| The ultimate nitro off road buggy in the 1:10 scale, | | | | Savage X are present in the X 4.6, among them |
| this monster truck is race-ready, what with many of | | | | lower CG (for precision handling), high-flow 2-stage |

| as good as the Nitrotek Bug Crusher PRO-or has | | | | What I like about the Savage X 4.6 is that it can |

| a dream-when it works. Using it, I found that the | | | | didn't have to worry about putting in dual disk brakes |
