Savage 5T is a 1/8 scale nitro car. It has been discontinued as far as I know. Wasnt a popular car and its life was very short.

Its based on the Savage XL platform which is longer and bigger than the Savage X series. The 5T type body makes it look even bigger.

1/5 nitros may never come.

Yup.From what I have read,nitros ain't good on 5th scales due the low power for the size.They go to petrol or electric(The Castle Creations Mamba XL)

The Savage 5T came and went so fast it was unbelievable. We got a limited number of them. It is just an XL with a extended chassis. It also included a conversion to mount Baja tyres so it would look more scale. But for some reason we still havent recd and complaints about the car yet. A couple of them run regularly at Della Adventure.

I have seen a few vidoes of the mamba, but i think its too expensive a conversion as of now, plus there are not too many people out there who have done it. I would wait a bit.
