if you think about it they probally wouldnt make much profit off of them because you generally buy rpm if a certain part breaks alot. and on the savage there arent any parts that are prone to breaking except the steering and throttle. people generally dont buy rpm for looks b/c if ur gonna do that then just buy aluminum and i personally dont think there very good looking. the t-maxx parts have sold so well because a-arms and shock towers often break under hard use so the rpm parts are a inexpensive and good investment. that is probally why they dont make savage accessories

I'm with chrisAtmaxx, I just don't think they'd sell well since they're simply not necessary for strength. RPM doesn't even make red parts for the Maxx or RC10GT, do they?

Now, making A-arms for the HPI NMT might be smart, because the stockers break all the time!

doesgo and i could be wrong. ur best bet is to email rpm and get the facts from them. and yes u can get rpm parts in red, all u have do do is get the white and dye it to any color you can think of

What RPM parts can you get in white, other than wheels?

Almost all RPm parts come in white, blue, black and purple

Oh, I guess I'm just used to looking for RC10GT parts, which only come in black or blue.

Kinda funny (at least to a Savage guy) is that they make arms for the Monster GT and the T-Maxx, but not the Savage. Could it be out of necessity? :)

I wish I would have kept the e-mail from RPM. I e-mailed them to ask that exact question. Their response was that they wanted to focus on the vehicles that needed help in the strength department. They didn't think there was a need to produce parts for the Savage because it is a very tough truck right out of the box. They felt that there were plenty of other vehicles out there that they need to focus on. So basically if they can't make the part any better then they're not going to even make them. For example RPM doesn't make a bulkhead for the T-maxx just because the maxx has a badly designed bulkhead where it bolts to the chassis but I think they do make a bulkhead brace that takes some of the strain off of the bulkheads.
