Status: offline 		no, but if you are still using the white clip-together plugs, they are the problem. Junk. Get hot, deform, bad contacting inside, and all the rest. I'm telling you it's the plugs from experience and countless others that have had the same issues.

Yes, it's normal to break them out of the box. They are just about the weakest part of the drivetrain. HPI released new black ones that are much stronger, they break far less often.

As for axles, either replace them with T-maxx shafts or get CVDs.


whould those on the nitros(savage) fit on the esavage?

I am pretty sure that is a definite no, the nitro savage is a 1/8th scale. the E-savage is a 1/10th scale.
