rctech132 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thinking i might sell My XS just not using it :/. Im just fed up of getting the servo to work gone through 3 servos that have all died after 1 run and i just bought a new servo horn which doesn't fit either! Really annoying.... If anyones interested pm me with an offer. Its the SS Version and in pretty good condition with t-bones and hobbywing system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 How Much is a good condition xs ss worth? As a roller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise-Paisley Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Not a great deal I wouldn't think, even as spares its not going to be entirely desirable because really they don't really break much.. I paid less than 200 for mine in absolute mint condition, never been outside and not even had a full pack through it.. Not that its anything like mint now, looks like its been through a mincer!

Louise-Paisley Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 At the end of the day if you have gone through 3 servos and they only last one run then something is binding, either the saver, or the steering linkage, maybe when under acceleration load or turning load something is binding and stalling the servo.. Or as covered earlier the end points are too wide and it is trying to go past its physical limits when turning.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 turned out it was just the endpoints as i was using same transmitter for my truggy so had to turn them way down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, did I miss that somewhere? Maybe a flysky or Spekky is in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 You didn't miss anything haha i just probably didn't post that i solved it lol. And yea ive got my eye on a nice spektrum radio set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise-Paisley Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I have a flysky gt3, perdy good radio for the price and the rx's are cheap as chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Anyone have any recommendations for stripped motor mounts? I've tried glue but the screws come out on a minor crash. Alternative is a new motor, which seems a little overkill Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsie Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Do you mean you've stripped the threads out of the holes in the motor? If so the only option is to use larger screws and a tap and die set to recut the threads to a larger size. You'll probably also have to drill the holes on the motor plate out a bit too. Or you could just buy a new motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yes, like many parts on the first XS I bought, the threads are stripped (it was a bad buy!). Any recommendations for a replacement motor? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsie Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Plenty of recommendations in this thread. I personally am still rocking the stock HPI 4000kv motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctech132 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Can't you just move the motor round and use the next over set of holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Can't you just move the motor round and use the next over set of holes? Previous owner already did that, and stripped them too! If I wasn't so naive when I bought it I would have sent it back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rctech132 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Sold my xs.... Shame really but it just wasn't my thing and I didn't use it much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Speak to castle and see if you can get a replacement end cap. I'm pretty sure the stock motor is based on the castle 1406 motor. Edited June 14, 2014 by Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise-Paisley Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 also could you remove the end cap and drill & tap new holes between existing ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'll try that, thanks for the suggestion! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Looking at the pic in post 1969 it does not look like it will be possible due to the end cap fixing holes.. might just squeeze one in if you are lucky Edited June 15, 2014 by Louise-Paisley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algenash12 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hi have finally got round to building my savage xs ss kit, what be best servo to get? Going to stick with running just 2s lipos. Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Something like an Alturn High Torque will be fine for general bashing. 2S lipos is your best bet, plenty power for the trucks. Tbone bumpers are worth considering too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
