    Stiffer springs for big bores?

    I got my aluminum big bores used. I don't know if the springs are just well worn in or the weight of the DB17 conversion kit is just too much for them, but they seem pretty saggy. It seems like the truck will bottom out too easily even with two spacers on each shock. Are there longer /...

    Ofna LX1e Question

    This is probably a long shot, but if anybody here has an Ofna LX1e, I'm hoping you can help me out. I've got a ravager roller on the way that I want to convert to brushless. RCmonster sells a conversion kit that will work, but it's $50 and includes a servo tray that I can't use. I'm...

    BL Build From Scratch - What's the Best Donor?

    I'm looking to build a BL savage from the ground up using the FLM extended LCG kit and extended arms. I intend to use mostly aftermarket parts, but I still need a donor roller for some of the smaller bits, and for temporary filler parts. There have been several versions of the savage, and I'm...
