It's well built truck and very good... the SS is the middle one right? I haven't heard anything bad about them, I think they had some transmission and engine issues when they first released it a few years ago, but they've taken care of all the problems by now.

I downloaded yes man in about 45 minutes today. There are a lot of smaller specialty private trackers, but demonoid is the biggest and best.
HA! I downloaded 12 4.7GB 720p and 1080p movies at the U last weekend... in less than 20 minutes. 200kbps? psh... try 200mbps on gigabit

Brandon the SS is the same thing as the savage X4.6 just in kit form, but from the looks of it it way more work than the $40 less it costs.

I think for the $40 less you get some better parts? It's a trade off. Buying a kit is the best thing you can do to get yourself acquainted with the truck. I'd bet money that buiding something with wheels is at least 2x more intricate and complex than a boat. It's the in between of boats and aircraft I'd say...

It gets crazy though... I think there are tools you can buy to check wheel alignment haha.

Are they already up to a 4.6 motor? I believe it's .46cc or ci, not 4.6, that would be ridiculous. I remember back in the day when the 2.5 SS was the nicest one you could get!

The SS is not a roller and comes with everything, just not assembled. And it is a 4.6cc, pops wheelies with ease. ABC pistons don't use rings right?

EDIT: A real boat kit is much harder and longer to build. My boat came in a "kit" form but I did not have to build the hull, those kits are wood hulls. Cars are defianlty more intricate though, and require the same precision necessary with a boat. I wouldn't enjoy building the car up either, it would just to save some money. I am planning on building a Zipp Kitts hydro boat in the future, when I have a few months to kill. The kit is only $150 which is a great deal for a hydro hull, even a woodie.
