Went to the park again with the cars and brought back some pics, here are some of the good ones. Managed to break my 2nd 13t bevel gear since owning the XL but that was the only damage i think.

some nice action shots, seeing that last one you might want to get that tyre re-glued

Yup, a fair list now on my to do list. Replacing the diff part, glue tires back, general check over the savage, its tuned pretty much spot on now even if it was a tad hot today, was running perfect and a temp around 240/50. Hyper 7 was around the same too and ran great, the Revo only got to run it for 2mins, took it out today to test my new temp gun as we are having issues getting it running and it was more than a tad on the hot side, damaged another plug so going to put the picco in it.

Been playing with my sisters 400d cam, still learning the best settings etc and in general how to take good moving pictures, so there not as good as i had hoped, hard to tell on the little screen how they are going to come out.

Awsome pics!

Is it just me or is that Hyper 7 doing a wheelie?

top speed wise i'd say there pretty equal as we did a few races around the park, but when the Savage does kick itsself into 3rd it does pull away, but wasn't doing it as consistantly as it normally does as the air conditions we had today, we left just before thunder storms were due to hit which i'm guessing had an impact on the way the cars ran.

Hehe good to see you posted some of my Hyper pics aswell as your Savage, was great fun and jumping over that hill for the first few times where pretty cool to do,had one minor roll after landing but thats expected.

We did race both the Hyper and Savage in straight lines on the grass and they ran almost the same speed and we managed to avoid each other.

haha, i'm suprised i haven't broken more of it to be honest. Its had some really really hard tumbles, end over ends, front landings, rear landings and thats the most i've actually damaged by doing something wrong so far. I'm kinda disapointed in an odd way as i've got more than a few spare plastic bits for it that i expected to break but its a hell of alot tougher than i thought.

A few bigger images, well the better ones in 1920x size

just goes to show how tough the rest of the drivetrain is
