[cyronn]

[Car Killer Miller]

Room for one more?

[TrickyTris]

Cool, should be a gooden!

Room for one more?

Of course mate!

[cyronn]

Weather is not looking good for tomorrow chaps, if its not raining around 12ish. I will still pop down and see if people turn up lol.

[TrickyTris]

Yeah, rather annoyed as it was looking to be a dry one! iPhone app still says weekend will be dry & sunny.. Fingers crossed!

I'll still be down providing it isn't raining, just glad I didn't bother cleaning the Truggy! lol

[cyronn]

Both of mine is spotless atmo, I might just bring down the 8T now though.

[TrickyTris]

Wont be spotless for long!

My truggy is good to go, as last weekend not a thing went wrong, () so will be able to get down there a bit earlier and sweep away any sludge & puddles! Should be looking good by the time you guys get down! (Weather permitting of course )

[cyronn]

Sorry guys, can't make it now. Have a good one.

I'm also unable to make it today guys, sorry! Been dragged into christmas shopping!

[APHEXTWIN]

Bummer, just got here. Quite a few puddles on the straight today.

[Car Killer Miller]

You guys missed all the mud!

[APHEXTWIN]

Well the savage managed a whole half litre of fuel today. I was very pleased. However I thought it was odd that the hump pack died roughly the same time as my last tank of fuel...... turns out it was the steering servo that died instead......... curse you hpi!!!!!!!

[Car Killer Miller]

Lol, you'll be an expert on repairing the savage soon

[APHEXTWIN]

lets hope so eh, at the rate I am breaking it I will need all knowledge I can get!!! I am not really sure what has gone wrong with the servo. I have removed it and tested it but nothing, completely unresponsive. Any recommendations for a new steering servo??

[Car Killer Miller]

Maybe you can send it back for warranty?

I'm using this in my savage http://www.modelsport.co.uk/savox-sc-1256-coreless-digital-servo-high-torque-/rc-car-products/31644

May want to upgrade the servo saver spring at the same time http://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?search=1&search_string=102522+

That sucks mate, not having the best of luck with that truck are you! Certainly sounds like its fried. HPI say the servo's are waterproof but realistically they're just splash proof at best!

My stock servo's didn't last long either and I'm now running two Savox TG's and am well impressed with them! They're a tad expensive but worth getting as you'll be hard pressed to kill one. Plus they come with a year's warranty should you manage to. As Paul suggested, go for the Savox 1256. It has loads of torque, is quick as hell & takes a serious beating!

Servo aside, how was the savage running? Manage to get some good use out of it?

Hopefully will get one last bash in this weekend but if I don't see you guys, have a good Christmas and see you soon!

[cyronn]

The 1256 are awesome steering servo's, I have one in my 8T. I won't be around until after Xmas, have a good Xmas chaps .

As far as I can tell there is no evidence of water ingress. I could be wrong, but the worst I can see was a splash of mud on the case. I'm wondering if it's crash damaged. Had a few bumps.

That sounds bang on mate! I'm up for that some time pal. Basingstoke is like 20-30 mins drive from me. And I'm sure some of us could buddy up in the motors to keep the fuel costs down.

[Timenator]

cool bro, yer on
