    My ongoing XS build thread

    I am going to start a thread and update with my build as I break and put new parts in my Savage XS. After several bashing sessions my esc fan kept shorting out and leaving the battery on all the time and my motor kept over heating. I did a lot of research and decided to get the Mamba Max Pro...

    Savage XS videos

    That sounds about right. I tore mine apart the other day and replaced all my axles and cups with HD. I have never looked at the thing apart before and managed to take it apart and reassemble with no instructions in about 2.5 hours total.

    SOLD / FOUND FS:HPI SAVAGE XS FLUX RAPTOR - CUSTOM HD

    Damn dude, I wish you the best on selling this thing. It is a sweet truck and a great price. I have showed a few of my local friends here but they don't have the cash on hand. I am going to the LHS soon and will let guys know about it.

    Should have listened!!! ;)

    I run the crap out of mine for about 30 mins on an 8000mah 40c battery with no fan and it barely gets warm. It should be fine in the pede.

    I would think it would be ok. I'm new myself but if I'm not mistaken, the higher kv the higher top speed, the lower kv, the more punch or torque you get. This motor comes with a fan too, but i don't use it yet. I'm in the middle of replacing my cup joints and acles with hd parts.

    Ill get tou a link when i get more time. I'm at work. I know several ppl opt for the sidewinder esc with the 3800kv motor. The sidewinder esc is water resistant and cheaper.

    I love that it is small and it is pretty beastly for such a little truck. I have a blast with it. What did you get? 1/8?

    Upgrades will come later, just replaced the stock stuff and am going back to 2S batteries for now. Hopefully I wont break too much that way. I just need to stay away from jumps, and dirt, and gravel, and.....well everything haha.

    Should have listened!!! ;)

    I should have listened to the guys saying that 3s will cost money lol. I upgraded to a MMP and 3800kv motor and decided I wanted to test out 3s in it once I got it running well. After about 10 standing backflips in fairly rapid succession, the front wheels wouldn't move or steer. Turns out I...

    Show off your Savage XS!

    The esc still works there is just a short in the fan causing it to stay on and the first fan burnt up.

    Mamba X or Mamba 2?

    I just ordered an MMP with a 3800kv for my XS. I'm sure you want the bigger one for a bigger truck, but still a Mamba if you want some first hand perspective of the product line.
