I got a GREAT deal on this little beast!

é o pneu masher 2000?

voce precisou fazer gear down?

@@@@

He was running today and started making noises, strange crackling. I stopped, took apart the engine ... and that engranagem this way:

A 6-eaten teeth, left a bit on top ...

this may have been caused by the 4 bumpers that added? OMG ...

buy this part of hotracing? hpi or stock?

HPI105813 Idler Gear 32t-56t costs 6,99

the same by hotracing costs 20,00 too expensive, I can buy three gears of hpi

Can someone shed some light on how to program the ESC? My bullet flux has the Mode Table in the manual but the XS doesn't have a table that shows all the ESC modes and options for change. I don't want to have to buy a ESC program card.

I use a hobbywing 80A esc with no problem once you remove the stock esc mount. just zip tie it down.

So I'm thinking of finally getting an SS kit, anything I should know?

Don't do as I did,

ordered a toro 80a esc to find it won't fit in the very tight space allocated for the esc on the xs,

Most 60a esc fit without issues though,

Have yet to run mine as I'm waiting on the 60a esc to arrive,

Yea the 80a esc will fit in the space,

but is as tall as the roll bar/carry handle leaving it very exposed if you do any bashing.

Anyone know what this noise might be?

I opened that box and everything ok ta ... also open that part smaller, and everything is right with the gears, but doing this weird noise ...

This is the rear differential.
The front works without noise.

This Dogbones without connecting to the engine, I also pulled the engine ... finally. this light and loose.

Has anyone found a permanent fix for our drive cup problem? I've read reports of the HR drive cups breaking as well.

Ha! Run it with a NiMH battery. Either that or JB weld the dogbones into the drivecups. The biggest issue to failing drivecups is the slop. If the slop can be taken care of, it should fix the problem. Either that or CVD's will take care of it. With the pins on the dogbones not fitting tight into the cup, it allows them to "snap" to seat itself to get power to the wheels. Overtime, it leave indents in the cup and weakens it.

The cupjoint of hotracing breaks?

Mine arrived this week ... still not installed '-'

Only solution is to spend JB? Durepox? But it will be very rigid ...

I haven't tried the HotRacing cups, but I have heard in several instances that they can break also. JB weld or permanently fixing them to the cups will work. But it will be difficult to JB weld the cups coming out of the transmission. My diff cups are still perfect. Its the 4 outer cups, center cups, and the cups that go to the diffs are the ones that wear. I'm sure there are other ways to fix them, but the main thing to do is to stop the dogbone from moving in the cups. Shims, foam, something. See the picture. If you stop the pins from doing this to the cups, problem solved. Doesn't matter how you do it tho.

Pull the diff apart. I didn't watch the video, but if anyhting makes a noice that's not natural, pull it apart. Mine makes a clicking sound. So I took the rear diff apart and found a missing tooth on the ring/bevel gear.

Here is a link with a Savage xs build that had problems with the HR cups. I think I'm stubborn and loyal to the Savage, which is why I won't give up on it yet!!!

Hrmm.. I wonder if I can try fuel tubing, or even a hard play-dough like putty I can use to prevent the dogbones from rubbing... silly putty lolz.

I'll search around for a compatible part later on tonight. There MUST be a high-end truggy such as a Kyosho or Mugen drive cup we can use instead.

Well you can either buy expensive drive cups (which for a high end one might cost you) or just shove some kind of good in the cup and jam dogbone in it and put it all back together. Silly putty might not be a bad idea. use something maliable that wont come off inside the cup at high rpms.

Yea that definitely looks more sturdy than the stock cups. The stock cups split too due to the slot for the pins. HPI should just make CVD's for the XS and it will solve everyones problem for the diff and axle cups. now the center cups would need a new design.

Those cups in the picture are stock hpi Baja cups with a hardened steel band slid over them,

My xs cups don't even look used yet and being the ss it's has cvd's at the wheels,

If the cups are breaking on the xs, an after market company would make some easy money providing cups with the steel bands in place.

If they had those cups for the output of the tranny, and made cvd's for the inner and outer axles, i would definitely spend the money

About gear, 24T and 60T decreasing to help?

hey guys finally back home (toronto) after 3 months in kansas for work. Ive been out of the loop since then but is there anyway to increase ground clearnace on the xs? I need more height when I bash during the winter to avoid snow build up.

Edit: noticed an odd noise on my xs and though it was coming from the gear box but i think is from the wear on the drive cups:

ill order those HR Hardened drivecups but how I remove the drive cups? Ialready removed the screwshafts but the drivecups wont budge

Remove the screws from cupjoints and then pull them out. Simple as that.

one that has a spring clutch, needs more strength ... Last time I opened I used a screwdriver to move it out

upon setting my order for the HR hardened centre cups I realize ive been negalecting my xs since built my stampede 4x4 with mmp+3800kv, teknos all around etc.

This is my list so far to strengthen my lil xs, let me know if need to add anything else:
HPI Universal Drive shaft set instead of HR hardened centre cups
Alum. heat sink Motor Plate
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Body HPI106704 (thinking white/black tone)
CC3800KV motor

Current hopups: Powerstroke shocks, tbone bumpers, traxxas turnbuckle mod, traxxas servo, geolander+hpi wheels

@Thiagooo
Yea the geolander's are great! prob the best tires listed in the Option Parts list on the HPI website.
I was hesitant before buying since I wanted to order the Mashers 2.2 or the Dirt Hawgs but I didnt want to wait for it to ship and the geos were in stock at my lhs.

Its great on grass, pavement and dirt but not so well in snow. Had the tire for a year with little wear after 25+ runs on 2S
