cheers Savageextreme that sounds like a good idea. I'm over here in Australia but I'm sure they would still be able to help me in one way or another.
The funny thing I sold this XL to my friend all brand new and said its time for him to hang up those cheap RC's he plays with and play with a real...
Thanx for the reply Ghost, we pulled the transmission right apart again and had a good look but everything seems to be just fine. The only thing I can think of was a bit of the old gear was left in the transmission causing this new gear to tear apart again but my friend assures me it was...
Hey guys
I have a brand new Savage XL with the 3 speed transmission and an SH28 engine, and as I was driving the car around on its 3rd tank of fuel and it hadn't even shifted out of 1st gear and the car just rolled to a stop and wouldn't accelerate. After a quick inspection we had found that...
I bought a roller XL and the hobby store fello has told me to get a stock futaba throttle servo as other brands / models may not fit the horn type throttle / brake combo unit .... thing lol
Does anyone know what model Futaba is the stock throttle servo?
Thanx guys
You guys are a wealth of information! Cant thank yous enough.
I understand the servo list alot better now ...
EX: S148 44 57 .23 sec. .19 sec. $13.99
First part of coarse if the model of it, second number is the in-oz @ 4.8 volts, second number is @ 6 volts, and the times are the same voltage...
Hey guys, sorry to jump off topic .... but what would be a good servo choice for the XL?
I seen that sticky for servo lists ... but its a little over my head. I understand all the speeds and stuff, but I have no idea whats racing / back yard basher choice.
I'm guessing you need a higher power...
wow it sure would be nice to have an *edit* option on my posts so I don't have to keep writing a new post every time I think of something ...
I think I had a JR radio that use to look identical to this one ... was a nice radio too.
Would this one be ok?

I don't need to buy the top end model one for it to be ok right?
Looking for a radio for my XL, I will never race, just bash it on my land. You guys heard of this brand? Think it would be ok for how il be using it?
Not really looking to spend $300 + on a radio, just want something simple and effective.
If you have any you think would be better please...
lol damn, I'm bad at jumping the gun just ordered a 17 ... ok il order a 16 aswell and have a spare haha, and yes the one I got was the vented HPI one :)
Hey everyone,
I just bought a roller XL and will probably be putting an SH.28 (or similar) in it and I would like to know what size bell I should run for home / yard bashing?
I don't want to do 50mph nor do I want it to flip on its roof every time I gas it ... lol
I'm not sure what size...
Well I was looking at this engine ...

I had a Savage before with what I think was either an STS or SH.28? Ports? Unknown, but for this old guy it was...
As much as I would like one of those LRP's or a picco or something ... I'm not sure if I need that kind of power / money spent.
I was looking at the STS D28M ... what do you guys think about that? Not sure if eBay links are allowed here but I'm sure you guys know which one. There only like $100...
