    What do you think of the Futaba 3PM 2.4 GHz?

    +1 on the 3PM, I think everyone covered it just right. If you have digital servos, you don't have to set it every time. Atleast I don't. You will love your savage and the radio. I know I do.

    Thanks all. I did paint it myself. Used a paint mask from my LHS as well as 2 cans of paint. Some of the lines got messed up from bleed, but thats why you don't see a real close up shot ;-) Rob

Following the Squirrels break in guide(no arguments on this method please) with a mixture of HPI, I was able...

    Today was the day!

    Thanks for the tips on the zip tie. I don't intend on doing this for the whole time, just did it today while making sure I had the idle good so it didnt die. The clutch shoes. I didnt have too much of an issue installing them. The photos seemed a little off at first. But once I figured...
