    Today I discovered that my second vapor pro esc has also failed. The first one (came with the savage xs) smoked due to bad thermal contact between the mosfets and the heatsink. There was over half milimeter of resin in between. The second one has just stopped working. Leds blink correctly when...

    Reversing slightly wonky?

    My Savage is always reversing wonky. I've trimmed the steering so it goes almost straight forwards (subject to, errr, user error), but on reversing it always steers to one side (right, looking forwards along the car). The rear wheels are slightly toed in (and thus toed OUT as the car reverses)...

    Running on 3s for Bashing. Whats the best gear setup for it?

    Running my Savage XS for Bashing in dirt, grass and street. I don't care for maximum top speeds and care more to keep the engine and ESC running at decent temps. With that being said, is the recommended HPI parts for 3S the best route to go or should I change it up? Should I stay with the...

    Slipper clutch

    Hi all, I have had my XS for about a month now and so far it has been pretty trouble free. However, lately I am having a lot of trouble with the slipper clutch. I have run it with a 1/4 turn backed off, fully "tightened," and even have tried loctite. Once I tear it apart and put it back...
