I have been driving this car for almost 3 years now and the car is still running well! Believe it or not, the car has runned 75 litres of fuel and the engine is still running!
Last week the car was overhauled and the spur gear was replaced by the steel version including vented clutch bell. I also rebuildt the diffs including alu diff housings. All the cup joints on the prop shafts were changed, they were a bit worned. The disk brake was replaced by the double fibre version from the X 4,6. I also spended a new X-type radio box because it is more easy to enter the batteries and radio gear.
I am so impressed about the durability of the Savage 3,5 that I yesterday bought a brand new Savage X 4,6 with reverse. The car is now ready for break-in and years of fun!
My Savage 3,5 will still be used, but now permanently by the Destroy Department (my 13 years old stepson who already has driven the car a lot).
