Its basically a Savage XXL. They kept that fuel tank tho, wtf. All that room in the front plates and they wouldn't put a new mid-tank type unit in there.
And 24mm hubs.. is this 1/5th scale std size? That sucks they didn't just use 23mm. Rly? 1mm makes a difference? Then people could have used those hubs on MT savvies, and the 5T could use any 40 series rim.

Those wheels could be fun on my XL. Big, but not too much sidewall to flex. That is one loooonngggg savvy. Looks cool tho, and is hopefully around $600-700. Much more than get the baja and fuelie engine and oversized parts.

Its dying to be BL tho. That nitro can't be that fast in that huge thing. Looks a little F heavy in the vid too. A big 1521 on lots of electrons should move it nicely.

I think the savage has been reinvented more times than Madonna.
