Savage XL - Shocks and Radio Gear Upgrade
What is usually the best suspension / shock setup for a Savage XL. 4 or 8 Big Bores, 8 Stock, 4 Stock + 4 Big Bore like the way it is in the photo or different shocks. I tried it with just 4 of the bigger shocks however the ride height seemed to sit a bit low and was squishy. Is this to do with the springs and shock oil? Also interested in upgrading the Radio Gear to 2.4ghz as its currently still AM 27Mhz (HPI RF-1 Receiver & Acme 27mhz AM Transmitter) and the servos (HPI SF-1 and HPI SF-5 steering). What would be the best overall Transmitter/Receiver. Was looking at a TF-45 / RF-45 or a more expensive option like a Spektrum, Futaba….. (probably used) around/under £/$ 100 or so.If I wanted to upgrade the steering (Torque) and throttle (Speed) servos what would be a good option. Looking at Hitec servos or Savox like a SC-1256 and 1258 but not sure….Thanks
