tt3az Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Build is comming closer: '' IRC shocks were dope but I had to drill larger holes in the pistons because even with 32wt oil there was almost no bound or rebound. IRC sell dual rate pistons though but I fixed the issue myself :). Other than that I am waiting on some new castor blocks, steering hubs and rear bearing carrier and some 18mm offset hex hubs. All alloy parts from integy. Initially I had alloy shock towers and RPM a-arms but it didn't work so well with LST shocks so I am back to stock using IRC upper shock mounts and IRL lower 6mm spacers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalcraig Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Well really peed off was breaking in my brand new savage x4.6. was on my 2nd tank when the engine started screaming like the throttle was wide open and I thought it was gonna explode so I managed to stop it and on close inspection the spur gear is missing about 5 teeth and the clutch bell also looks like the teeth are worn a little bit. Did I mention this is a brand new truck . It's seems to be a common problem what is a good fix for this do you think they where not set properly in the first place. Cheers guys Sorry to resurrect an old post but mine did this 5 times which led to me chucking it in a corner and forgetting about it for a couple of years. This year I’m determined to get it going properly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyP Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Probably my favourite land based Rc I have owned. Awesome truck prefer it nitro over BL. Taking mine for a blast tomorrow, bit of gearbox tuning needed but hopefully won't take to long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're converting a 25 to electric, I recommend you upgrade to 4 gear diffs. The standard 2 gears diffs will get chewed pretty fast from all that extra torque. Lets see some pics when you can, can never have too much Savage these days 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Kinda miss my Flux's. I've had 4 I think, One I made into 1/5th, One started life as a .21 Nitro and got the full works, one was a genuine FLUX HP Which got upgraded to XL, then I had an Alphastar 2350. The Alphastar box stock on 4s was probably the best of the lot for use. Same a I ruined it and made it XL/MMM/6S. I'll dig some pics out after work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll dig some pics out after work Good stuff 👍 shame its all moved on but can't complain about an XMaxx as a replacement. The 2350 Alphastar is an underrated gem imo, maybe the ESCs are a little flaky but the the less powerful motor suits the short wheelbase Savage quite nicely. Much tamer, more stable driving experience. Plus that gorgeous blue version of the HP body 🤤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerboysmiler Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Well here's a few pics of my Savage. I've lost track of what mods it had, suspension bracing, modified shocks, HD dogbones. Most upgrading was around the engine and then putting the power down. It (had) a Hot Bodies 4.26cc 'big block' with upgraded clutch and spur clutch and gearing to put down the power. But I'd just removed the engine to clean it up for the electric conversion and thought to snap some photos.Soon it'll have been redirected into a new era of raw electric power and clean quiet fun!Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
