My Feedback: (1)

I will be bashing alot so i need alot of durability but i will be also doing a little crawling so i narrowed the choices down to the mad force or th x factor. which one do you think woulkd be best. I am looking for a lot of durability, after market support and bashability/crawlability. thansk for you help. Also dont just tell me to get electric for crawling because i know elec is better but i like nitro much much more. Thanks again.

*note* I have not owned a savage, BUT from what I hear the savage is the basher's choice.

Savage is awesome for bashing, and can crawl as good as any nitro.... but better than most because of the susspesion set-up and high ground clearance.

Kemo

Hmm, if you want crawler, check out the XTM Xfactor (i think thats the name) truck or the Kyosho Madforce. They seem to be the kings of crawling today.

binaryterror

Stop making me laugh....the Independant trucks can not crawl nearly as well as the solid axle ones like the X-Factor and the Mad Force.

For crawling the X-Factor is simply the best RTR or kit available, makes the Savage look like crap in the rocks.

Same here, I have had a mad force and a savage and the savage cant go over the high rocks and sticks as well (or at all) like the mad force can. The mad force is a great choice.

look at a toyota people swap out the ifs in trucks for a solid because ifs sucks for almost all 4x4,it is good a bogging though cause you don't have the huge bulky axles

Kemo

Yeah this is kind of why I have a Kyosho MF on order (soon to have paid for). Its time for mad crawling and fun all around. I don't care what the other savage owners think about the MF, but what I know is that they can't get over what a MF can

just be careful make a custom mount for a comp fan on the cooling head this will keep to engine temps down

Kemo

Yeah thats the main negative with that engine, it LOVES heat. Do you have holes cut in the body to help ventilation?

oatmealman

My Feedback: (1)

i don't my body sits like 2 inch off the truck so i have no worries with overheating

Kemo

Ok now is that with or with out the added cpu fan? I'd like to keep this badboy as light as possible until i get a Mach 26 for it.

Traxxas revo bad ass truck(own 1) you can also throw the the 120mm rockers on it and with the suspension setup on it(F-1) style it supposed to crawl like the solid axles. Electronic shifting, means constant drive in forward and reverse + lighter transmission. Great truck , just some food for thought

Mxracer45

I thought you had a MGT????

Mxracer45

But anyways, out of the 2 you listed, the x-factor will be the best over all. I do think the mad force has more of a fun factor though. Whichever one you like best... pick that.

binaryterror

Between the MF and the XF I'd go X-F only because stock it is more ready to crawl with a better suspension (4 link rules over 2 link). But the Mad Force jumps better and hauls but!

Can the xf do wheelies on demand like them mad force, also is the xf durable and bashable. and mx racer, i do have an mgt like i said before but i want to also start ok crawling a little bit. o ya and u know those super charger thing, with the pulleys and stuff (rb concepts i think). Dont the create the airto go into the eengine, so like wen the rpms increase then the supercharger spins faster to get more air into the engine so you wouldnt need to worry about a las=ck of airflow through the air filter because the supercharger would be making the air and pucshing it to the engine. am i correct? Sorry for the lenthgy post.

Superchargers in RC are pointless... sure the idea is great but the ones made dont do crap except add weight.

2 words word check,i do have a fan on mine but i cureently am buying a 90mm from a comp shop down my street to keep it extra cool

Kemo

Awesome idea. I will note that as soon as I get the order finalized.

oatmealman

My Feedback: (1)

ya it will use quite abit of batteries but it will keep your engine alot cooler

Kemo

How many cells (and what size) are you using to keep that fan running?

oatmealman

My Feedback: (1)

i use a a 9v it doesn't last long but i don't know of anyother way to keep it cool[]

Kemo

Hmm i guess it would be time for me to look into a NiMH version 9v, that should run for the whole runtime right?
