Anyone here using an 'old' 27/40/75mhz system they've upgraded to 2.4Ghz using modules?
how do they perform? same as just getting a dedicated 2.4Ghz system?
I should know by now ... I really should have learned my lesson but no, some days I just cave in and click that damn link in my firefox bookmarks ...
I should delete the link and forget it even exists ... I even went for hypnotherapy to remove any notion that it is a "real thing" from the...
... work on my steering do you think?
Comparing it to the HiTec horn that is supplied with the Savage kits it looks a little 'thin' ... it is alu tho ...
I think it was lucky that my pull start died today ...

I dread to think what could have happened ...
SO, a new lesson today young padwan!
(yoda on ...)
Break something always you will, but knowing what you wont break only the force...
Hey All,
This is one crucial part of my truck that I haven't spent anywhere near enough time on so far. Basically I have such crap breaking at the moment that its frankly a bit dangerous now that my truck is getting faster with the breaking in of the engine.
I've tried adjusting the plastic...
Hey All,
Some of you know that at the start I didn't have much luck with my Savvy. Every time (and I mean every time) I took it out something major went wrong. Stuff like both my diffs collapsing to the carb ejecting itself from the engine to wheels coming off and loosing the pins to my...
Hey All,
After having used the stock HPI stuff for a while now I really have come to the conclusion that I hate it!! urgh! I've also deceided that I definitely want to upgrade to a 2.4Ghz system. I'm also pining after sticks again, the wheel systems are OK but I think I wanna go back to...
Hey All,
Does anyone else think that the placement of the servo reverse switches are a bit daft on the standard HPI Transmitters? Whilst out at the weekend I accidentally switched the throttle/break servo twice. No damage done and wotnot but my Kyosho transmitter has them hidden aware flush...
Hey All,
I can't find the old threads relating to this at the moment. Anyone have any links?
How do you guys deal with this? I noticed it on my truck last weekend, nothing major but nearing the end of a tank of fuel there is less and less blue smoke coming from the exhaust ...
Hey All,
I'm just writing up my upgrades and have just finished the review on this. you can read it here!

Hey all,
just got back from a 2 hour run with the truck ... awesome!!
Only had one problem which wasn't a show stopper! The rear left hand wheel came off TWICE! Really odd ... and I also noticed that the thread available on this wheel isn't as much as the others ...
This means that I lost...
Hey All,
Anyone using one of these? My bro bought it for me for xmas ... i've only run the truck with it installed once and I ended up taking it off as it kept cutting in and stopping the truck. That time I put it down to my hump pack losing power as I hadn't charged it properly or something...
Hey all,
Whoever it was that told me to upgrade this ... THANK YOU!
What a difference, its about 1000% better than the savvy 3.5 radio box ... just installed some nice IRC bearings in the servo saver set up too.
nice ...
Well, I think i'm going for the record number of posts in one day today.
I'm just installing my new 645MG servo and wondered which horn supplied with the servo had you used?
any other tips would be great too.
AHHHH!
Hey all,
i'm just insalling the new hitec servo and savage X radio box to my 3.5 ...
however I did too good a job when I rebuilt it last time and now I can't get the steering posts off the aluminium plate ... haha!
whats a good remedy for having used too much loktite?
soak it all in...
Need a quick pointer! I'm installing mine at the moment ...
How did you guys deal with the bleed nipple?
I'm going to do the usual thing of filling the shock with oil blah blah ... but once you've got the cap back on the shock body did you just keep on filling it through the nipple to fill up...
Oh man! Upgrade heaven!!
Tonight I have the following to play with ... I'm adding these to my Savage 3.5
1. Savage X Radio Box
2. HiTec 645MG Steering servo
3. Upgraded Steering Bearings
4. IRC Shocks and mounting kit (Losi oil - 35wt front / 50wt rear)
5. Fastrax Center Skid Plate!
All in...
Adjustable Upper Arms.
Hey peeps,
Just had an email saying that my IRC shocks and conversion kit should be here by the weekend! get in!
Anyway, I was wondering if it makes sense for me to get some adjustable upper arms now that i'm going for different shock setups and wotnot ...
I...
