Ok so I have been wrenching on the 25 and just got it running a week and a half ago. Ive been tuning after reading some of the posts and following the advice I have gotten the savage dialed in. She runs like stink.
A friend from work came over for dinner and we took the savage out for a bash in the grass... It was my wife's turn and she had the controller for maybe 30 seconds when I yelled "NOT IN THE LAKE!!!!"
And then it happened.
So now its drying on the deck and I'm hoping the electronics are okay (I never waterproofed anything) and I know I need to take it apart and clean and re-grease it.
Heres my questions
1) What oil / grease is recommended in the diffs? Brand?
2) Same question but for the 3-speed
3) Bearing grease? or oil?
4) I have never shimmed ANYTHING (diffs/trans) what parts / sizes should I buy for shims etc.
5) Any recomendations on mill inspection
If I have missed anything let me know. This truck is for mainly bashing, although I plan to race in Hampton on the 14th, I have another savage I'm going to dump a ton of parts at.
Thanks in advance-
Matt
