martin34 Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Thanks for the pm.I will take a look at those sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 i dont think anyone on here has one, they look good though and an rc company has finaly had some sence and used those star security things on the screws instead of hexes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reppyboyo Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Both reviews I`ve read (RCKingdom & Maxbashing) both give good reviews of the truck. Its a shame its not 4wd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame its not 4wd. they said somthing about beccause its ment to be a stunt truck they made it 2Wd because you have more control in the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I have the havoc stunt truck,so feel free if there are any questions anyone would ask. make sure there are 4 clutc bearings installed,if not fone shumacher and get them. get the new exhaust pipe outlet reducers for better back pressure. These are only a few things,so just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reppyboyo Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 How good a basher is it in your view? If you have owned or used a Savage how does it compair? Are the body posts made any tougher? (they were glued down in early versions) Is there two clutch shoes or three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 The bodyposts are still glued,the later versions should now be just fastened in their lacoations.It is two clutch shoe set-up ,but they are bige and works very well.They grip and and utilise the power of the engine very well.The truck is a very good jumper and high topspeed. It is only rearwheel drive so in really muddy conditions it will just spin.I cannot compare it to a savage really eventough i drive them on week-ends.The savage will have better traction on wet surfaces,but the savage will loose in a dragrace and accellaration.There is a vid on the forum of the havoc,i will post a new one where i gave it some real air time! Fit the wheely bar,it wil be a good idea!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reppyboyo Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Not really concerned about speed, more the ability to take a good beating and still come back for more. Not stripping spur gears every other tank would be a bonus too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 It is a strong truck,spur gear is tuff and big-no issue with it.It can do mad donuts and great power slides if know how...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumungous Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Give it a few weeks and I might have one... Hooray for pay day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reppyboyo Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yea been thinking of getting one myself. Both reviews I`ve read are singing its praises and plus 2wd tends to be more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hi i havent finished running mine in yet.Should get that done tomorow(sunday).The reviews i have read also sing its praises.The only thing i dont like is the way the wheels fit on.If it had normal hexes i could fit my savages max mulchers to it.

Reppyboyo Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 The 23mm hex`s just came out for the Havoc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quango2k Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 i have one and its a royal pain in the ar*e.. back wheel broke in a day, inserts tyre inserts ripping inside the tyre then balling up inside..but worst of all.. THE CLUTCH SUCKS BIGTIME....12 lots of bearings in 4 months (and no, the mesh isnt tight and i have ver 2 with 4 bearings and not 2x with a spacer) also the pin in the main gear has broke so many times schumacher sent me a huge bag full...also the shaft in the gearbox with the drive gear on has snapped 3 times, front shocks broke in the first day and leaked oil everywhere.... maybe i had a friday made one...but schumacher sounded like they have had these problems before when i called them. hats off to schumacher tho...they are jolly nice people and they always replace what breaks and do their best to help.

These are only a few things,so just ask. Not anymore as i just bought it off him and have to say im immensley impressed after a few teething probs as my 1st rc car i luv it but as wizard said it does some mad donuts in rain wos at the park today with wizard and rain started cuming down so i let it pass over then got back on to an extremely wet field and wos slipping and sliding everywhere, but it was awesome.... As ive never owned a nitro RC car i cnt compare to the likes of the savvy and t-maxx but i wos giving sum of the cars there today a fair old run for there money (even as a pants driver) i would definately give this car a 10/10 for enjoyment but as wizard said earlier fit a wheelie bar you will defo need it :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
