    hypercharger ?

    in General - Nitro

    Utterly pointless. You don't even need a normal fan if you are geared correctly, let alone that gimmicky load of junk.

    It adds unnecessary weight and complexity, and saps some of your motor's power to drive the thing.

    About as much use as their ridiculous 'nitro supercharger' :rolleyes:

    A fool and his money.....

    They are better than the likes of Acme and HSP, but not up there with the big brands like HPI and Traxxas. What does make me laugh is when you get people slating BSD then singing the praises of FTX, when a lot of their stuff is exactly the same model with a different brand on the box!

    Savage x 4.6 shock advice please

    The 4x HPI Big Bores (as fitted to the later Savages) are a straight fit.

    The best possible shock upgrade on a Savage are Innovative RC Big Bore V2 shocks, but they are expensive and add a lot of weight. Absolutely love mine though.

    tires ballooning what glue?

    Has anyone drilled holes in their tyres to let air out and stop ballooning? i did this on my jato with hpi tyres on and it made the thing so much better to drive. i read it in rc car action, drill one hole in the centre of your tread and another opposite it.

    Ballooning isn't caused by air, it's caused by centrifugal force. The reason for drilling holes in the tyres and/or wheels is to provide somewhere for moisture and dirt to exit when the tyre spins up, and to help the tyre reshape after deforming. Nothing to do with ballooning.

    Thanks! No real updates to report, just been driving it and enjoying it. I absolutely love the way it handles, especially on loose dirt. Get on the brakes to initiate a slide, then back on the power for lovely controllable drifts. Despite my silly 1/8 stuff this is probably my most 'fun' RC at the moment :)

    Will be taking to a BMX track tomorrow, the track I'm going to has a small 'beginner' track that is ideal for smaller RCs, can't wait :)

    Installing IRC big bore shocks on savage flux?

    I found the standard spring rates spot on, sure they are stiffer than the stock springs but they add a lot of weight to the truck, so the extra stiffness compensates for that.

    As for your other issue, flipping the A-arms upside down puts the IRC mounting block on the lower side of the A-arms, thus lowering the bottom shock mounting position and giving the full stroke of the shocks without a comically high ride height. I've ran mine like that since fitting my shocks and it's never caused any problems, it works really well. Take a look at my Savage build thread to see what I mean (link in sig).
