    Servo savers and steering

    I'm on the bottom of the learning curve, but I'll get there. It does have them on the truck. What confused me is the fact that the package that came with the truck labled "servo saver" has only plastic parts on a tree...no springs. Thanks for putting up with me guys!

    Servo savers and steering

    Oh GOOD! They told me it has MORE lube. I called and asked about it when they opened and they said they would tune it for me. I got there with it and they asked me to leave it overnight. What do you bet that I get it back tommorow along with being told I need to break it in again? And a gallon...

    Ok, the Savage has been sizzling across the lawn and back for a couple weeks now. Ran out of fuel and the guys at the hobby store sold me 30% helicopter fuel. I added it to what was left in the tank <about 1/3> and fired it up. I warm it up for my son because I know what will happen if I set him...

    Just wondering How BIG was this forum before it got hacked???

    FUTHERMUKKERS!!!!!!!!! Does that sort of thing ruin your photos? Ran that Savage tonight again w/ Andy <my son> with a LACK OF MERCY. Runs like a Swiss watch < Fair Comparison > and more bulletproof than 30mm of Kevlar!
