Thanks Woodie, I said the same thing for years and I finally have one. It's very different from what I'm used to! The slightest change to the suspension is very noticeable and the steering is super sensitive compared to any offroad rc that I have driven.
I have been running the car and it's...
The voices in my head were telling me that as I put it back together but I didn't listen, it will just give me a reason to work on it again later lol.
The truck is back together with the engine mounted and ready to go! I'm still waiting on tires/wheels, a couple of right hand thread axles, new...
I had a VXL system sitting on the bench so Thats the motor esc, put a savox SW-0231MG for steering but it died after three packs. The servo is said to have 208 oz of torque but it stripped a gear in a road car! What sucks is I bought three of these servos and plan on using the other two in the...
I started flying last year. I practiced with a simulator and micro cub, then moved to a larger T28 and Corsair. Now I'm flying an eflite Edge 540qq, it's smaller but man is it fun!
Tower just put it back on their site showing availability in early May. I really like this truck but $869.00 is not for from a 1/5 scale which comes with a lot more power!
Woodie I think your messing with me, that EDIT button wasn't there earlier!
Over the weekend I went through everything on the truck and was surprised to find that it is in better condition than I thought, a few minor fixes and it's ready to go. Cleaned up the diffs with new gears and shims...
The closest hobby shop is 50 miles one way, the good thing is that there are three of them within 10 minutes of each other. Two of them have very nice willing to help employees...I don't need them for their knowledge of rc's, as long as they can find the part I need I'm happy! One of them sells...
The truck showed up today and it was mostly what I expected, what I didn't expect and wasn't told is that the wheels hex's are rounded on two of the four wheels! The Mashers look new and I hope I can get them unglued without tearing them. It has massive wideners on it but one of them is bent...
Last weekend I was browsing through some FS ads and came across an old Savage 25 that was listed pretty cheap and I couldn't resist! I had plans of going as cheap as possible to get it running but the thought of buying a used nitro engine brought back bad memories. At this point I could have...
