Did you see this? Brushless Savage! With an MMM?

It looks like it comes standard with deans and big bores. I think I am going to have to get me one of these.

I am curious as it says the tranny is all metal. It also doesn't say anything about a 2 or three speed. This could be awesome and the trany case is still the same so it will make an easy conversion to single speed for all the existing conversions out there like me.

I dont know why I'm posting in this thread instead of in the HPI thread, but it looks as though the only down side (compared to the other RTR brushless) is they did not use 2.4 radio system.
Other than that it looks great. If it has the reliability of the Savage line, this will be a great seller. I'm much more tempted by this than I was with the brushless Revo. I wonder how they shaved so much weight off the existing Savage to only need 1 shock on each corner. Seems to me that it may end up soft....but one could always convert to the Savage suspension.

The savage works fine with only one shock on each corner. It works better actually.

thats the thing I want to know most about. I have a Sav XL, I have it nitro for now, but if I convert it the tranny may be useful. I don't see man brakes, nor mention of a shifter, so I'm assuming its just a 1 spd. It should just bolt up where the current 2 or 3spds do.

This thing is def awesome. I like my savage much more than the Revo. Better basher and tougher. Thank god someone is finally giving TRX a real run for their money on the E-MTs. The E-Sav was crap. Wonder what the MSRP will be.

I'd guess somewhere around $650.

My guess will be exactly the same as the brushless e-revo.

I hope so...
