OK guys, you are going to help us pick a new moderator and a couple product testers. The mod can't be a tester. Site jester, Lifter and Sami. Are doing tests. The product testers need to be just members. Give us some names on who you think will be a good candidate for these positions. Product testers will be delayed until the latest reviews are in. I still have a stack of products from HPI for some people to test. I will say 3 testers and 1 mod.
 
what exactly does a moderator do? if i lived in the states i would volunteer to test products no problem!! think it would be interesting and alot of fun but i think someone even more knowledgebale then me might be better lol

product knowledge isn't a main concern for the simple fact that there is a difficulty level with some products and to have a Savage owner with less experience try a product can give a lot of in site to new owners on how hard a product is to install and how much abuse it can take with a newer driver. As for mods they get rid of spammers and move threads around to where they belong on the forum.
 
Guys I have sent items to England and Canada. It's not a big deal. I just have to watch shipping costs or I will have to deal with my wife.
 
to bad there isn't more room for more testers, it sounds like a great job!
 
crash,ds and i can think of more,its going to be hard to pick one,i like to be a tester sounds cool
 
I won't vote for myself but I wouldn't mind doing either.

I would have to say crash, mondodragon, and many others......
 
I Was Actually Thinking About Mentioning U Hpi_savage25 As U Race And Bash So I Think U Would Have A Lot Of Opportunities To Test Products And U Have A Fair Knowledge Of Nitro As Well!!

I would love to be able to test products. Like you said I race and bash and when you do both its hard to have a racer AND a basher. But I will have to wait and see just like the rest of us.
 
I nominate crash as a mod. I myself, I wouldn't mind being a tester. There are alot of construction sites where I'm at and I put some abuse in on my truck. And, I'm somewhat of a newby, but quickly learning. I've already lost track of the number of times I've had to tear my truck apart and fix something. Or, upgrade it.
 
there is plenty of room for testers i just gotta get some back before i send out more.
 
i was thinking about doing a review of my xtm 457 engine!! its a really fair priced engine ($160) and power that will blow your mind!! so when i install it and start the break in i was going to do a write up about my experience and all the specs of this engine!! what do u guys think??? if u'd rather leave the reviews up to the real "testers" then thats ok to!!
 
I would like to here about that mill,i am trying to find a new one so when it comes time to replace it i know which one to get
 
This is the format I use for my reviews, feel free to use it as well

I have had my Axial .28 for a while now and wanted to share my thoughts on it. Before I begin I will list the parts I used on my Axial .28, this includes anything that is important to the engines performance

Fuel - Trinity Monster Horsepower 20%
Glow Plug - The Real McCoy MC-8
Flywheel - Stock HPI Flywheel
Clutch Springs - Mugen 1.0mm Springs
Clutch Shoes - Aluminum Nova 3 Shoe Clutch (No Weights)
Clutch Bell - Robinson Racing 18 Tooth Clutch Bell
Pipe - Stock HPI Tuned Pipe
Gearing - 18/49




The Crack Down

Low End- 9/10
Comments - Just as I rated it, hauls butt from a dead stop.

Mid-Range - 9/10
Comments - If you are a good tuner the Axial .28 has a mid-range needle. The stock setting for the mid-range is good, but once I tuned it it really shined.

High End - 7/10
Comments - Just as I heard the Axial .28's top end was good but when compared to other high end motors the Axial lacks a screaming high end. Don't misunderstand me, the Axial flys, big time but I have run engines that have more top end than the Axial .28 so that is why it gets 7/10

Tuning - 10/10
Comments - The Axial .28 is easy to tune, and holds a tune like none other.

Price - 10/10
Comments - At $110 can you go wrong? I think not.

Price To Performance - 10/10
Comments - You get amazing performance for an amazing price.

Quality - 9/10
Comments - The engine sports some beefy internals but there was one problem I had. A few air leaks were found in the carb and the back plate. Not to worry all I did was seal the engine (Which is easy, the hardest part is waiting for it the dry) and I was good. Those air leaks were the only thing preventing it from getting a 10/10.



Final Thoughts

The Axial .28 was easy to break-in and the needles were all in the right range. I began going full throttle and was impressed by the power of this engine. Once break-in was finished I began tuning it and once again was impressed by the how easy it was to tune. I have put a gallon through it and is still running strong. Great pinch, tons of power and still easy to tune. The Axial .28 sports a 3 needle carb, low end, mid range, high end, and an idle. Bottom line, the Axial .28 is a true performer. It is a fast, strong, reliable engine and in my opinion is one of the best engines out there. I would recommend this engine to anyone in a heart beat. Whether it be a beginner or a seasoned veteran it as a great engine for anyone.
