    Dual Stainless Brakes

    I did consider it but making a nice hex into good quality stainless steel isnt that easy and frankly, I was too lazy trying it so far. Fiber is the next best thing and works also - most of the time. ;)

    Dual Stainless Brakes

    Pads on steel brakes isnt really an issue. You just don't use pads. Steel on steel with a mod like the one shown below does the trick and brakes just as good as fiber discs but does so also when soaking wet. However, I did eventually move to fiber brakes because the steel discs are too...

    Tour of my Savage X

    How did you destroy your TVPs like that? :drunk: Almost looks like a clean cut! :axed:

    Just dipped my servo..

    I had the same issue. Theres a thinner available from PlastiDip that allows you to thin that stuff to your liking. Since I didnt have that then and needed it done quickly, I just used a brush. Doesnt look as smooth as a proper dip but oh well, as long as its sealed...

    Steering Slop Be Gone

    Thats exactly how I see it. Its half the fun of this hobby to make and build little things here and there by yourself. :beer: For example, a couple months ago I saw this stylish and shiny (stainless steel no less!) toothbrush cup/holder somewhere - at the end of the day it was turned into a...

    Steering Slop Be Gone

    I like the mods on your truck. The steering mod certainly seems to be worthwhile. Well done!

    Savage pic of the day

    Thanks Scott :) Zumiez, are those 40 series mashers on your truck? Judging by the rims, I would have guessed the smaller masher 2000, but the low profile suggests the former... I got a set of 40 series on axial 8-spokes myself and really like them on gravel, due to bigger size even more...

    Savage pic of the day

    Took these last spring. First and for quite a while the last time I had the monster titan wheels on my savage. :crazy: They're just too wobbly but probably still nice on ultra rough terrain...

    Who here uses swaybars???

    I recently installed the HPI kit and they work like a charm! One of the best 25$ upgrades I've ever made.

    Loctite Beadlock Rim Screws?

    The little screws on the maximizers will still bite even after removing them several times, no worries.

    thinking of going to the dark side

    LiPos (batteries in general) don't like low temperatures either. Very low temps not only reduce the capacity of batteries, it can also permanently degrade it, especially with LiPos.

    HPISF's first inside look of the new "bulletproof" diffs

    HPI should have gone the whole nine yards and replace the 10x16 bearings with 8x16 to make these truly bullet proof. They missed a golden opportunity there...
