So, once again, what say you Castle?

look at my post higher up on this page........

it pretty much explains everything you need to know. your savage with stock gearing should be run with 150a+ batteries to be safe. 125a batteries can suffice with a stock savage, but your savage has been upgraded to XL size and you can now put more power to the ground, requiring better batteries.

edit: didn't realize this was a new page starter.....look on the last page (pg.19) for my post.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
