    Replacement Servo's

    I've been told that the radio's that come with the ALL RTR trucks be it Savage ,Traxxas, ect are not very good, or maybe a better way to put it is, I guess there are better radio systems to be had. I don't race my X nor do I run it "hard", I run it fast, but I don't jump it , I try not to run...

    Why I think the SS kit is best for beginners

    Now bear with me, there's a reason for this maddness. I'm fairly new to Nitro RC, and as many of you must know by now, I've had my problems. But I remember back in the mid 1980's Tamya had some real popular electric RC buggies, and they were in kit form, you had to build them, Yep every gear bolt...

    No compressor, no problem

    A compressor can be an expensive item but there is a good, and cheeper alturnative when it comes to cleanning your car or truck. When my X gets really dirty I spray it down with denatured alcahal (sorry for the spelling). I wait a few minutes then I get the trusty electric leaf blower, put it on...

    Changed fuel brand, is this normal?

    I have been useing Traxxas Top Fuel 20% since I got my truck and car, but I ran out and the LHS was out of Top Fuel. The hobby guy told me that Trinity Monster 20% was pretty close to Traxxas 20%. I used it for the first time last evenning, and the X always ran around 240/245 with the Top Fuel...

    I bought my Savage X two years ago, I ran it the first year but I did'nt run it at all last year. I cleaned and oiled the air cleaner, and changed all the batteries. Should I take the truck apart and clean and lube the diffs, and tranny, or should i run it first, I've never taken the truck...
