uncontrollable savage
i was racing earlier today and my savage at full speed seemed to be faster than normal, basically i was keeping about the same speed as my nitro rustler, but the problem was the back starts to fish-tail now, its almost like the tires are puffing and then gliding.
do i have it over-tuned? or is there something i need to get to keep it from gliding off the road? and finally what is the best tire for traction?, i plan on doing a tug of war with an emaxx soon and putting it on video i know i have enough power to beat it i just want to make sure i have the traction part covered as it will be the most important part.

RE: uncontrollable savage
If your rear diff oil is heavier then the front it will be squirlly (sp) if your using the stock grease then it's prolly just stretched past it's limits and needs to be replaced.

RE: uncontrollable savage
Does it have any sort of wobble? If so could be bent dogbone, water in tires, or glue coming off tire, ect........ As far as the speed factor. They say the 2 stroke runs it's best when it's on the verge of blowing up.

RE: uncontrollable savage
just a note: i put adjustable uper arms on my rear and toed them in just a little. It really helps get me throug the apex. (thats the turn) oh and i posted this in a dif thred. the hpi fomies that come stock suck! they have a seam that can come apart. it has on two of my tires. i took the time and used ca remover and a hobby knife to remove the tires and replace those sad fomies.
what will happen is that they bunch up on high speeds and sometimes they will go back to normal so you can figure out why your rear slides out on you .
just a thought hope it helps
