Hey all,
I finally got time to work on the "roller" that I got off of ebay a couple of months ago and I actually have it running fairly consistantly. I swapped out the radio box to the x radio box and switched to the x tvps.
On to the problem(s):
It idles well and it runs like a crackhead...
The plan
Yeah, I am happy it is resolved. They are giving me $75 back, which should cover a decent portion of the repairs/upgrades.
My plan is to seal up the engine first and see what that does. I also looked at the schematic of the engine, and it appears that their is washer missing between...
Hey all,
Will the X arms and skid plate fit on a pre-X SS? The ones on my truck are pretty hammered and I need a quick, cheap replacement.
Thanks,

Like I said, I opened a case with Paypal last...

Hey all,
I have been away from R/C for about 10+ years. I thought I got a really good deal on a Savage X SS 4.6 with an Axial 28 engine off ebay ($190). However, the truck got here a couple of days ago and it is in pretty rough shape. The wife saw it and commented that it looks like it has...
