I've had good luck with the integy rear tie rod eliminator.. basically a lockout. Would not have even tried it without the advice of some members here. All my other integy experiences have been negative, not just savage stuff either.
Gave up nitro when a local guy let me try his new flux hp at...
Agreed. Although the rtr x had the standard black and x ss came with shiny hd bones and cups. Had alot more luck with the shiny hd cups than the bones. It was nice when the shd stuff came out on the XL.
Funny story, i was using standard diff cups and bones on some XL axles on my rtr x and...
Imo stick with the bp diffs and go up on CB/pinion. When i went bl, the stock diffs went in 2 packs even after being shimmed.

I had almost the same ending to a conversation about turnigy lipos with one of the new employees at my lhs.
"You get what you pay for and come back after 10recharges to buy a real LiPo" Yeah ok kid its been over a year on this batch of lipos, stay in school and cut your hair.

Towards the end of '06 i went to my lhs looking for a new monster after my mini mgt snapped in half. An x was sitting on the 'broken' shelf in the back of the store, a customer ride. Basically it was a week old with a broken pin in the crank. Lhs owner contacted the customer and $250 later it...
I gotta say I'm lucky for the most part. The lhs close to my work has alot of what one would consider race parts (tires/wheels, bodies, paint, bug/trugg parts etc) but very little savage parts if any. Except for the interchangeable Hellfire parts.
Now the lhs by my work is basically the...
Trenchers on axial wheels. Awesome tires that seem to work just about everywhere. About the same weight or a tiny bit heavier than terrapins on stock wheels.
In the past I picked up some suitable drivers, caps, coils and resistors from partsexpress.com. Made up my own component set and passive 2way xo's with a zobel network. If my pant legs get blown around with minimal distortion, it was enough for me.
For subs, almost anything suitable for an ib...
Were they bp or nitro diffs? The only xl's with bp diffs are the xl+2.4ghz radio. Most ebay auctions don't specify this and the sellers don't even know the difference
Basically its your money :)
If you decide to go to xl, you will need... axles, bones, diff output cups, tvps, center to rear bone and 3spd. Might as well go bp diffs too, its a worthwhile upgrade
For sure. I've got deans on my 2s and 4s packs. In some cases the wire is a bit thick (8ga), I usually cut some strands off to fit it on the terminal. Haven't had an issue

Those are the 4s packs that fit inside the chassis behind tranny with kershaw dual motor mount.
But since this thread is about the 2s packs..

I can second the hk lipos. Had great luck with turnigy and zippy as long as you spring for the higher c packs. Recently picked up a couple 4s packs for my xl conversion for a hair under 90 bucks from the new usa warehouse. Prices can't be beat
