Thunder Tiger TS4N with the optional Evo engine, carbon fibre everything, 2
speed box, starter box, loads of spares, yay :)

Dan,

it looks like you've been bitten by the bug well and truly there mate! I
just got my Savage SS and i'm in the middle of doing so essential repairs
and mods but loving it all the same!!

The beauty of this one is, it has most hop ups fitted, all the carbon parts,
a starter box, some spares, a carbon fibre shell, 2 speed, the uprated
engine, everything :) And it was a steal at £120! When you factor in the
car new is £260, theres an easy £150 of spares/hop ups, £100 worth of
starter gear, so i'm pretty chuffed :) Thinking neons, skyline shell,
chrome wheels, full on street racer stylee ;)

Yeah dude, do it - 2fast 2furious style - I can't decide what to do with my
clear savage shell just yet but I'm thinking Silver(fade)Purple front to
back or maybe all red or black in Ford F350 Lightening stylee. hmm
suggestions on a postcard.....

Theres loads on the Maxbashing forum, take a poke around and get some ideas.
I reckon light purple to metallic black would look sweet :)

Only its not on its way now, seller kept fobbing me with some sob stories,
then it turned out it was his mates, and he was selling it for him, then he
wanted £38 for postage...

£38 for postage? He was having a laugh - I recently did a two way swop
through Initial City Link where they came to my house, collected my
package - took it all the way to Surrey from Yorkshire by the next morning -
collected the package to be returned and brough it back to me the following
day by lunch time - the cost.. A princely £35 an absolute bargain.

That is damn good actually! Worth bearing in mind for the future. Theres
no way you can lose out either, because presumably they won't release the
thing you've sent until they have what they're taking back.

that's right I asked to specify that they were not to release my parcel
until they had one to return to me - in fairness it still took a bit of tust
but worked out well - I get paid in 2 hours and 5 minutes and so some new
servos and a nice new shell will be adorning my savage that I got in return
for my Menace - there's also some UFO wheels on their way over from the
states right now - once it's all together I'll post some pics on Maxbashing

Sweet :) To make myself jolly again after the road car fiasco, i ordered a
Nova pro race cooling head from the states, then went to the Top Options and
ordered Kyosho 3 shoe alu clutch, K-Tec vented clutch bell, some new
bearings, and a Hudy 2.5mm hex driver from Russ :)
