The Dark Knight Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 A TCS 5mm chassis for heavy bashing This is another rc I'd like to own at some point so be good to see what you do with it in terms of upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Does it have any upgrades already? Like the RPM centre skid plate? RPM arms? They look nuts on 6S!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Nice, it already has Alza tvp's. Did you remove the 1256 servo to use in a different model? Or was it not included in the deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I presume that's been XL'd Wrighty? From what I've read, these are great for bashing once a few upgrades have been fitted. They're not really that comparable, but how would you guys rate the Stampede 4x4 against this for skatepark bashing? Both fitted with the essential upgrades?

Wrighty8766 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yeah that was the first thing on my list, also has alza CD with hyper 7 spider diff, alza jumbo servo plate, alza bulkhead brace, RPM arms, integy rear hubs carriers, leopard 4092 1480kv on 6s....to be honest I have done all these upgrades and I'm still not happy with it! they aren't brilliant bashers, mine and my brothers break every time we go out haha, my brushless hyper 7 and savage xs take a lot more abuse than this does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I just bought the HD integy rear hubs for my savage, after I snapped the stock 3.5 one from its conversion last year, it's held up very well in a years worth of bashing!

Please correct me if I'm wrong. What do you run the Savage XS on? 2S only?

Wrighty8766 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) When I had the stock 2200kv hpi doodar in it I ran 4s, now with the 1480kv I need 6s to get the same speeds I used to have! I was opting for a lower amp setup for longer run times. I run the xs on 2s and 3s, all depends on what other rc's I take out with me and what lipo's are still charged haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited September 3, 2014 by Wrighty8766 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan_bench10 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 so got some tie rod deletes ordered in negotiation for some hr hexes after this itshall be innovative rc tvps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreXeL Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) I've only recently converted mine to brushless and I find 5s the perfect sweet spot too. I don't think RPM arms are necessary on these, I've yet to break an arm in the whole time I've owned it. Alza bulkhead braces are a must though. Mine has IRC TVPs, IRC Big Bore v2 shocks, Alza bulkhead braces, and an Alza centre diff conversion, an RCM alloy steering setup and the HPI 'racing conversion kit' (alloy hubs/uprights, rear tie-rod delete, thicker upper bulkhead braces) and it's pretty bombproof to be honest, I rarely break anything. I took it on holiday with me over the summer and hit a huge rock during a speed run on a beach. It just shrugged it off...
