    RSC with XL extended axles.

    i'm your huckleberry :) running 1/2" offset wheels, XL axles, and RSC. so far so good, but only time will tell. turning is fantastic, but i did shave off the steering stop. i reckon that if i didn't have o-rings in my outdrives, i may be at risk of the drive shafts popping out. so far so...

    limit power using transmitter EPA

    here are a few links: here, post #12, 3rd paragraph here, need to search the page for EPA as there's no post #s waiting to hear back from CC for the truth.

    my savage flux

    got a couple new pics up of the stance with it lowered. what a difference that makes coupled with the RSC; wow! took it for a quick spin tonight, and the turning response was fantastic, thanx to heavier servo spring and bearings. didn't get much of a feel for the badlands, as it seemed that...

    limit power using transmitter EPA

    howdy, i've been reading warning of "castle creations" warning people not to set their throttle EPA below 100%. basically, the consensus is that if you limit your power using your radio's EPA, the ESC will fry. what's the deal with that? if i set my throttle EPA to 25%, wouldn't that just...

    drive shaft o-ring

    hmm, i just installed my RSC, and have eliminated the steering stop on the spindles. hopefully this doesn't become a problem. can always install a grub screw as an adjustable steering stop if that's the case though, i guess. it's a pity my spindles only have one hole (no adjusting), but i've...

    drive shaft o-ring

    not sure what durometer the o-rings are that HPI uses in this application, probably 70A, but i snugged 75A o-rings in there (diff cups). the diff cups don't taper/round like the inside of the axles, so maybe that's why they're not "everywhere" on the truck. thanks for the heads up on the...

    drive shaft o-ring

    well, for the heck of it, i sourced an o-ring that would fit into the diff cups and it seems to help prevent the drive shafts from clanking around. *shrug*

    drive shaft o-ring

    howdy, looking over the RSC instructions and then at the Flux manual closer, it seems that i do not have the 75080 o-rings in my diff cups. are these necessary to prevent wear or are they just there to quiet things down? according to the manual, there should be o-rings in the diff cups mating...

    replacement screw kits

    thanks Whipnet, i'll give it a go. :)

    replacement screw kits

    are the fine threads still as potent in a hole that has already been, how do i put this, "stretched out" by a coarse thread screw? i imagine if the hole was fresh, fine threads would be acceptable. am i thinking wrong? i just don't want to put a fine threaded screw in a coarse threaded hole...

    replacement screw kits

    i picked up a replacement screw kit ("Tony's") to have on hand. i noticed that all of the screws have the fine thread pitch that some of the factory screws use, but does not include any of the coarse thread pitch screws that bite down into the various plastic pieces. what good does that do...

    my savage flux

    well, i mounted the RPM skid plate and it turned out alright. definitely better than nothing! i also added the OFNA spring to the servo saver: MUCH stiffer. the thing with the skid plate is that it's not shaped properly as it's meant for a savage x with stock TVPs. i had to invert the...

    my savage flux

    thanks Mickey! just placed an order for a Kershaw Designs Heavy Duty Slipper Spring kit. perhaps with this, i'll have some adjustability of the slipper. can lock it down "enough" for safer back flips, and be able to tune down the "wheelie all the time" characteristics when (if?) desired (e.g...

    normal for batteries to discharge unevenly?

    howdy, i have two SMC 20c 8000mah packs that i have yet to fully discharge, but have now recharged twice, if not thrice. this last time i charged them, i noticed that one pack took ~3700mah and the other ~5300mah. is this normal? they were ran in my savage flux using the Blur ESC which...

    my savage flux

    thanks Combuster, i saw that but am holding off on that project for a rainy day. since the RSC is on the way, it may be a while until it rains. unless, of course, i break something. :) today i noticed that one of the turnbuckle ends has a mean curve to it. looks to be a mold defect. this is...

    my savage flux

    well, the preliminary opinion is that they're great! it was a chore getting everything mounted and situated on the half-ups, but i managed. i glued the bead on the inner rib and then another CA session where the sidewall contacts the wheel, just in case. the cool thing about the rims is that...

    my savage flux

    thank ya, it's truly a beast! ...compared to my mini e-revo. :) got the wheels/tires in today. added a pic up top. waiting for the red loctite on the pinion grub screw to cure so i can take it for a spin. hopefully it hold, otherwise i may have to look into notching the motor shaft to help...

    my savage flux

    drat, you're 100% right, stated right on RPM's site, albeit in a tiny "note" stating that it won't fit the flux.... thinking a little more, depending how it mates up with the TCS TVPs, i may be weary of making any structural modifications to fit the plate. perhaps a 2 liter pop bottle and some...

    my savage flux

    hmmm, i don't know, but i sure hope it'll work. if not, i'll have to make it work one way or another, because i hate having the drive shafts open to the elements like that. same with those three ESC wires that go up into the receiver box. if it doesn't fit, we'll ask it nicely to comply using...
