  1. Hi again. Looks like you do have the inbuilt servo saver/ servo arm and the servo saver in the steering post - the big spring bit. If you replace the round servo arm with a straight soild arm, you will find you steering a lot better. Also make sure that the adjuster on the spring on the steering post is done up. Sometimes they are left too slack and seize in place giving the impression they are tight. Might need a pair of pliers to get it to move.
  2. Hi if its a 25 does it have the large round servo saver that mounts straight off the servo and is effectively the servo arm? As opposed to the later ones which have a servo saver in steering assembley and a normal servo arm? If it the round 25 style then these are crap. If you have changed the upgraded steering assembly with saver, then switch to a normal non saver servo arm. Will make a world of difference
  3. Think 20t best for 2x2s. 25t for2x3s (6s)
  4. Kit comes with 20t and 25t pinions Youll need x type shock towers and bumper arms with retaining clips. Easy to get of a parts breaker on ebay. (I presume the 3.5 has the same diffs as a 25 etc) Off top of head cant think of anything else.
  5. I put a 150a xerun esc with 2000kv motor. And two 2s 5000mah turnigy lipos. Think they 40c ones. Only running 4s but is plenty fast enough for my driving lol.
  6. You'll need a few extra bits and bobs if your converting a 3.5, a savage x makes a better base but its nothing major really. With the conversion kit the only differences from the genuine hp will be the esc and motor combo and the wheels and tyres you running - 14mm or 17mm hexs. I got one and converted my savage 25.cost was just a tad ovr 300 to complete with lipos (careful buying and selling) And I love it
  7. Bashed it until a wheel came off again. Lol bloody wheel nuts came loose. Then realized hadnt got a wrench with me to tighten them up again oops. Bash over
  8. Yep defo the body first followed by a lower arm I say. Least thats how mine went lol
  9. What do you do with the throttle when jumping as this can affect its attitude whilst in flight. If you come of the throttle when you jump this will cause it to nose dive. Whereas nailing the throttle will cause it to nose up. I would check the top gear in the centre gearbox as they sometimes strip, there is a hd version of it available
  10. Fbi deals with America and internal surveillance. Cia deals with foreign surveillance etc
  11. Sometimes it's the battery, I had some from maplin which were branded maplin and wouldn't work in my tx. Turned out they had a thicker plastic coating which stopped them making good contact. I trimmed it of the end and found that they were actually made by a Aussie company and hade been rewrapped by maplin, so they had double thickness of plastic coating

    customs

    Biggest delay these days is customs. My parcel from the USA took 1.5 days to travel half way across the usa and then to the uk. But took 14 days to get through customs. Once through it was speedy again with parcel force
  13. Do you defo want the alloy bodies? As you can pick the plastic big bores up from
  14. You'll need fill them with oil, it says oil needed in the description. They seem to come with everything else to fit and are pre built.
