    Stupid questions, I know.

    Ok, I have 2 stupid questions. First, what is the fastest you think you can get a Savage?(TOP SPEED) I know they aren't made to fly, and I have a TC3that flys so I am just looking for something different that flys.. Second, how light do you think you can get a savage down to? (keeping in mind...

    What about a MM5700 in a HPI RS4 MT?

    I just picked up a electric RS4 MT RTR used on Ebay. I also found the HPI accessories 2 speed for the transmission on ebay and was thinking about buying that. I am not to hip on brushless systems ( I know NOTHING) but what do you all think about a brushless 2 speed MT? I am going for speed more...

    Something really went wrong...

    I bought a http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=001194618&I=LXFFK0&P=K a long time ago now and only have like 3 tanks on it. I have no abnormal wear that I can see, but is that going to happen to me? I mean I bought it as a kit and I'm using both pieces, so would the CB be hard...

    Operation... Rebuild BETTER!

    Ok, for those of you that haven't read about it already, I am returning to the Savage forum because I am finally going to be able to "play" with my truck. The truck in question is a original Savage SS. I am completely rebuilding it and figured I'd show people how and what I'm doing. All I can...

    What about a 1/2 inch wider?

    There will be spacers everywhere the tvps touch something... the motor plate, the bulkheads, the transmission, even the linkage pivot.

    What about a 1/2 inch wider?

    No, I'm widening the plates only, not the arms or anything else.

    What about a 1/2 inch wider?

    Ok, a quick mock up with just the transmission on the FLM tvps. http://pictures.aol.com/galleries/silver2004gagt I tried to post the pics using the image button and put the URL in and it wouldnt work. Sorry. That is 3 3/8 inch in between the TVPs.

    What about a 1/2 inch wider?

    I actually thought of that, last night when I was in limbo (half asleep/ half awake) drilling the treads out because of what you said about it being to tight or loose. Dual tank- single engine. I had bought one of these http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVSEARCH=dtxc7805 a long time...

    What about a 1/2 inch wider?

    I was looking at my dual tank mock up and was thinking that if the TVP's were about 3/8 to 1/2 inch wider apart it would be like a glove. So, I went to the Ace by my house and looked through all the hardware and found them, little circular aluminum 1/4 inch wide spacers that are threaded either...

    Gutted Lower Arms, Questions?

    I shave and "gut" the control arms on my Traxxas Stampede (electric). I have run pack after pack ( about 50+) and the arms haven't broke yet. I have bent shock shafts and broke the chassis on backflips and landing hard, and other opps...(Missed a driveway enterance and hit a curb at full speed...

    posible suspect?

    A long long time ago I heard that noise you described, and it was the clutch shoes bouncing off the clutch bell as if engaging but not grabbing the bell. I replaced my shoes and springs and the noise stopped for me. May be what your noise is, may not, something to look at though.

    Finned motor mounts??

    Ok, I put this here because it has something to do with engines. How much of a benefit is there to running a finned motor mount? Is it in the 10* cooler zone or what, more or less? Is there any proof on this because I'll get one if it is going to do a job but I don't want to get it for the...

    Ok, I am ordering from Tower...

    I have been out of the Savage game for a long time, actually over 3 years. I have a Savage SS (circa 2004). I just got time to mess with this thing. I want to build this thing the way it should have been, but not nessecrially as extreme as some of you all. Mainly it will be bashing, but where...

    Would this be a great combo or what??
