    Brake questions

    I looked in the manual and the exploded view doesn't really help. What I was wondering is what does the rod, that goes into the side of the TVP, connect to? I can pull mine right out, but before I take the brakes apart I want to know where the rod connects. I can't copy and paste a picture of...

    Brake questions

    I have a Savage X 4.6 and sometime during a bash session I shredded a brake rotor and need to replace it. I thought I read somewhere that you can convert the Savage to run the Traxxas brake set up, is this true and will it work any better? I was also looking for an exploded view of how the...

    Antenna Question

    Thanks Wister, that looks like it might work. I'm a little confused as to how it mounts and whether you put the antenna when it's in use on the truck. Could you post some pictures of how you used it in your truck? Would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    Antenna Question

    Does anyone have any good suggestions for keeping the antenna from getting broken when your tires are pointed at the sky? I've tried cutting the antenna tube at the body line then joining it with the fuel tubing and that lasted a little longer than the 2nd antenna tube I bought. The last time...

    Savage 4.6 questions

    The aftermarket failsafe connects between the radio and throttle servo. You unplug the throttle servo connector (Ch. 2 I think, just follow the wire or look in the owner's manual) and plug it into the failsafe and plug the failsafe into the throttle connection on the radio box. To set up the...

    Radio Problem

    Hey thanks for the help, I did try yanking out the Fail Safe and now everything seems to work fine. I'm thinking the the Fail Safe s**t the bed, will have to take it back for a replacement as I feel as it's cheap insurance to protect the truck.

    Removing purple anodizing

    Hey everyone!! I've read a few posts and seen some pictures of guys that removed the purple anodizing off the stock parts and thinking of doing that myself. What I was wondering was will it affect the strength of the part? I was also thinking of doing my cooling head as well but I was...

    Suspension advice

    Hey great advice guys!! Thanks for your help, I have a set of RPM A-Arms waiting for me at my LHS, and they are cheaper than the stock ones and seem to be more durable. But what about the skid plate should I stick with plastic for that too or can the skid plate be alum. and the a-arms be plastic?
