage Racer

[kvnnets]

This would be the nitro equivalent to the "Your Flux Build Costs" thread.

This may help some people with prices to semi mod or fully mod their truck.

It will also be interesting to see the price differences between Canada and the US.

 

[kvnnets]

I will post mine as soon as I go through all my bills and price it out but I did start off with a stock Savage XL that I paid $650 cdn for.

There is other money in it in little peices add another 250 for my DX3R and all the parts that I have been though testing to get the truck to where it is and it gets insain. Not to mention the fact that I have doubles of almost everything on the truck as back up parts because I am a little OCD.

My advice to anyone that is going to build a all out nitro savage. Deceide what you want it to end up as and build towards that. Take your time and only buy what you need. Don't do like me and go through 4 diffrent types of tvp's because you can't afford the ones you want yet. Your truck will get done faster and you will save alot of money in the end.
