Carpmart Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm the 'owner' of the truck which Bez spoke about earlier in the thread and has been on order for 6 weeks. Was looking forward to having the first one, guess I'm going to be one of a crowd now..... Looks great AJ Bez, do we need the steering upgrade? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 You snooze, you lose... I'll sell you mine, for an inflated, yet cheaper than UK price, cos I am that nice Your love for OHO never ceases to amaze me Jon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm going to strip out the servo saver later and see if it will lock down better, Harvey I wouldn't run a low end servo with no saver, it won't last 5 mins, but something like a 1256 or a decent Hitec or Xpert should be perfectly fine without one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Beautiful truck. And with all the money I've thrown at my pesky Losi High Roller, I could have had one of these with ample change left over! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 The servo saver is officially crap And that's after being fully locked down...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This has got me wanting one more than ever now, must have it. The 2wd Stampede has always been tempting me, so seeing as this is an all hopup Stampede effectively, and in kit form it ticks the boxes the original doesn't. Your build threads are bad to everyone's bank accounts lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I agree, I'm sure AJ is sponsored by these companies to help us spend! Looks like a lovely quality truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 What do y'all think? I've left the window masks on for now as I'm going to get some Tamiya Smoke to tint the windows and it saves me getting greasy fingers marks on the windows and having to clean them again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think it looks a nice little truck. Several years ago, I went through the phase of direct connecting the steering servos - Maxx and Raminator - when I fitted high spec servos. It was a bad move! They're there for that one reason - saving the servo from stripping gears, even metal ones. If you think the stock one's too slack, then check out options. Those tyres are big and grippy. Does it steer OK when on the move? Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 I get where you are coming from, fingers crossed I will get to run her tomorrow, I would like to keep the servo saver but as you can see in the vid I posted its still pretty slack even when cranked down, for bashing it probaly won't make a difference The servo I've ordered does come with a 12 month replacement warranty which includes stripped gears, so if it does go all tits up with alloy rack fitted it's not the end of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 The Slash 2wd RX box fits perfectly...... To mount I only had to drill 1 extra hole in the bottom of the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I found that the pro track arms weren't that strong so you might want to stock up on them. When I had the pro line body mounts I used thread lock to keep the grub screw in as they liked falling out while bashing. The body looks good.

RCbutcher Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I bet someones brought them to sell it in parts lots, when germany did the savage xs ss for 120 loads of new kit parts appeared on ebay. I got some great bargains. Ide do it but fear it wouldnt work out lol. Ide rather get the pede 4x4 brushed rtr for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 That does look great tho its just the 2wd bit that stops me. My skash had alot of the proline upgrades fitted tho just needed chassis , gearbox and shox to complete. It was 10x better with the protrac and losi shocks tho it hardly ever fell over. But did get stuck alot rear wheels ballooned didnt even set it free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 With 2wd its all about set up, the fastest thing I've ever driven round our track was my Durango DESC210, I was over second quicker than my XB4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I found the desc210 (friends) had way to much body roll, I was much faster with my b5m around the corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Needs a Dimec 20 chassis then, the stock chassis is well too bendy lol Edited January 31, 2015 by .AJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Rather embarrassingly, when I saw the front of your truck I did a shocked double-take... ...I thought the "PL" on the grill was a swastika! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Cracking looking lil truck AJ, colour scheme has a touch of the HPI about it, which ain't a bad thing at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Chassis looks like a bucket ready to start collecting crud! Is it designed so that the shell hugs the chassis to create a sort of seal? Perhaps an inverted pic with shell on so we can see how the two come together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
