Hi guys, real quick question. Ive been looking for hours and cant find the answer. My rear wheels are leaning inward quite a bit. Is this normal ? I cant seem to find anywhere on the XS this can be adjusted. Any help would be awesome.

I would check the hinge pins. Last time I had excessive "camber" in the front, I had a broken hinge pin. If thats not it, then look for the slop (start behind the hex adapter with some shims) Ive noticed as I wear mine in, the wheels get more and more slop in them.

Hi guys just got my xs a week ago i was just able to drive it once cause of the bad weather. I have used it with my e revo vxls battery 2s 2200 mah 35-70c turnigy nanotech battery but after 5-10 minutes battery get way too hot then they are supposed to be and they got a little bigger. Why would that happen? I tought maybe because of impact then i put some soft materials in it that would prevent any kind of hard impact but i still have the problem. Btw I have 2x 2s 6000 mah nano tech turnigy on the way!!

hi guys i am a new savage owner but i have a problem:O my esc is not working properly when i plug the batt in i here a tone then all the lights start flashing and it keeps beeping i have no control of the car it just stays there. when i try to bind the radio i do all the procedures press the setup button on the esc and hold till i turn it on and the red led flashes for a second than take it off and bress the bind button on the radio but then the led must be constant red but it doesnt it keeps flashing then goes and and flashed slowly with long periods. what can the problem be? I think it is something with the reciver ? i am using a 2s lipo thx in advance btw i have that batt issue done i bought a new lipo with 6000mah 25c works great i get a runtime about 45-50 mins full throttle

So whats the deal with this truck? I want one but I dont want to be replacing electronics in a few weeks or months. I dont beat on my vehicles and want something thats gonna last. I plan on running nimhs and may go to lipo 2s only but if I need to worry about the esc giving up the ghost , then I want no parts of it.

do you have a specific batt in mind? I may pull the trigger tonight or tomorrow. I just wanted the reassurance that the problem was fixed. also on my search I found a cheap simple charger but it needs a power supply and most places are out of them, any idea where or what I can use? Thanks. Brian

Hi thanks well i found the problem there was water in the reciever box so i think the reciever got wet, i left it to dry now works as normal and by the way i think of getting the hpi geolanders has anyone tried those ? How are they on overall ofroad conditions not race. And how is the size ckmpared to the stock ines and do they require gear ratio change. ? Thanks

The Geolanders are a softer tire, more agressive, but not like the Pro-Line Badlands. I highly recommend the Badlands for any surface. They have amazing grip on any terrain, and do not wear fast at all. I can only see the Geolanders having a little more traction. I guess it all depends on what type of terrain you are running on. Either tire you decide on, gear changing is not necessary.

thanks for the information. i will be running on all terrains mud dirt grass road pavemnt soil maybe sand. which one will you reccomend for these kind of surfaces? do you mean the 3.2" or the 2.8" badlands? i guess 2.8" i will probably be getting them from ebay because i live in Turkey and the hobby stores here are just crap. wont the change in the tire size cause heat problems? what do you yourself use for ur xs? and i am using 2s batteries.are these the correct ones? www.ebay.com/itm/390547992362thanks and btw i really like your signature

With running on those terrains, I would recommend the Badlands. Not sure how they would do on sand tho. My XS is running the 2.2" Badlands. If you go to the 2.8" or 3.2" ones, you will have heat/gearing problems, but I don't see why you would need any tire size other than a 2.2" for this truck.
I couldn't click the ebay link cause my work blocks it lol, but as long as it is a 25c minimum lipo, you will have no problems.
