Back after a few years... Rebuild

[SavagePower]

i've not been involved in much rc stuff for the past few years because our rc group sort of disappeared lol. But I've been bashing myself in parking lots and stuff like that.

I have a Traxxas Mini Summit 540, Ofna Hyper 7, Losi Mini LST, Savage Flux and I also have a Savage flux roller.

Basically I had a nitro savage x then started conversion to flux, the only thing that's preventing completion is a 1/8th power system. Then I found an used savage flux and the converted flux has been sitting there for a while as a roller.

Anyways, I used to struggle tuning nitro but now has fully understand it that I'm able to tune and do everything myself. it's interesting with rc hobby that after many years that you look back at first year in the hobby how much you have learned.

I'm planning on converting the flux roller back to nitro since I have most of the nitro parts, I know that I can buy an used savage x for,probably cheaper but I like the process.

I find modifying, fixing rc cars just as fun as driving it, anyone else like that? I don't drive my rc cars often because of limited space and place, but I like building them and just putting them in the shelve as a complete drivable car and maybe bash with them once a while.

I am the same way, maybe thats why I have over 40 assorted R/C vehicles and shelving in my cave to store them all for my pleasure 😀

Welcome back to the addiction! Working on the RCs has always been as much fun as driving them.

I agree, working and building them is rewarding. just be careful not to get too many. I sold my whole collection and kept just the savages and savage parts.. Its much less expensive to run just one truck than many different ones.

Welcome back! Personally I find wrenching as rewarding as driving them!

There's an ebb and flow to wrenching vs driving. What I hate is having to wrench because of some issue that can't be properly fixed either by an upgrade or some other means. I like getting all my trucks so stout that I can run them hard for a weekend without doing anything but recharging my receiver packs, transmitter and glow heaters. Then in the winter, I'll do the heavy maintenance like replacing diffs and whatnot. But in the summer, I don't care for wrenching as I don't have time to do both wrenching and bashing. Nothing worse for me with my RC's than getting 20 minutes into a Saturday bash session to have something blow apart and wreck the whole weekend.
