...for I have decided the collection has to be trimmed, and when I say
trimmed, I mean, to nothing :-(

Moving abroad to Canada for 9 months on a kinda work/travel deal, and the
cash freed up from the RCs will be most welcomed.  The Sav will be stripped
of mods to be flogged off seperately, the RC18MT, TS4N and big block T-Maxx
will just go 'as they are'.

Obviously, the second I get back, I'll be having something new ;-)

Who knows, maybe I won't get a Sav - quite fancy an LST2 or a Revo 3.3....

Heh, I'll post pics and a long, long list on the group, or I'll put it all
online and link to those that want to see, so as to avoid being flamed for
spamming :-)  It'll be about a month yet, gotta finish Uni first ;-)

Dood!

You know you'll never get 1/2 of what you paid for them back, so why not
fill the motors full of oil and leave em' be?  Why not ship em' to Canada so
you can have some fun while yer' abroad?

I'll never sell any of my collection as I realize I'll never get enough $$$
out of them to make it worthwhile!

Yea I know, but the cash will come in, and it gives the chance for a shiny
new truck when I return :-)  I'm fancying an LST2 - dunno why really, of
course, it'll be over a year from now when I get another, so we'll see
what's shiny and new then...

I was talking to the guys who run MT's at the track last week and they're
not too keen on the LST or the LST 2 for durability reasons.  The Savages,
as unmanouverable as they are, are still kicking every other MT's a.s out
there, including the Revos, AND it's a tight, technical track to boot.  I
couldn't believe it; I thought for sure the LST2 would kick a Savage's a.s 
on-track.

Popularity breeds success, not the other way around.  If the best
drivers at the track prefer Savages, then by golly they'll figure out
how to win with them.  Technically, there's no way a Savage should
out-handle a Revo, but the driver makes a *world* of difference.

I'll agree with that 100%; didn't think of it that way when I was speaking
with the guys at the track.  Any you're right, there is no physical way a
Savage will out manouver a Revo, or a T-Maxx for that matter!

i must agree with this poast.

the driver/tuner makes the difference regardless of the surface.  i have
seen o.p.s crap engines out run maranellos, rossis, and the like just
because the tuner/driver had a few tricks up his sleeve.

Yeah, we might start thinking he's ill or something!  <g>  In all
seriousness, it was an intelligent and insightful post and hit on an area I
completely overlooked.
