Status: offline 		I have a Savage 25 thats in need of a new set of TVPs. Will the Savage X TVPs be a direct installation, or will it require anything? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Give up options on TVPs to go with a weaker RC, sounds like bad advice to me.

Status: offline 		My buddy has a revo, it's fast too but if you land on the lid the motor gets shoved down and you have to reset the mesh. That is a design flaw to me. And yes, the motor mount adjustment screw is tight.

Status: online 		Tower Terrors have the same design flaw. You would think with four chassis screws securing them to the side plates, it would survive a lid landing. Not so, it stuffs the engine down in the chassis and binds up the spur. The good news is that the spurs are extremely tough and never get damaged. They sure are fun to run though! BB
