    The Ressurection of a LEGEND....The Virginia Beach Beast Monster Tank (56K BEWARE!!!)

    yeah that sucks. Would love to see those pics. How much does it cost to have the bandwidth raised? I'm sure we could do a little hpisf members sponsorship to get those pics back up. I was just looking at how much it costs myself. Wow you used 10GB of bandwidth in a month. These pics are very...

    Where NOT to put your favorite hat

    Lol. you should know better then to put things in silly places like that. Even just on the ground is silly cause all you have to do is forget for a minute and walk off and it's gone. You should have also given the guy a hard time for driving to a house that is a block away, lazy bastard.

    A Must Have For a High Torque Steering Servo

    Awesome find dirty werk. I have the 5955tg servos in mine and the stock spring is way too weak. Are there any decent quality alloy servo savers for the savage out there? Not particular interested in the cheap integy soft alloy stuff.

    Used a DX3S.....Crashed my car...Pics

    There are 2 parts to the spektrum setup and honestly their quality control is not the best. My DX3.0 came with 2 dud receivers and so did my mates (so it very much looked like a transmitter problem but was not). My mates baja with his dx3r has range issues yet his other cars don't even with...

    CEN Diffs or Savage Flux Diffs

    My issue with the old diffs was always bearing related. The bearing on the ring side would always colapse without warning and this would cause instant death to the ring and pinion. To get the full benefit out of the flux diff you have to get the flux diff case for the bigger bearing on the ring...

    Terrible Big Bore luck :(

    Spare shock shafts are a must. Once they get a little bend in them from an impact from another car or a stick or anything else, the next big jump finishes them off like you say. Moral of the story is aways keep spares. At least they aren't too expensive.

    Battery WARNING with FLUX and MMM.

    Even name brands can be deceptive. What you will find though is that Enerland make the cells in most of the top quality packs and between the pack builders (flightpower, polyquest etc.) Those cells/packs all have identical ratings, size and weight.

    LRP motor

    Make sure you get the pull start version and not the truggy bump start version. That might be the difference with the savage version.

    Battery WARNING with FLUX and MMM.

    This is the important part. Honestly with these setups stock gearing can't be trusted. It really depends on the conditions you are driving in and how you drive as to what gearing you use. If you drive flat stick not stopping for a moment for a full pack you will probably find the weakest part in...

    Dog bones/CVDs and diff out drives are the bain of my existence

    What motor are you running? I'll definitely be giving the XL bones a go. I wonder if the oil is what makes the difference. Could you be a bit more specific about how and what you oil them with? I'm curious if oiling or greasing makes the difference to the wear. Or if my wear is just down to...

    I just dropped $1420 on a flux

    The centre dog bones do not suffer the same abuse as the outer ones. I don't understand why but they don't. It's the outers that suffer. My advice would be to give the stock diffs another go if they are cheap to fix but make sure they are shimmed perfectly. If that doesn't work go the cens. I...

    Dog bones/CVDs and diff out drives are the bain of my existence

    I have been using the FLM dog bones in my nitro savage for a long time. They tend not to snap like the stokers but I seem to be able to bend them way too easy. These CVDs have actually lasted longer then anything else I have tried but I am yet to try the XL dog bones. It a real shame these MIP...

    Dog bones/CVDs and diff out drives are the bain of my existence

    So no one has any brilliant ideas on why this always happens and how to fix it? I must admit this CVD looks a lot better then I was expecting it too.

    I just dropped $1420 on a flux

    That will be spastic on those packs. It is expensive getting into brushless but so worth it. I have to keep stopping my self from buying a flux. I already have one brushless savage I don't need another just yet anyway.

    Dog bones/CVDs and diff out drives are the bain of my existence

    Why do I always have so much trouble with these things. Every time I take my truck out I bend a CVD or in the case of my nitro I snap dog bones. Also I wear out the diff out drives at a crazy rate. What's going on? I have been really lucky with my brusless savage because I have been able to...

    Question for Flux owners

    I think it's around the 40mm mark. I'm not sure exactly though.

    for those with or looking to get rear eliminator hubs.

    http://www.hpieurope.com/search.php?search_text=Spare+Part+for+%2387245+Savage+Suspension+Conversion&submit_text=Search&lang=en That's the part list for the HPI conversion set. The shorter hinge pins are listed there. I'm tempted to buy the hinge pins and rear knuckles separately. It's probably...

    destroyed by a savvy

    Have you run one past a radar stock? I would be surprised if a stock one would do 40mph honestly. I have run a lot of different cars past a radar gun and the stock monsters always seem to be under or close to the 40mph mark. I'm pretty keen to run one of the Cen 7.7s past the radar gun actually...
