  1. I will check the servo horn tonight then. Just unscrew lift off and look underneath it I guess. Is there an alternative/hop-up metal one for it so I don't have the same problem again?
  2. Hi all, Prob taken mt out 4 times now and for no more than 10 mins each time. Last time was Saturday and was cut short by the lack of response from the trigger (acceleration) I took the shell off and thought at first I was missing some sort of collette on the throttle link arm, but I'm not or atleast don't think so. When I pull the trigger it moves fine, but now only once every 10 or so pulls??? I'm confused. Does anyone have a picture of what the set up looks like from servo to link arm inc. spring / locking adj collette etc please so I can double check everything is where it is supposed to be. Is this maybe a servo problem? I have both trims set at 7/10 as I was cautious about the servo breaking, but have the latest version and are metal geared. I know the steering servos are 20kg and I think the throttle one is 9kg?. I've changed both Tx and Hump pack batteries and still same. The steering works perfectly. The breaks have not worked since I've owned it (6 weeks) not very well anyway, but was going to attempt setting them up correctly once fully run in. Am I doing something wrong? Has something come loose? Not got set up right? All ideas welcomed. Many Thanks, Andy
  3. Gutted. No body parts in 3rd pic...
  4. Well, I got in to RC about 6-7 years ago? When the savage25 came out. Went mad on it with hop ups etc for a couple of years then left it alone until I bought my youngest lad a ftx carnage brushed for xmas to see if he would get in to it (just wanted him out of the house instead of being on bloody consoles / pads / phone indoors all the time) and since purchasing the ftx mid December I bought a second hand Losi desert truggy for my daughter so she could come out with us and because my savvy hadn't been serviced since a few years back I also bought myself a Mav Blkout MT and am mad for it again lol HELP!
  5. Good answer. I have v3 and have not had any of the previous release model issues. Blackout MT for the win!
  6. Looking forward to some feedback on this as fits the mav blkt mt.
  7. quarry sites sounds like a plan!
  8. Hi all, I have a losi as above and one of the front wheels has a lot of play in it. Worn I guess as I've tightened the nut. Is there a wheel / tyre combo other than the losi wheel that fits? Just unable to locate any on fleabay. Cheers,
  9. After reading this thread I ventured in to the garage where my Savvy25 has been sat for nearly 4 years (on its feet). Inspected the tyres, all seemed ok, no flat spots, got her started and ran her for a tank and can honestly say there was no vibration or abnormal driving etc. Prob wouldn't worry too much about flat spotting rc tyres to be honest going by my findings. My truck has D compound hpi ground assault race tyres on her which are soft, but am unsure what foams come with the tyres as standard, could be relatively firm I guess hence no flat spots ???
  10. I've got the maverick blackout mt and looks well made. I'm yet to run it as been busy over the festive period and am hoping to get her out this weekend. I'll post up some pics / vid if I can although it won't be terribly exciting as she takes a tank to run in. Unable to comment on the losi, but they are renouned for making excellent trucks so would defo be a concideration also. Goodluck with your choice of truck, let us know which you steer towards.
