Motor Saver (Sav100) Air Filter & Savox 1256TG Install

[JVT73]

Well, I finally had some time to install the Motor Saver air filter that I won in the contest and install a Savox 1256 TG stearing servo. The servo install took some time, I made a few dremel mods to the radio box to allow for the servo to sit properly with out stressing the wires and utilize the center servo port to keep the wires in. I can't stand a birds nest of wires so I figured I'd route the servo wires through the empty center port. Enjoy the pic's & thanks again HPISF for the air filter. @WoodiE , @Jam Racing 1, @X. Oh, and that servo is sweet @277 oz. in. It has no trouble turning the tires. Unlike the stock SF20 that couldn't turn the tires when the truck was not moving.

EPIG(ebay) is tough. a person really has to keep the urges in check.
2012/2013 i think i soaked 20K into this hobby. too much free time and too much spare cash
In 2017 i am really taking it in the sphincter trying to sell this stuff off, between shipping/ebay charges/paypal charges/ and people who want everything for nothing, its hard to sell things for a small profit. all the middlemen seem to be doing good, though
good thing today. HPI is clearing out the chopshop supply by putting a hold on manufacturing so parts are fetching better prices and some are not even available. hopefully they get their heads out their rectal muscles soon or it may be too late to recover. i could use a couple stock screw kits

it is tough.do upgrades slowly, keep the basic stock of parts you may break.IE suspension arms/ spurgears a set of clutch pads a few glowplugs, maybe some differential parts. otherwise, get it as you break it as it may never get broken
