    Truck for kids

    I have an 8 year old daughter and a 6 year old nephew that I want to get a truck, truggy, buggy, etc. for (of course I will play with it a little too!) but I don't have a clue what to do for someone that young. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of a 1/18 scale (however some 1/10...

    New Track Design (Suggestions???)

    Thanks for the help and yes, that drainage flex is what I found. 4" hose is $.49 a foot! The guy at the plumbing supply warehouse where we buy some stuff slipped and told me where they actually get their supply, so I called them directly and they said they would sell directly to the public...

    New Track Design (Suggestions???)

    Thanks for the info. Yes, the lanes are 10' wide and could have a few more inches if possible. This track isn't going to be a heavily driven track as it will be my personal track, so hopefully I can keep my savage inside a 10' lane! I think it will be a nice combination of speed and...

    New Track Design (Suggestions???)

    So I am building a track beside my house but haven't made my final decision on the layout. I sketched several designs and decided on the one pictured below, but I want some opinions on jumps and locations, plus any other ideas. The room I have to work with is 150 x 60 with a little more room...

    HPI Big Bore Aluminum Shock Set for Savage!

    So someone posted on another site that HPI states that these big bore shocks don't come with oil, and that the recommend either 10, 20, or 30 wt oil. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case then I assume most everyone will need some oil!!! Don't worry, I will probably have PLENTY to...

    Replacing Clutch Shoes (and more)

    Thanks for the information. I understand the shoes, springs, settings, etc, but are you saying use this flywheel? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXPF82&P=7 I see that OFNA makes a flywheel spacer kit that is very inexpensive so might go ahead and get that along with...

    Replacing Clutch Shoes (and more)

    I have read numerous threads about people installing aluminum clutch shoes and having problems, so I wanted to start off with ALL the right parts as to make it as smooth of a transition as possible. With that being said, what ALL is needed to change these out, everything from a flywheel...

    Racing Servo(s)

    I too have the 5645 for the steering, but just moved the stock steering to the throttle position, but I have ALWAYS been wanting a quicker response out of my throttle. Also, my truck is apart awaiting the high speed 3rd gear for my new 3-speed transmission, then I can put it back together...

    Racing Servo(s)

    So I have researching and reading all day and I have some questions that hopefully somebody may have an answer for. I am setting up my savage to primarily race, and am looking at servos at the moment. I read one link that had an entry, mid, and high end suggestions, but they were all...

    My Little "Monster!!"

    Well, I am new to this site (and to the Nitro world) but I am going to TRY to post some pictures of my Savage as it currently sits. I made an effort to copy a Trophy Truck and will try to put a picture of it up there as well for comparison. Just read how to deanodize all the purple parts so...
