rctech132 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 First test run today. Nothing special jst up and down my very wet road. Sounds louder than it should not sure if thats the savage drivetrain again or the fact the motors not in the best way but everything works perfectly. last thing on the list to finish this thing off is a nice truck body to go on the top. Though about selling it aswell but not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rctech132 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 First "proper" run today. Wanted to test waterproofness and just the truck in general. Also was interested in if they wheels would strip immediately which in fact they didn't! I got some normal body posts and stole the body of my other savy flux as i still don't have one for this one. Lower body looks a lot better imo. http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/30885-/ Wasn't long before i found a horse track covered in puddles which i quickly turned into a rather good mud bog So my brand newly built savage got a little dirty: http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/30886-/ And A lot more dirty: http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/30887-/ And a final pic at the end of my run: http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/30888-/ I did manage to accidentally drive my car into a small pond resulting in the whole car being completely submerged for around 10 seconds.... had to get a wet foot but pulled it out and it worked perfectly! Success. I officially name this car WATERPROOF I actually haven't got a waterproof receiver in there so i was lucky i think. Eventually ill get a waterproof spektrum one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rctech132 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Got the hot racing hexes so now running 17mm truggy wheels till I get some nice beefy monster ones. All cleaned up now waiting for the next bash however both my turnigy 2s lipos puffed so now I only have the pair of 3s and the 2s hpi plazmas. Still haven't ordered a new body can't really decide what style to get?? Any ideas. Also what wheels to get?? Or if anyone's selling any 17mm monster wheels let me know.
