    breaking in D30M

    My STS 30 took exactly one gallon to break in. Have you checked to see if the mechanical pinch is gone? To do this, you remove the glow plug. If you can rotate the engine by hand with the glow plug removed - NO resistance felt at Top Dead Center - the engine is fully broken in. My engine...

    Well, well, well ... looks like the newb has to step up. I have a pair of the FLM Hybrid bulkheads in my SAVAGE. I started my build with an XSS kit. When I took the HPI easy access bulkheads apart to get the diffs out, I discovered that one of the HPI alloy diff cups was cracked in 4 places -...

    I live near Eagle Rock Reservation. That is a perfect place for a memorial & they did it right. It's pretty impressive. The location is good because there is a great view of the city from there & lots of folks use the park there. There is also a very popular restaurant up there - The High Lawn...

    In Totowa, NJ, I deal with CRISPY CRITTERS. Great place, owned for years & years by guys that are into R/C. They can get anything I want. Good prices, too. Online, I've dealt with Tower Hobbies & Ultimate Hobbies. Both have been really good - no complaints at all.

    LMFAO - oohhh, man ... I didn't run my own SAVAGE over, HAHAHA! Here's what happened ... the battery plug didn't fit tightly with the plug on the on/off switch. The vibrations caused by the engine just made things worse - High speed -> high vibration -> no battery power to receiver -> no...
