Fall 10 feet and land flat on your top?

I have a set of hpi big bores i think I'm going to swap out with and see the difference in them.

I started of with alot of preload in lst shocks but it seemed that i couldnt make a corner at any speed without it rolling. So i took out the preload and that helped alot.

Its going to get a simple green/water bath soon =)
 
Ok....seriously! This is getting nuts, I'm beginning to see parts break in incredibly bizarre ways.

i think he's runnin 7k diff oil in front. 50k or 100k would prob help caz you can see the front left unload in the vid when it shredds a foam/tire. this is also the same spot that grenaded the hub.

so the question remains, 4s or 6s?

6. Even though you didn't have #6, here is a big issue. Out of all the people, hobbyists, factory reps, etc. I have talked with, only about 2-3% actually like running the 3s setup, dual 3s at least. It is way too much. It's kinda fun or funny for about the 1st 30 seconds then, as your walking about 50 yards to flip your truck back to it's wheels after flipping, tumbling, cartwheeling to a hault from say somewhere north of 50mph, you kinda stop to think...who needs an r/c monster truck this fast and this uncontrollable. If you think your going to break parts on 4s, imagine what will be detonated, shredded, or castrated when using another 7.4 volts. This is why i gave 2 of my personal 3s packs away at the world finals, they are too much.

lol nice ,,,, seee why I'm waiting to build a brushless? the parts just are not ready for that kind of power yet... they need to upgrade parts as they upgrade motors.. but don't they come out with the crazy power plands then see the flaws in the weak parts and say oooops...lol
 
I'm starting to think they have to much power by all the carnage I'm hearing about if thats possible...:dunno:
 
Wow dude, thats some power. Gets to a point where you won't be able to find certain upgrades that will ever really be strong enough for what you need. Titanium HD drive cups anyone? LOL!
 
gotta love the sk8 park, didnt u get a roll cage with it stock out of the box?or does that only come with the savage x 4.6?few trims to the body and it fits well.I didnt put mine on till i fliped it and scraped the head like 2nd day i owned it lol.what sort of pipe u getting?
 
I remember when I first ran my savage right after I was done building and breakin in the mill SMASH right into a BIG curb my first thought was damn I broke something.... Not a thing I was like WHAT!!! I love my savage.
 
Well after 2 years she's just finally calling it quits... Demanding woman asking for a rebuild so today after my baja's injuries were tended to I started with just motor removal and found.
