try plugging it into the steering channel and see if it does the same thing. the only other thing i can think of is try changing the frame rate on your radio. the savox is a digital servo and should be able to run on fast frame rate, however try setting it for standard servos and see what...

so a little update, or maybe its a big update. either way, its ready to fire. i got my savage octane tuned pipe i had ordered, and ive got the header built to match it. i managed to find a metal supplier that stocks 3/4" aluminum mandrel bends, i used a 45 degree bend for the header, along with...

the avid taperbore design used in a lot of their brake systems is plagued with problems, much of it stems from a lack of fluid. in an effort to make them featherweight they reduced fluid capacity and it causes all sorts of issues. most say they have to bleed them every few months, when your pads...

i picked up a 2013 specialized stumpjumper comp evo 29er. it was a demo at a local shop and they had it on clearance. a good friend of mine had been looking at a norco range they had forever and he dragged me in to look at it, and after riding the stumpjumper and a norco sight, i ended up taking...

its sort of ended up on the shelf with the rest of my r/c stuff, at least for the time being. i bought a new mountain bike and have been enjoying the locals trails. i haven't had much time for r/c stuff because of it, however once the weather turns bad ill be back at the r/c stuff.

i say rushed to market because it seems like it wasnt quite ready. yes, they took more than 2 years from when they first teased us with it, and the core truck seems great, however to me they rushed the last details. they shouldnt have to have 3 bulletins on carb settings come out within a week...

its too early to determine that. a lot of people are having issues, however imo many of those people are trying to rush break in. ive read lots about people following the manual for break in they trying to run it at full throttle and it just wont stay running. others baby it for well over a...

just a little update, and no i haven't given up yet. ive been waiting for exhaust for it. i ordered a tuned pipe off ebay, a take off from a savage octane. long story short, it shows up and is a pipe off a nitro savage, so im back to waiting for the correct one. i did find some aluminum mandrel...

here is a few pics of pitgrunt's roll carge. ill let him fill in the details

yea it killed me to abandon the savage gasser, bit i just couldnt make it work.

some of you may remember my savage octane i was trying to build before hpi released the real one. you may also recall i abandoned that project because the starter setup was far to complex and problematic. i ended up tearing the engine out of the truck, tossing in an ofna 28 and i sold the...

chances are if you find one it'll be a several year old car thats sitting on a shelf that they still want top dollar for. check out rc-car-online.de, they arent canadian, they are in germany, however ive shipped stuff from them several times with no issues. will likely be your best bet for a...

the evo has its benifits, however if your just starting out with onroad racing a sportsline is more than enough car for club racing. being mostly plastic suspension its a lot more forgiving, and if you do break something its not quite as costly to repair. as for 2wd vs 4wd, see what your local...

the front mount transmission is an option, the chassis was first designed to run the trans in its stock location. the reasoning to go with the front motor/trans is purely for scale, it allows the end user to run a full interior kit as the motor is no longer in the way. yes it does raise the cg a...

we currently are only selling them locally, however we are working on an e-commerce site, and eventually will be available through our ebay store.

i really don't want to can this build either, i just have no idea what i can do differently to have a reliable starter setup. only thing i think will work properly is a pullstart, and that means machining a backplate for the engine, a starter shaft and a new crankshaft, let alone getting a...

i haven't forgotten about this project, ive been picking away, however ive run up against an unsurpassable road block. i just cant come up with any reliable way of starting it. my best success lasts 2-3 starts before something breaks, and most of the time something in the starter setup breaks...

i kinda had put it on hold as it was frustrating me to no end. i got the heat sink head built, and proceeded to break the starter setup before getting it running. i tried a few minor changes to it and still couldnt get it to work. i have one last design to try to get this thing started. ive...

ive been working for the past few months with a friend at Razor Customs developing a line of scx10 parts. with the chassis ready for production i figured it was time to show off our test rig. it starts off with our all billet aluminum chassis. the chassis can be used as a direct replacement for...

I remember the cooling fan, the pics from the nurberg hobby show this years how the cooling fan has been eliminated. With a proper heat sink I can't see needing one
