Man another super low Savage. Man that's tight! looks slightly towed out up front, a simple adjustment.
really nice!

If hes breaking drive shafts to the wheels especially the rear one its beacause of too much torque. Loosening up the slipper a 1/4 of a turn from tight can elp. Also landing while on the gas can cause them to snap. Tell him to let off the trigger while in the air unless he needs to correct his flight. Landing crookedly can also snap the HD dog bones. I switched to the standard dogbones beacause they dont snap, but they can twist just like any RC truck. The best solution is CVD's all around. CVD will remove slop in the drivetrain and move smoother.

. I think he has been a really bad driver (intentionally) so that is part of his problem. It may also be a manufacturing defect, not shure. Now I have decided on a savage 4.6 [8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D][8D]. You get the idea, I want to REVIEW my list of parts with ya guys, to make shure nothing is left out, not going to work... calvin

RE: PICS OF YOUR SAVAGES !!
IMO CVD's for the savy are THE BIGGEST waste of $$ u could EVER EVER spend......I cant belive ur actually reccomending them to this guy.....GUYS the stock Black bones are the Best u can get for the dollar...HD bones snap CVD's bend/snap/slop out...U joints are a Joke....so dont waste ur time/money/effort to switch to CVD's.......CVD's are meant for Truggy's/Buggy's with little suspension Atticulation compared to the Savy.

Thanks guys. And no it's not airbrush, I can get the same effects in some instances with a can and some creativity. I just can't part with the money for the airbrush set. So it's done all by can.
