    Nitro fuel UK

    Right then people, my local hobby store only sells “model technics” fuel and that duraglow blend I think it is. As it’s all that they do that’s what I had been using for a couple of years in my 2 sav’s and seems to run fine no issues. Just got a new buggy and thought I would maybe look into the...

    Axial 32 engine, pull start or rota start needed

    Trying to source either a rota start or new pull start for a axial 32 engine. Flicking through other forums somebody said that a 4.6 pull start should fit right on, but it doesn’t as I had a rota start for one and it doesn’t push up tight into the engine. Just wondered if anybody could shed...

    My Savage flux conversion

    I am finally happy with how my savage has turned out. Its taken many months, more money than I'd like to admit... And the classic, blood, sweat and tears! It started its days as a savage xl 5.9 with an LRP 32 spec.4 as its lungs. It was a great setup and I enjoyed it for a while. I found a...

    MIP CVD worth the upgrade?

    I’m wondering if MIP CVDs are worth the upgrade? I’ve never had a problem with the stock drivetrain but am curious if the CVDs are really that much better than dog-bones? #1541 Also, does anyone have XL driveshafts and diff outdrives they may be willing to sell? I have the extended hubs but I...

    Bigfoot’ish XL with a few fun toys

    Had a Savage XL collecting dust in bits. Rebuilt and tweaked (TKO ceramics front and rear, knife edged rod, porter liner and case) the K5.9 before it inevitably self destructs (absolutely rubbish motor) plus a JP4 hard anno’d pipe, and stuffed a F150 Supercab on top. Looking for the...

    FLM TVP's for flux conversion

    I have found a seller on ebay selling the FLM TVPs and its quite tempting to get as my next "major" upgrade for my flux conversion. Does anyone know if there are pre-made mounting locations for battery boxes? When I did my conversion I had to find a way to mount them myself on the standard XL...

    Steering linkage adjustment

    Hi All, I've replaced the steering linkages (I think thats what their called) with the aluminium linkages from the rear - I broke the plastic ones after a fail of a jump. I've ordered some aluminium carriers for the rear so I don't have to worry about the adjustments any more. They were pretty...

    Servo saver linkage lost!!

    So I’m new. My apologies if this is a dumb/easy to answer question but; I bought abs installed a new integy servo saver a while ago and I guess I should have used a bit more locktight as the bolt holding the steering linkage to the SS fell out. Me, my wife, and 4 boys looked for almost as hour...
