    Dude wheres my steering?

    Yet another day of fun bashing the savage and I'm starting to wonder... Did i blow another hitec 645 in my steering? No, I didn't, thank god. But I did notice something that I have never played with before, my "cam style" steering link. It was so "loose" that with no servo and me turning the...

    Hitec 645mg Broken

    Well I was out bashing and after about 4 tanks of fuel I got a bad kartwheel on a landing and after that my truck stopped turning left. I opened up the case of my servo and I found metal shavings and a chewed up center metal gear. Whats the best way to go about this? Does hitec replace broken...

    Rear Tie Rod Eliminators

    I do not remember exactly where I saw this but I cannot take credit for it as I was not the first to do this. However I thought I would post this as it may be a useful mod for anyone racing who wants to shed a little weight or stiffen up their rear end a little. Since I had plenty of spare parts...

    Compression?

    Well I had been running OS #8 plugs which are normal sized plugs in an engine that wants to run a long plug like an Mccoy 8. When I put the new plugs in will the compression change be noticable? Easier Starting? More Power? At all noticeable? thanks

    Good/Bad Fuel?

    Been noticing lately that my axial .28 and trx 3.3 take awhile to start, sometimes a minute or two of pulling, and sometimes not even starting at all. Plugs are good, no air leaks, getting fuel, ignitor fully charged, engine turning over. All seems to be good. Accept neither wants to start right...

    Snow Sliding Anyone?

    Took the savage out today because I got tired of staring at it. It was only 3 degrees F out so incredibly cold for the truck. Not going to break in the picco until spring when its actually decent out. This vid has the axial .28 in it. Oh, and no traction :)...

    TeeWX's Finished Mid Tank

    From what started as two parts orders, quickly grew to over ten. The more I worked on my savage and got rid of the old and moved to the new and improved, the more I wanted to turn this truck into a race ready machine. I have made a few other threads on here showing small parts of the build, but...

    Custom Wing Mount (lots of pics)

    Why do you want a wing for your savage? If you ask me.. the question is why Don't you want a wing? I can tell you from experience that you WILL feel a wing on the track or even in your backyard when you hit the throttle. You'll notice a much more stable truck on the top of the powerband and...

    Easy Hellfire Tank Mounting

    I decided to go with the hellfire tank for my mid tank build and after a few attempts at mounting it I decided that I did not want to use long screws to bolt it in place. the reason for this being is that it becomes a pain to remove the tank again once its screwed in. My alternative was to use...

    Dirt Shields

    Ever get done racing or bashing and have a mess of dirt all over your rear drive shafts? You can thank your front tires and 4WD for this. One of the things I had done on previous trucks is cut some lexan to put over the rear a arms. Lots of pros do this as well. It's a very simple mod that...

    Stiffen up your rear (stock)

    I am currently on an FLM extended low cog TVP Mid tank savage on stock suspension. One of the things I noticed is how the rear hubs are tied together, very similar to that of a maxx. The ball end is screwed into the rear bulkheads seperate from each other. However this leads to your rear hubs...

    Broken Bearing?

    Well for some time now I had been having troubles with an axial .28 spec 1s that was next to new (only 2 quarts in) and it had ceased on me once and I did not know why. I did a teardown of it to inspect it all and see what had been going on, since axial support had been telling me that it was...

    Savage Racer Setup

    I currently own a pretty well stock savage 21, aside from a 3 speed hpi transmission and an axial .28 powerplant. I also own a traxxas revo which is set up for racing mostly and it handles much better than the savage. I have aquired a taste for slammed down monster trucks with ming mounts and...
