    Duratrax Ice charger & LiPos question.

    I bought a DuraTrax IntelliPeak ICE DC Competition Charger a couple of months ago for my NiMH batteries and have been pretty happy with it. But converting to electric and LiPos, I am beginning to see some shortcomings with this charger. For one, it doesn't balance. I would love to have the...

    Seeking help with gearing and battery...

    I have a 2-month old Savage XL Nitro..... sort of. Currently I am running Innovative-RC LCG Extended 6mm front, 1" rear TVPs, center tank mod from IRC, Axial 40-Series Beadlocks, and Proline 3.8 Trenchers, Boca ceramics, etc. I am making the switch to the Tekin 1/8 RX8 Brushless System with...

    LRP Z28 won't idle long...

    I am using a 250cc Ofna tank with an IRC mid-tank kit, an LRP Z28 and an Ofna 086 pipe. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out why the engine dies after idling for 30 - 45 seconds even after running for a while and being at operating temp. I noticed that the temp would climb slowly at idle...

    Looking for size of Axial Beadlock ring bolts

    I have a set of Axial 40-series beadlocks and only had one spare bolt for the rings. I used it Sunday after glancing off of my neighbor's fence and bending the head of one. I am not home at the moment and want to place a fastener order this morning. But, I am not sure if the socket head cap...

    Looking for help with 17mm wheel nut conversion

    I have decided to stay with the factory XL dogbones for the drive shafts instead of converting to a CVD. But I still have a burning desire to get rid of the cheesy little flanged locknuts that are standard on the Savage trucks. I have already purchased a set of Ofna 17mm Wheel Hub Adapters...

    Anyone have experience with Innovative-RC?

    I am becoming a bit concerned over an order that I placed last Friday. I was unable to get the PayPal link to function properly because he has no text field for the state in which you live. So, PayPal would fail when passing the order info indicating an invalid address was provided. So, really...

    Need help choosing a Picco, please....

    I am fed up with this 5.9. I can't keep the POS running long enough to even do a decent break-in, much less a tune. So, I am going to order a Picco but don't know which one. I am looking at these 2: Ofna .28 Picco JL Team Turbo and the Ofna .28 Picco w/Pull Start It looks like the Team Turbo...

    Difficulty with engine temp/break-in.

    I took my 5.9 XL out this morning for its initial break-in. The temp outside was about 43*F and overcast. The first 1/2 tank was HPI 30% Nitro before switching to Byron's 30% Nitro. The mill would not idle worth a crap regardless of what I tweaked. If I idled it up a lot, I could keep it running...

    In the market for a DX3S???

    I wanted to upgrade the radio on my XL so that I could put the HPI 2.4 on my son's Savage X and do away with his AM stuff. So after searching around, I stumbled on a site that has the best price I could find anywhere. Most everyone lists them for $249 and up, but I scored one for $205. They are...

    Question about HPI Glow Igniter

    I searched around, but could not find an answer to what I am afraid may be a senseless question. Long story short, I am new to Nitro, just ordered 2 trucks for me and my son, a Savage X and XL, and assorted parts are beginning to roll in. One being the HPI Glow Plug Igniter with battery meter...

    Aftermarket component manufacturers to avoid?

    I am going to replace many of my suspension components with aluminum parts, but don't want to fall victim to false economy by trying to save money and end up buying sub-standard parts that I will have to replace over and over. I have been perusing the online vendors putting together a list and...
