    How do yall do wheelies?

    The stock tires don't help much either. Once you really get into the hop ups, you'll have a problem keeping the nose down. I did.

    Are you using the throttle trim to make the engine idle?

    TRAXXAS vs SAVAGE

    It'll fit and everything, but my friend did it and it is real hard on the drivetrain parts. It wasn't the new t-maxx, and I'm not sure what they have done to the new one, but it looks cool. It also made his real torky(I think that's a word) and threw the balance off a bit, but other than that...

    Trouble Turning

    There used to be a link on this site with the directions. That's how I did mine, and I can't even begin to explain it. They might still be hidden in here somewhere, but I can't find them right now. Someone will probably come across with them seeing this. You will want an extra crank too. I...

    Trouble Turning

    I did mine too. The instructions seem a little unclear at first, but when you get into it, it makes more sense. I got great results, and had a great time doing it, but I too was crazy nervous. The only downfall I noticed, was it cut my run times down a couple minutes or so. You should have...

    Trouble Turning

    That's a great idea, and the only thing missing from this site. Maybe we should try using the shout box more often. I know when I get on, until recently, I kind of ignore the shoutbox at first. I don't know all the details about it, but it seems like that is what it is for.

    Trouble Turning

    You started it lol. I think we can all agree, that this hobby involves alot of research and even more trial and error and what works for one guy, might be exactly what the next guy doesn't need. I think the best advece I have heard in any of my hobbies is "let the machine tell YOU what it...

    Trouble Turning

    I was lead to believe that he is only running on dirt. I probably should have mentioned that on hard surfaces, it's probably not a good idea. I run in soft dirt, and it helped out alot. I wasn't testing your experience sir. As with you, we are all just trying to help and our personal...

    Trouble Turning

    A rear locker will just push the front end around. It does it with anything four wheel drive.

    Trouble Turning

    That is why I told him to use that oppurtunity to reinforce the front diff. I do beg to differ with you on the tighter turning. I have first hand experience with locking the diff and it works fine.

    Trouble Turning

    Savageacre, the diff locks are only about 20 bucks. You probably should put some more money into it to reinforce it though. A wheelie bar is a good idea but won't help you in this situation. What I have noticed with my savage, is when you throw it into a coner and get right on the power, the...

    Trouble Turning

    Sounds like you are getting used to the savage sir. I know what you are talking about. When you want it to dig in, and snap through a turn, it just lifts the weight off the opposite front wheel and slows down what you think would happen. Spring combos help but it still happends, especially if...

    half tank lean

    Ok let's put it into easy terms. The savage like's fuel like a cold beer. When it's full it's happy. About half way down, it wants to just chug it down, and on to the next tank, or beer. lol. If it has a constant flow, it delays the chugging factor. Hope this helps...

    half tank lean

    Take what the guys at the hobbyshop say with a grain of salt. They will send you out the door chaising your tail in a heartbeat.

    half tank lean

    NO KIDDING. The Warhead comes with a header tank. DUUUUHHHHH. You can look at the warhead, and see the similarities to the savage. Maybe HPI leaves a little "hobby" in it, but nobody will make me believe that they never came across this problem while testing.

    half tank lean

    No offense Jrstorm, but to make a long story short. The header tank, or mid tank, supplies a constant supply of fuel to the carb allowing it to not have to pull fuel, it is just supplied with it no matter what is happening with pressure, and doesn't care if the fuel is sloshing in the main...

    Axial engines

    It sounds possible. They crossbreed everything from passenger cars, to garage door openers.

    Amazing, makes me jelous. That paint job is insane.

    Pull start?

    The one way bearing just went out on my savage. I really like the roto start. It can really make you lazy, especially when you are having starting problems. Is this a normal problem or a perfomance drag. Everybody else I see with a savage or any other monster truck for that matter, has a...
