Hello everyone!
This is my first post, but I've been reading these forums for a while now. I think I read them a while back too when I had my .25 RTR. Awesome community here with TONS of info!
Anyways, I just recently sold my .25 RTR to a friend of mine and I'll be picking up my new kit this friday!
In the end I'm looking to have a savage that has good handling, but at the same time able to take some decent jumps as well. It will be used for bashing, not interested in racing it.
So I'm looking to you guys for some suggestions and build tips (for someone who's never built a kit from the ground up before).
Radio Gear: I'll be using my Jr xr3i and the matching reciever; worked good on the old Savage, so I figured no need for a new one. I've read other posts for which servos the community recommends, however I'm up in the air as far as analog or digital, are digital servos unnecessary for bashing?
Suspension: I think I want to stick with the stockers for now, cheap to replace and they work fine, I'd like some suggestions for oil weight and spring stiffness for good handling and decent jumping. Should I be looking at dual rate or tri rate springs?
I've got some 7000 wt and 5000 wt for the diffs, and I'll probably try out that ofna linkage setup you all seem to like, I also plan on picking up the dual disc fiberglass breaks.
Anything else you guys recommend? Thanks!
