StokerGTi Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Any stronger replacements for the pins holding the lower arms in place? snapped mine failing a big front flip and landing on 1 wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Was it the rear left side if you look at it from the rear? I think thats the side I damaged the diff case on mate that could be why it broke I can't remember tho it might be the right side. If it is cos of this ill happily cover half the cost to repair I did say about it but I also said I think its strong enough to hold up so ill help with repair. You can get 2 new diff cases for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise-Paisley Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Just finished my first paint job on the Savage XS, new wheels and tyres, quite chuffed with myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Looks great LP! I'll have to have a go at painting a shell, never tried. Just started ordering parts to get my second XS up and running, repair bill looks to be about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise-Paisley Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Well that's the new paint job completely ruined, doesn't take many roof landings to wreck a shiny shell does it LOLOL On a more positive note the new tyres are friggen mustard! seriously better than the stock things, it was a struggle to keep the front wheels on the deck on tarmac, sandy sport surface, grass, even loose leaves - like a different truck it was!

rctech132 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've had 2 servos die in my xs now both only on their 2nd or 3rd use. First one was a savox second was hitec. Could there be something wrong with the servo saver causing it to break the servo? Tole have I just had bad luck. I've considering a power HD servo now.

AlexM Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I lost a pin out of one of my CVDs on my last outing, HPI don't seem to sell them separately - what can I replace it with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I have done it myself, yet, but seems quite common to replace various pins with bits of drill shank cut to size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmini Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) You will need to measure one you still have but it might behttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380899483042 Forget that the part number is 106709 but that's for the whole assembly. Tho as you lost the pin you probably lost the grub screw as well. So might make sense to just get the kit...

AlexM Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 They're pretty expensive to buy, not something I fancy purchasing unnecessarily (couldn't see a grub screw in the other side either, best check the fronts too before I run again!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste001 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Well got the savage out on the beach for the first ever time today ! Its ace, best surface i would say. Just thought i would share a few pics from my bash. One thing that always amazes me is no matter were i rc i can always attract a crowd haha. Also had several races with random dogs, pleased to say i won them all ! Got 3 packs through it... Turnbuckle fell off... Quick repair haha (traxxas steering mod pending) Now for the jumps... Then after a particularly enthusiastic run up and a big jump... this happened So that was the end of that, not all bad tho because my pack went flat on the limp back to me.

rctech132 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Haha well I reckon if I ever do it'll be at a time when my bearings need replacing anyway so it doesn't matter if them get ruined by the sand or not lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
