Everything Savage XS

[bulletflux 345]

looks awesome AJ, them tyres look like they will grip better than the standard one

[.AJ.]

That's the idea

My SC8 doesn't like my Savox 1257 servo, looks like I need a power cap, I'm running spektrum as well so that probably doesn't help either lol

got my missing parts through today. how long did it take for rc echo orders to come through? was dispatched on the 9th?

[.AJ.]

My last rcecho order took 7 days

[howie87]

Right, I've got some money burning a hole .

I'm tempted by the XS and its not helped by you lot photoing and videoing it.

Although I can easily afford the kit or the RTR not sure I can add the electric I would want to the Kit and remain in budget.

So looks like RTR is the more viable option ATM>

I have 2 x 2700 2s and a 3000 3s so batteries don't seem to be a problem.

Anything else I need to look out for or budget for when I place an order ?

i should be buying smash's one tonight

[.AJ.]

If you get the rtr make sure you have some way of programming the esc, ie a castle link. I've been told a lot of the problems with the ESC's is down to poor firmware and incorrect settings on timing and punch

Had a head on collision with a T-Maxx today, closing speed of around 45mph and this was the only damage

I also nailed a few double back flips today, I will post up the vids when they appear

[howie87]

ive got two shocks like that. car failsafed in the air then landed on its backside. esc has been funny since. keeps cutting out. though it cut out mid air makes me think theres another issue

Gives me a good reason to get TiNi shock shafts now

are they stronger than stock? i thought that was just a low friction coating?

Edited July 28, 2012 by howie87

Just a coating, I'll order some from the US, they are about the same price as the stock shafts over here

[.AJ.]

Cool, pm me a price please mate :-)

More shock problems, this time going backwards into a tree at 30mph xD

[bulletflux 345]

oops

[Slugsie]

Pretty sure that sort of thing invalidates your warranty.

Nice going fella.

[.AJ.]

I've got some traxxas captive rod ends to upgrade to on the way, nothing a cable tie won't fix for now tho

[carmst74]

Right im in as well. Will be getting one shortly.

While im here, if anyone wants a set of the centre universal shafts,

THESE

Ill be selling them for

Hi Chris

I would say the sway bar kit does work, I've had my XS round my local astro/carpet off road track and it didnt grip roll as much with the fitted, as for the motor it should fit, but I'm not sure if there will be room to fit the sensor cable if you wanted to it run sensored
