    shock towers bending

    I have an XSS with the plastic X towers, LST shocks and Fast Lane Machine Hybrid bulkheads. The X Towers will fit all of the HPI Savage trucks, but they will still eventually bend. Mine have. My truck is mid-tanked, so I'm not busting fuel tanks, but the towers are certainly bending. I did...

    Short, indoor jump vid

    HA! ok ok - I'm just really looking forward to giving the engine a try. It's sitting here in it's box ... next to the 0702 ... just waiting ... Breaking it in just seems like a complete PITA. I'm also a newb, so I'm still working the kinks out if the rest of the truck...

    Short, indoor jump vid

    Yep - the engine was dead COLD. At the beginning of the vid I'm running a few laps around the garage to try & get some heat into the engine. Just testing things out. Once I get the transmissions' shift points sorted out, ya'all can count on 3rd gear jumps! In anticipation of things to come...

    Short, indoor jump vid

    In some other vid thread I posted, somebody asked about moving the camera to the rear & doing a few jumps. Well, I moved the camera to the rear shock tower/body mount. I also put together a small ramp. Now, keep in mind that I am a newb ... and that this is indoors ... I'll get braver - and...

    New Camera Mount Test

    My camera is a Panasonic DMC-FX01. It's a year or so old. I think it's been discontinued by Panasonic. The previous mount was a piece of right angle steel - "L" shaped, in other words. The camera was screwed to the "L" via its tripod mount. The other leg of the "L" was just screwed to the...

    New Camera Mount Test

    I put together a better camera mount. Here's the first test ... nothing fancy. My engine was runnig like crap-ola. After I made this vid & shut the engine off, it would not restart. I pulled the glow plug ... it was toast. I've replaced it & it's running fine now, so next time out I'll try to...

    My Mid-Tanked XSS

    Soooooo ... who thinks it still looks COOL? "Mr. Savage, meet Mr. Flowmaster" LMFAO!! My radio (Futaba 3PK) quit responding. After this crash, I traced it to a loose battery plug #%$@!! The suspension is actually all fixed now. I'm waiting on some...

    Wanna Ride?

    Ok - here's one from the driver's seat ... outdoors in my "test" alleyway. FYI, this is obviously not full-throttle. Full throttle passes make my camera black out, hahaha. I need to figure a better way to mount the camera ... I'm working on it ... MOM! Billy Won't Stop Touching ME!

    Alleyway Test-n-Tune Session

    Here's another vid. This one was taken as part of the test & tune process. This vid is what prompted me to add HPI's wheelie bar to the truck. It's in place now, but I hadn't installed it when these vids were recorded. I'm still not sure if the engine/three speed tune is 100% correct yet...

    My Mid-Tanked XSS

    The radio/battery box is from a CEN Talon NX. The CEN part number is FF007. I tracked it down on eBay ... cheeeeeep! Those are LOSI "AFTERSHOCK" shocks. Size-wise, they are all the same. The difference is in the materials used in manufacture. Mine are black plastic. Other LOSI shocks are...

    My Mid-Tanked XSS

    Newb here. Thanks to one of the pukes I work with, I'm hooked again & getting back into R/C. I decided that a SAVAGE XSS was a good place to start. Here's what I wound up with: Front Suspension ... A little closer ... Rear Suspension ... This truck is Mid-Tanked. I...
