mydoddy69 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Could be the steering angle ? Might be you got a centre dog bone mixed up ? Get some pics up as without seeing something it's hard to say really . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-z-awd Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Could be the steering angle ? Might be you got a centre dog bone mixed up ? Get some pics up as without seeing something it's hard to say really . when you look form it at the front the wheels are angled out the way not facing straight forward abit like this / \ and its not a centre dog bone as i`ve had it in bits and the centre ones are defo shorter than the front ones the only thing i can think of is there is suppsed tobe foam washers in the drive cups and there missing so the bones can move around too much so i`m going to try the old fuel tube method and see what happens with that when the weather gets better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Could be you just need to change the angle slightly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-z-awd Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Could be you just need to change the angle slightly ? could be just that but all wait till the traxxas camber links come to see if that helps aswell as the fuel tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks fella Right just got back in from a quick blast around the park, first up the gladiators have a super amount of grip !! Next up this little quicrun motor is FANTASTIC !!!!!! So much power and super cool temps ran it flat out geared at stock 2s gearing and it only got to 142f and that's on grass which normally warms things up !! Backflips at the blip of the throttle and speed is very nice too!! .. Next step whack in the 3s gearing and see what that's like !! Has to be one of the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrighty8766 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Think I may have been a little eger on buying the castle now but I dare say I'll find a use for it !!

AlexM Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm also curious about the price of the castle, I'd like to get my Savages up and running.

The Dark Knight Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The XS is looking awesome Mydoddy, will you be getting some Tbones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The XS is looking awesome Mydoddy, will you be getting some Tbones? Thanks fella As for t bones I doubt it every single time I buy some I end up paying the duty and crappy royal fail charges plus I'm yet NOT to break a set !!! OK they get replaced but I'm just not overly impressed with them.. So unless I come across I set extremely cheap I doubt it Must get myself a wheelie bar thou !!! A word on budget so far as it stands it's cost me a whooping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've been pretty lucky when order Tbones, never been hit with import charges yet "touch wood". Yeah a wheelie bar is another must have. That's a very decent built for that money, definitely a bargain. Yeah it is still in the back of mind about getting another one, if I see a cheap roller I may just have to get it as they are one of the most fun trucks I've owned. I do need a basher again, I keep looking at Stampede 4x4's too, it's a tough choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have the stampede 4x4 and it's one fun truck but i would never recommend buying a rtr there just too much money for what you get !!.. Instead either build your own from scratch or pick up a decent secondhand one . It's not unbreakable by any means but it will take a shed load of abuse before it does, its not by any means the best rc i have but its the one that gets the most use i can't put my finger on why thou other than its just so much fun too drive around with.. Aquaplaning it through puddles or flipping it up trees and walls or just blasting it around never gets tiresome like some other rc's Have to say i'm glad i have both as choice between the 2 is hard !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I did think about buying a rtr Stampede 4x4 or Savage XS then selling the parts I wouldn't use. I've also seen brand new Stampede rollers for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I know what you mean with a secondhand XS being risky, I paid over the odds for my first believing it to be in good condition - it was such a state that the only 'good' parts were the ESC and a few of the plastics!

mydoddy69 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yeah i know what you guys mean about secondhand gear, i only went with this one as it was the ss version so it had some decent upgrades on like shocks cvd's and links plus a few other bits which if i had of bought separately would have cost more than the truck did 3 times over if not more !! ..

mini-z-awd Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) got my e clip elimantor mod set up today and what a disappointment that was as i was told it would replace the long pins holding the a arms onto the diff casing how wrong was i there actually for holding the c hubs onto the a arm so i guess some reading up would have helped but when i did read it up i could`nt find anything but atleast i don`t have to worry about them c clips anymore now all i need is hd diff cups to replace the crappy stock ones oh and new tyres Edited September 18, 2014 by mini-z-awd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
