I am getting a STS 30 hopefully tomorrow. I was wondering if you guys could recomend the best pipe, best clutch bell, I got the stock flywheel for the savage 21. will that fit or do i need to use something diffent, if so what? If you could include the manufaturer, that would be sweet too! Once I get everything set up i will post pic and results.

are you looking for the absolute best set up or just some good stuff...


im not sure of the absolute best set up but id say that mugen clutch shoes, and maybe like a Tsais tuned, or fantom.

I run the HPI Polished Pipe, but supposedly the STS .28+ pipe works best, that's what I've heard. I run the HPI 18 tooth CB and HPI Flywheel (3 shoe) and [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/HPI-Savage-X-Aluminum-Race-Adjustable-Clutch-Shoes_W0QQitemZ6047141836QQihZ009QQcategoryZ34063Q QtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem]Nova 3 Shoe Adjustable Clutch Shoes[/link] and Mugen 1.0mm Springs. This is on my STS 28 BTW.

I want my truck to be the best, but money does not come easy since I am in pipe laying/excavation and frost is comming, that's why I was hopeing my HPi flywheel would work, it's brand new. Anyone test the "bling racing alloy clutch shoes"?

if your going to get a sts 30 get a better pipe somthing with dual stingers. because the sts is so biig like this http://www.killerhobbies.com/items/t...00b-detail.htm all u have to do is put the manafold u aready have on it. also i use mugen shoes with 1mm springs

STS 30, STS tuned pipe, STS 7075 aluminum Shoes, And a stage 2 mod job.... PM me if your interested on the price ? its pretty low...

Here what I am looking at so far, HPI 77110 vented 20 tooth bell, ofna 10410 shim kit, mugen c0708 1.0 mm springs. What do you guys think of that? It's wheelies and bashing, jumps and things of that nature I'm going for. I have a 3 speed, BTW.

benzzyo5

all that sounds good but the gearing, i'd go with a 17 vented bell, and a 47 spiur. but everything else sounds good

joeseif

the 17 will make more lowend right?

benzzyo5

yeah but the 47 spur will make up for it. what spur are u using

joeseif

49 tooth right now, but that's with the truckzilla engine, the sts is still on it's way.

benzzyo5

u cab try 20 tooth bell and a 47 spur? that might a little over kill. 20/49 will be very tight. u might not be able to mesh it correctly. i have a axial .28 with 17/49 and it's right up againsed the tvp. so 20/49 will probably not fit. thats why i say go with 17/47, or another good caombo. is 18/47 my axial wheelie like crazywith 17/47 and u have a sts .30 . it's up to u what ever bell u get i think u should get a 47 spur. like 18/47

who makes the best bearings for the clutch bell, i just bought an hpi vented 17t

Revo Eater

I use cheap bearings $1 each. And change them about every gallon. Works great!

SAVAGEJIM

I bought Trazzas bearings of the same size for my daily basher. I had them for almost 6 months and no problems; of course I lube them as part of dialy shut down. Now that you guys bring it up, I will go ahead and replace them anyways; 6 months is a long time.

joeseif

will the sts #0403 pipe work well? is that the best sts pipe for the job?

benzzyo5

as for clutch bell bearing i'd get them from hre very cheap. http://www.avidrc.com/?action=item&i...=1&prevstart=0

and i'd get this pipe just use the stock header with it http://www.killerhobbies.com/items/T...00b-detail.htm

joeseif

benny, the stock header that i have is the wrong type. it's the kind that you use the rubber with. the bearings are very cool how ever.

joeseif

how about this pipe?

joeseif

or what about a Tsais dual exhaust pipe like in this post: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4958878/tm.htm
WOW what truck

supertib

STS tuned pipe is the one you want.

My Feedback: (3)

The STS pipe is a good pipe and I run it on my buggy but really is not made to be mounted on a Savage as the pressure fitting is really in the wrong location. Would be fine if mounted on the left side like on my buggy.

joeseif

well it's a little late to turn back now it's bought and paid for.
