Slugsie Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'd second the EZRUN SC8, it's what I have in my XS, and with the stock 4000kv motor on 3S with the lowered gearing it's a huge grin. The SC8 is rated up to 4S, so it's got a nice bit of headroom when running 3S. It's interesting that a lot of the option parts they're providing the with SS are bits that people have roundly criticised HPI for fitting to the XS. Good to see though that the option parts are coming to market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slugsie Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I thought ezrun were a cheapish brand? They are cheap yes. But that doesn't mean they're not good quality. If you look around the net you'll find a lot of people recommending them in instances where the cost of a Castle or Tekin system is either not warranted or affordable. They may not have all the minute configuration options of those systems, but they have the basics, and they certainly get the job done. listen to this guy read his thread he know savage xs mmmmmmmmm Thanks for the vote of confidence. I still consider myself pretty new to the hobby, but I learn quickly, and I have done quite a bit to my XS. I'm not the only one on this forum who is amassing a good bit of knowledge of this great little truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yrkoon Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) from what i have read ez run systems are dirt cheap and good. from my experience their awesome got a second hand rustler from here with a 6000kv ezrun system in it and wow it is just insane and u can even link it up to your pc via usb etc to programme the speed controller. not worked out how to do that with mine since no manual as it came in a second hand car im gonna be watching this thread as me and dad are both interested in the wee savages in kit form so let us know how u get on with what ever you get and how it runs Edited March 1, 2012 by Yrkoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Well i think the eZrun sc8 is a great bit of kit look what you get for your money if your only going to bash it why spend a small fortune on castle not saying castle stuff is bad as i have got a sv2 system myself on my merv and i love it but i also have a sc8 as back-up for the savage xs as there nice and cheap and will do the job but if you got deep pockets then the Tekin system is the way to go but when i say deep pockets i mean like a wishing well deep My money would go on the sc8 and stock motor get the motor from US on eBay about Edited March 3, 2012 by mydoddy69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
