I'm looking to get a nitro MT and I'm leaning towards the savage xl, i had a nitro savage x 4.6 rtr but turned it into a brushless savage so basically a flux. i love it love the sound love the ease of use, love that i can drive it for 30 min and just blow off the dust, were it took me almost an hour to clean my nitro, (I'm picky didn't really like to store it away dirty, lol). but you know for the 4 months or so i did like the nitro side, i like the uniquness of the nitro nothing brings attection like a screaming RC MT going down the road or at a park. i have a BL now i would like to have a nitro once again and like i said I'm leaning towards the XL it wont be something i will drive alot of though just once in awhile like a special occation tip of thing, but i have heard and read on this forum that the K5.9 engine is well a piece of S$#@. i know i have heard and read about the others that have had no trouble with there k5.9, but me I'm not that lucky lol. so should i just sale the motor on ebay right off the bat, and get an LRP .30 (heard they complimented the XL nicly) or run the k5.9 into the ground then buy a new engine? and what would be some good upgrades to start with that would save me some hassle later on? like i said i did have a nitro before so i do still have the nitro stuff like the ignitor and fuel and the bottle that i have. do they make a center skid plate for the xl yet? thanks for any advise kind of want this to go as smoothly as i can. i know there are probley other MT out there but well I'm a SAVAGE FAN and i think i always will be .
