dazzi220 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I'm gonna get a sav 4.6 but know nothing about radio gear I can get hold of the transmitter and receiver from a stock savage 25, then I was planning on just buying 2 hitec servos. any probs with the above?

Hawkeye Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Not really, but wouldnt you like to upgrade your radio gear, there is some nice sets on the market, such as sanwa/hi tec/ ko ect ect, its upto you, but youll find upgrading to some thing abit more expensive will have its benefits. Its completly upto you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I am with Hawkeye-it would be a false economy to buy a cheaper radio. You should buy a slighlty more expensive computer radio which will give you a much better overall package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Plus with the added features you do gain, you will find less interfernce, longer range things like this, you could push the boat out and go for the spectrum which is a very nice set, im currently running it on my sanwa and it works lovly, no more crystals, only thing is its not brca approved so if you want to rave u cant use it as of yet.

Hawkeye Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 (edited) Well if you race in a club with uses the brca rulings, they havent approved the radio yet, small clubs might not mind but if entering national racers there could be problems with using it, if you read up on the radio youll see that it uses a different type of radio signal, 2.4ghz to be precist, meaning it doesnt use crystal ect ect.

dazzi220 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 yeh but dudes, I forgot to mention the radio and reciever is free, saving me cash to buy a 3 speed tranny. so is it worth doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Yeh but a new computer based radio will be alot better and well worth doing, especially the spektrum, no more crystal or interfernce, and i know its abit of a layout but youll enjoy it more, the 3 speed isnt that great ive heard on the savage so its upto you big fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitromotorhead Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 The spectrum radio gear is fantastic. As for the 3 speed box the jury’s still out on that one, I think once the box is set up it will have the edge over the 2 speed. Once I renew my diff gears, I be back out testing the 3 speed and setting it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 thats a vicious rumor! I had the 3 speed in a sav 21 it was sweet, been driving my bros 4.6 with a 3 speed in the states - hense why I'm getting one. HPI rule! normally I would buy new radio gear but my cash is dissapearing quick with the move to the US and back to the UK, I'm trying to save a bit. Suppose I could get the free stock reciever and radio use em and get better stuff later if I want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123456 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Maxbashing allow the Spectrum system to be used. Certainly saves a fortune on crystals-especially with the LSt-they are £21 a set!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 price of crystals just depends on which radio you have. maxbashing might allow the spectrum but i was mentioning it in the context, of brca races, its the smae with alot of things, tyres being used, pipes, additives, things like this are all monitroed in brca racing.

123456 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Aye I know-just thought I would mention MAxbashing as it is probably the best track in the Uk-or that one in Essex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Fair enough, but i dont believe maxbashing is regulated in such ways by the brca, i wouldnt know with maxbashing, never been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 No Maxbashing is outside of the BRCA rules-making it much cheaper to race to be honest. They have an awesome track down there-if you could I would get down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffeenut Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) What are the servos like that come with the spectrum, would the be man enough to run on a T-maxx ? I've been looking at the hitec's as a replacement to the stock ones, but if the ones with the spektrum would be as good they I might be tempted by it.

Hawkeye Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 i just bought the spektrum dsm module, for my radio, so i didnt get any servos, but i would say there going to be of fair qaulity, more suited to on road, but you are getting a high torque, i would give them a go.
