Default Savage broken uprights

Does any of you savage owners also suffer broken uprights and turnbuckels ? The Savage is a powerful truck, before you know it you are racing it real hard, isn't it ?

It seems to me that the uprights and turnbuckles cannot handle all the power. I had my truck for about 2 months and I've broken 4 uprights and turnbuckles. Do you have the same problem or is it just me having two left hands ?

I can't wait for my LHS to have the aluminium parts. any of you guys have the aluminiums and are they good and strong ?

Thancks. David. :spinnyeye

are those old uprights, or upgraded uprights?

if they are old, send them back to HPI, they will replace them with

upgraded ones

they are old ! In Belgium we don't have a HPI center. I have to send it to United Kingdom, and that's too expensive. I might as well buy the new hubs.(cheaper)

thancks Landshark.
