    savage xl 59 tuning

    I had a guy in my shop today with a new Savage XL. I tried to help him tune it and I gave up. In my 10 years of Nitro R/C, I have never seen anything so hard to tune. I guess I have been spoiled with easy to tune SH engines. The guy finally decided to take the 5.9 out and put in a SH .28 8 port...

    Axial .28 vs. LRP 28

    Have the best of both. Buy the SH .28 8-Port and you get the LRP at a better price. The LRP is made by SH.

    Savage XL Diffs.

    That's what I thought. I have solved the problem with this one. The ring gear is actually perfect. It was only the pinion that was damaged. It looks like one of the bearings came apart causing the diff to move and break pinion teeth. I just replaced the pinion with the same size and it will be...

    Savage XL Diffs.

    Yes, I know that if you have different gearing you would have to change both. That was my question, are the bullet proof diffs a different ratio?

    Savage XL Diffs.

    I am clueless when it comes to the Savage trucks. I have one here that I am working on. The front Pinion is stripped. I have some parts that someone gave me from a SS kit, but they are different. I do know about the "Bullet Proof" diffs, but if I change the front one, do I also have to change...

    LRP 28 Spec 3 Break In Question

    I have had very good results with the pinch test as long as the engine is warm and pinch it right after a fast run. One very common problem I see at the track is when guys don't check the idle gap. If you do a pinch test and your truck revs so high that it starts to move, the idle gap may be...

    Best clutch set up for xl with lrp.28

    Don't wish you had bought a new truck. Then you would have paid for the new truck and the LRP Spec 3. Engine after you throw away the stock Engine. The LRP is an awesome engine. I run the SH .28 8-Port (Same Engine, Different Name) in my Truggy and it is insane. I recently converted it to a...

    LRP 28 Spec 3 Break In Question

    If you think it is rich and you are getting high temps, throw away the temp gun and run the engine. A temp gun is a good tool sometimes, but other times it takes over for common sense. (No offense intended). I have seen guys waste hours because there engine is running crappy (rich) but there...

    Baja Steering Servo.

    What's a good servo to replace the stock Servo in a 5B? I used to have a 5B and it had a Hitec, but I don't know which one. I have looked at some Hitec 1/4 scale servos, but they have either plastic gears, or less than 200oz of torque. The HPI gear upgrade is not an option, because this guy's...

    In the market for a DX3S???

    Be careful ordering from this site. The DX3S and all other Spektrum Products are owned by Horizon Hobby. If these guys are selling the DX3S for $205, they are breaking Horizons rules. The Min. Advertised Price (MAP) on this product is $249.99 which is why all the other retailers sell it for...

    Sh z-car z10xb

    They are tough. Even the Truggy with longer Susp arms, has never broken a susp part. My brother runs a RTR Version of the Z-CAR ZMXB-8 buggy and it is tough. Here is a picture of the Z10 brake linkage. I have the same system on my Truggy and it works great. They use an "automotive" style brake...
