Nice looking rig Joey!

FrickenJoey

Thanks... and that is a damn sexy pipe too. I think that one was one of the very first side bleeds you sold. I think it was mid January 2010?

Wheres the battery? Is it in the back with the reciever? Whats the rx box out of? It looks sweet!

FrickenJoey

Yes the battery and receiver are both in the back. It is the radio box from a E-Savage which was a 1/10 scale. Well it was actually the HB version which was called the E-Zilla I think.

Donovanholroyd

Cool. Thanks.

Borneoben

Thats a nice conversion, i like it allot.

FrickenJoey

I went though about 10 different radio boxes in many different locations and this one just seemed to fit perfect in between the massive LST shocks. To me it just made sense. It was in the bargain bin at my LHS when I lived in Japan so I gave it a shot and it was finally a winner. Here is a link to one on Tower hobbies.

ok this is my savage I just actually got this thing and already roto start problems with a brand new 1 way bearing..... anybody help me with this? its not flooded it keeps spinning wth no engine turnover im new to this so im scared to pull it apart before knowing what to look for I might lose parts.... it has a bunch of stuff done to is the 1 thing I like is the 3 speed tranny on it. somebody help me please! I have an extra tranny with this thing and a whole mess of other parts that I know nothing about..

Tweaked-007

yea just open up the back of your motor and replace the one way bearing and oneway bearing shaft, possibly the gears in the plastic cover too they get worn out over time, there all a very easy job to do. Same thing happen to me when I bought mine. Bad thing about buying used is your always going to have to fix things. Your prob going to want to open up your diff too and check them out, there prob dry so put some diff oil in there.

Is that a cen pipe? Man that reminds me of an on going joke back in the day about cen pipes lol.

Tweaked-007

yea thats a cen pipe, I havent drove the truck yet with the pipe. I saw a vid. on youtube with a guy running a cen pipe and a 5.9 and it seemed alot more peppier then the stock pipe. What was the on going joke about the pipe? lol Im fairly new to the game and trying to get up to date with alot ya know.

Ok an update with my build, just finished a FLM build with the wide axle kit and now just waiting for the mugen tank and the cen radio box now.

From what I remember it was this one guy claiming that the cen pipe was a vast improvement over other pipes until others with good knowledge of engines and pipes started saying that he must have been using it to smoke drugs and stuff. Afterwards, each time he claimed something was better than something else the pipe would get mentioned. I'm sure you could look up cen pipe in this section and find something but this was quite a few years ago, like maybe 5 years or so.

I've seen people like that in this website. I think they get paid to say that something is good.

Lol me too, well here's the update on my savages
