I'll have to climb into my flame resistant suit before I respond to this thread,lol! okay here we go,
We have two Traxxas Hawks,two Hawk 2s,a Bullet/Hawk2 hybrid,a 2.5 up-graded 3906 E-maxx,two 1.5 T-maxxs,a Tamiya Sand Scorcher,a Midnight Pumpkin,A Clod Crawler project,a Kyosho Optima and a XTM Mammoth ST.
And last but not least,my poor old Savage 21[currently apart for a major rebuild,the previous owner was a serious animal/idiot],
stripped threads,missing screws,tweaked Integy TVPs,no guts in the front diffie, 4 bent shocks/all 8 leaking[and filled with 80/90 gear oil,no less!],a major compression leak[3 screws holding the cooling head on and only two were anywhere near tight] and a selection of wood and sheet metal screws holding it together,stripped wheel hexes[4 out of 6 rims] and I could go on but I'm guessing you get a general idea of just how messed up this beast is. As in bad enough that I've been watching for a roller so that I can use 2 trucks to make one runner.
Fortunately I got the Savage and a large Rubbermaid tote full of assorted goodies for $100.00[Canadian]It came with a two month old Mach 427 engine that flat out screams[now that it has four screws holding the head on.lol!],a NIP HPI Tuned/polished pipe and a new 4 spider diffie installed in the rear.
Even with its long list of problems, it is without a doubt the fastest Nitro machine the I have have ever driven and it has shredded two [used] front diffies since I bought it two years ago. But now I know a bit more about diff shimming.lol!
