    getting out of control

    Sounds like you need to adjust the throttle trim on your transmitter and adjust the idle screw on the carb. I assume you have a Savage? Keep searching. You will figure it out.

    Externally adjustable 1st-2nd in a 3 speed!

    @Scrog..I will be running an STS .30 w 15/47 gearing. They truck really rips. I just got to the gallon mark on the engine. I too am concerned about the gear durability. This engine has broken everything at least once in this drive train. First the diffs then the dog bones and most recently I...

    Externally adjustable 1st-2nd in a 3 speed!

    I was tired of splitting my savage to adjust the 1st-2nd gear in my 3 speed tranny. I know an X style easy access case is available but this still seems like a significant amount of work. So I made 1st-2nd externally adjustable….Heres how. Disassembled the tranny (last time I hope) and...

    Nitro MT experiments

    I have a Nitro MT w a TRX 2.5, 2 speed trans, Aluminum shocks, MIP shiny CVD's and an aftermarket pipe. It was my first nitro and I love it. Clocked at 42 mph last fall. Good luck.

    GPS on board speed runs + bashing breakage

    Had beautiful weather today. Had some issues with my 1:1 truck fixed it then bashed a bit for the first time this year. Time to turn the STS .30 loose…I broke it in last fall and turned it loose…less than a half tank I ripped the rear diff out. So fresh diffs installed and fresh...

    Radar Guns??

    Or........Use your wife's GPS and strap it to your truck. WOOOT. I did it with my HPI Nitro Racer...42 mph by the way. It does add some wieght and huge paranoia of crashing and breaking it. I wrapped it in foam and rubber banded it to the truck. I am planning on checking my Savage the...

    2wd

    Yes...this puts the entire load on the rear diff. Bash it but don't be suprised if you rip the rear diff. I know I would continue to run.......

    New Diffs from ebay...RTR?

    I just purchased two complete X differential set-ups from Nitronutzz on ebay. Like these...http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=310022900157&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=021 They seem really stiff. I know they are brand new and can see they have been shimmed well, but the...

    Tie Rod

    I'm sure they make better/stronger ones. One of the tips I have seen is to put a small washer on them to keep them from popping off. I have had a few pop off and I just snap back on. Be aware that if you put washer or stronger rod ends on, something else may break instead. Later...

    Broken spider gears ;)

    Finally got through the break-in on my STS D30 and wouldn't you know...less than one tank of fuel and a few wheelies I now have a broken rear diff. The R/P still looks ok. If you look at the pic closely you can see the diff housing has a big bulge and a hole in it where it tried to throw out...
