dhyde79

they're all built in a 2 speed gearbox, you've got to disassemble to change 2nd gear shift point I believe....

Parputt537

Did a few upgrades/repairs over the last few days:

yeah my 3 speed trans. has only 2 holes on the side and even then i can only get to one of them. right after i adjusted the first screw on the right side thoug the savage wont roll backwards now for some reason. is that normal?im guessing its not but just in case im asking

Nick, for carbon fiber here are a few sources:

Turnbuckles and hingepins: JDCarbon, he used to sell on ebay but I think he doesnt anymore, his site is still up so I'm assuming hes still in business. I have his buckles and pins and they are top notch! I got the turnbuckles for $11 shipped and pins for $3 shipped[8D] But his regular prices are expensive..

Fullforce R/C: They make carbon TVP's, hingepin braces which I want too, and something else I forgot.

There are a few others but I cant seem to remember, if I do I'll post again

nothinbetr2do

Finished my new shell this morning:






Love the shell drivefastgto. Most of those I see people do not take the time to spray the jerry cans. Looks really nice!

drivefastgto

Thanks a lot. I just had to paint the cans-why get such a cool shell and not detail it?

BTW, I brush-painted the cans and fenders...no airbrush or experience with such. [sm=red_smile.gif]

Parputt537

I do all my shells with a rattle can. I have only done solid color so far, but for something that is only going to last a month or two I see no reason to put hours of work into them anyway.

mazdab2600

agreed.
so everuone keep the awsome paint jobs coming.
till i find a body that i want to spend 3-4 days painting.

mr.lexx

does anybody know where I can find those little wire, or strings that are attached to the body pins like the one on parputt537`s truck. They look cool; or did he just make it himself? if so what did he make from.

mr.lexx

oh, and does the receiver still work ok even with the antenna pipe bent in like that, cause I have a B-17 betty body that my parents got me for christmas and I think it looks cooler without the antenna whole. I want to know this before I paint it. I am going to post pics of my truck after I paint my body and a couple of other stuff come in the mail.

mazdab2600

body clip retainer's from dubro.
part #'s then you can get them where ever.

all my trucks have the antenna tucked under the body.
as for distance. i have no problems being at least 200 ft away.

mounting the antenna.
not sure what this part was meant for but this is how i used it.

drivefastgto

My antenna wire is pretty short, it doesn't need to be long with a Spektrum. That's why I tucked it under the rollbar.[8D]

mr.lexx

thanks alot!!

Parputt537

The wires I use are actually 6inch stainless fishing leader (coated in black plastic of some kind). I had the dubro ones, but they just ripped after a day of bashing. You can get a pack of leaders for nothing and they last forever. Just cut the swivels off the end and put you clips on. Use a zip tie to secure to body. I have a set on my old body that have outlasted the body.

My 4.6 RTR, only had it a few days, engine broken in fine, tuned to near perfection ( much better for tuning than a trx 2.5 ! ), added some GRP Dish wheels with tyres , have the porsche cayenne hpi shell ready to paint black/yellow just need to make myself some vinal masks up.

Be nice..

Finally got off my duff and painted my new body its an axial diablo body.

SportsFans

Looks good! Got to love the chrome!

mr.lexx

SportsFans

Nice job on the Betty, Love the color choice!!!

Saosin57

Lol, who doesn't love that color combo! Here's my Savage X SS, just a 14 year old kid messing around with masking tape and rattle cans.
