    No more Nitro

    Didn't quite know the best place to put this. So here goes. I haven't been posting much lately, cuz I haven't been running my Savy. My two year old son has been diagnosed with Restrictive Airway Disease, which is basically the toddlers version of asthma. Certain things cause his airway to...

    My rant

    Okay, so I started out as an electric guy. I've been running RC10's that I've been building using parts off e-bay. I started getting slightly interested in Traxxas electrics until I bought a used Rustler (not VXL) off e-bay. It was slow as molasses. So I quickly resold my purchase. Then my...

    New disk brakes

    I just installed a new set of stainless steel dual disk brakes, but the truck isn't ready to run yet. My question is will these breaks drag a little before settling in (are they supposed to?)? I can roll it on the floor and tell that there is resistance. If it's not supposed to do that does...

    What's with the zip-ties?

    Lately I've noticed in some pics that people have zip-ties on the top of their cooling heads. It's peaked my interest, what purpose does this serve?

    Losi Mega Baja/Aftershock wheels/tires

    Would I have any problems mounting these on a Savage 25 with 14mm hubs? I've always liked this set up since I first saw the Mega Baja sitting on the shelf at the LHS. Anyone see any problems with them fitting/rubbing?

    Hotbodies Pipe or Hpi Pipe?

    Does anyone have any comparisons on the two? I like the fact that the Hotbodies one doesn't have the silicone coupler (I have a Vantage pipe with the coupler rigged to it but it keeps popping off). But any opinions on which is better? Hotbodies...

    $80 burning hole in pocket...

    Gonna be ordering some parts from Tower. If you had just a basic "used" Savage and $80 burning a hole in your pocket, what would you buy? I need to pick up some extra spurs, but other than that how would you suggest the best "bang for the buck"? This is kind of a dumb post, but I'm bored...

    Just 4 Red Coils

    Has anyone run just 4 red coils (1 per corner)? I was bored last night and I had to refill some shocks anyway, so I got to messing around and did a single red coil on each corner just to see what it would do. What I got was a slammed almost truggy-like stance. But it appears to me if I were...

    Engine too powerful for spur?

    I've got a Savage with the 4.6 HO and plastic 49T spurs. I ate the teeth on my first spur. So I made sure I shimmed my second spur right (3-fold paper trick) but I notice that I'm gradually eating up the teeth on this one too. Could the HO motor just be too much for the plastic spur? Does...

    Losi Mega Baja

    Anyone have one? What do you like/dislike about them? (Any time I ask someone about them I get the reply: Save up the extra $250 and just get the LST2) Keep in mind, I asked "anyone have the Mega Baja?". I already know plenty about the LST2, haha. Thanks guys

    Where'd 2nd go???

    Hey, guys. I recently changed my spur gear due to... well, my cb ate it. I also switched from a 18/49 combo to a 15/49 combo. Before I changed the truck was hitting 2nd gear fine. However, I learned from a fellow RC guy that I was being sold the wrong glow plugs (os instead of MC, they were...

    Vantage pipe, had to modify, will it still work?

    New member here. My friend who runs a local track out here is helping me get into nitro. He helped me purchase a used Savage (as far as I can tell, it's an SS) for $200. We put in a 4.6 out of a hellfire and pretty much rebuilt it just to make sure everything worked right. It came with the...

    Can you wiggle your header?

    I've had problems with getting my motor tuned in only to find that the header was loose (at the motor). My LHS didn't have a new one in stock but suggested I get some copper permatex (same kind you use in the Sealing Your Engine sticky) and use that. So I used it between the gasket and the...

    Spur gear... what did I do wrong?

    Hey, guys new member here. I've got a used Savage SS that I put a 4.6 (out of a Hellfire) into. Long story short, it took me awhile to get this thing running (cracked the motor plate after it wheelied with the body off while tuning... fixed... found out it had the wrong glow plug in it, OS...
