Hi all,
Is there a good thread or website out there that details the differences between Savage kits that HPI has released? Or a historical timeline? The reason why I ask, I decided to go a different route with my kids builds. That is buy some used trucks and rebuild them. So I found someone off Craigslist selling two savy rollers. I was under the impression they were both at least Savage X kits. During the purchase, I asked the guy what kits he had purchased, SS or RTR. He told me they were both RTR kits.
Well we started to disassemble both yesterday, and one is clearly an X "something". But the other one looks like my SS or a Savage 25 but has X version TVPs and roll bar / handle.
So now I'm confused. I thought that all Savage X kits had the easy to access diff design. Am I wrong? If so, what kit was that? Because other then the X TVPs and roll bar. The Bulkhead, shock towers, and skit plates look like my SS. Here are some pics:
The unknown Savage.
Close ups of the unknown Savage. These were the wheels on the savage.
Close ups of the Savage X.
Kids Wrenching away ..... OR NOT!!! Dam boys..
Thanks for the time and support,
Nick
