    RC Screwz are Junk!

    I believe you when you say their product is excellent. The problem is shipping a box full to Canada. I think the import charges are out of hand for most stuff I by from the U.S.

    RC Screwz are Junk!

    Dubro for me! Quality hardware, never had an issue with stripped screws. The worst has to be the screws that came on my Stampede 4X4 VXL. Stripped everyone of those suckers. All have been replaced with Dubro Hardware. A suggestion, where ever you can use a cap head screw, do so. I find...

    Engine swap to 5.9

    In case you doubt my previous post. I went from a Stock Savage X w/O.S. 30VG to XL TVPs and XL engine plate. Same engine, same mount. I only noticed they where bent (plate and braces were bowed and cracked) when I pulled it all apart. You may also want to swap out the engine plate for the XL...

    Anyone use HPI Goliath tires

    I had already changed out my steering servo. I put in a Hitec which has all metal gears and about 300 oz of torque. I was able to turn them full lock when it wasn't moving. Never had a problem with roll overs, my a-arms are petty level, though.
