yeah that is probably true about the houston shops i have 2 near me one is ok but usually understocked and at the other one the people are just idiots but that one is where the track is.....i really hope it snows i have never gotten to run in the snow before and my truck is already waterproofed and ready to go

hey guys i was just surfing the internet and came across this pic, i have never seen anything like this before, does any body know how this could happen??? just a little curious

found this video as well tell me wat you guys think http://media.putfile.com/Savage-Crash

wow thats mad maybe he landed it straight on the heatsink ?????[X(]

and on the vid notice towards the end he kicks it a few times and then goes down to fix it!!!!lol

IF I WERE THE CAMERA MAN I WOULD SLAP THAT KID SILLY U NEVER KICK A RC CAR ABOUT LOL i dont no i dont think u can do that .i bet he took a hammer to it. engines are to strong to snap like that

maybe the engine was bad to start out with. there might have been a smal crack allready.


i went outside today and i actually got my t-15 to run sooo good.felt like a different engine.. anyway.. i actually managed to get the mt2 on 2 wheels one side like u can do on a savage. man i should a took a vid

crank cases are pretty strong but can and have known to snap from over rcs crashing in to them, and landing on the heat-sink at high speed or high impact. and i dont think the kid in the video should own a rc if he is going to kick it about. what was he expecting when he was not pulsen the throttle to keep it level while the savage had "air time".

my car is running great with the new power plant. the main differences it has made are the low end punch and top end speed of course, i have not had over-heating problems and random stalling. and i have not had to tune it since christmas (when i got the engine). it took me around 5-10minutes to tune to best performance.

dont know if you've seen the videos of it running...

i will be making a high quality video very soon. just need to wait for the bad weather to clear and grass to dry up plus i need to get some batteries for my camera.

That’s the worst I have seen and I am sure it is from landing hard on the head. Have heard of many cracking cases. Keep in mind a Savage is around 12 pounds with out batteries or fuel. This is why on the X the have the engine protector now. I have one on my Savage 4.6SS.

yay your back lol. i thought you had deserted us and just left. i got a email from a admin about my avator too! [X(]

OMG 46U IS BACK... YAY I THOUGH U DITCHED US... YAYAYAYAYAYAYA

hey 46u wat u think of running this tuned pipe on the mt2 wif os 18 cv-rx
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGFH5&P=7

that pipe will only fit 1/8th scale trucks like the savage. and will be hard to fit on to the mt2 which is a 1/10th scale

that pipe is probably tuned for big block engines and i would suspect that if you tried to run it on a small block you mite lose compression, you would be better off gettin a pipe tuned for a small block and even beeter if you got a pipe specifically tuned for the 18cv-r

thats the thing it can be made shorter and is made for .18 and .21and ive already got a plan to fit it
the cool thing about it is that u can choose between high torque wif great fuel economy or high speed (4 settings)

really thats sound pretty cool post a link on where to get one for a .18 size engine, and by the way you can tune it for torque or fuel economy..the higher the torque the more fuel its gunna guzzle

the link to tower hobbies is the one i got from my local hs the shelf price is R700 but i got it for R350

what is r700 and r350, some kind of store credit???

south african money i think [&:]

ohh ok

Question: The Savage crash in that video was pretty bad. How come the chassis just snapped? Is the Savage chassis made of plastic or something?

no it just landed at just the right angle to snap the screws it looks like

I agree with the others that is a big block pipe and I am not crazy about that brand or a pipe with dual stingers. No I am around just been real busy working on my 1 to 1 car getting ready to go around Georgia to other tracks to race. I have not been on a track in 3 months and I sure do miss it.

I drove 50 miles today to go to a track to practice and wouldn’t you know it with the luck I have the track was all tore up where they are making chances and maintenance. So I call a guy at another track a little farther away and they are doing the same thing. If I do not get back to racing soon I do not know what I will do.

I have never had a problem with my Savage chassis and did not see the video but I do no if you make an absurd jump and do not land correctly it can be bad. But this is true with all vehicles. If any one needs to get in touch with me or has a question you can all ways PM me and I will get back with you.

I just looked at the Savage video and it looked like to me there where not any screws holding the back section on. It was not the chassis that broke either the idiot did not notice the screws where missing or it was staged!!!!!!!!

anyone just post adecent pipe that doesnt cut upyour wallet.... and wut would happen if you increased the length of your stinger with a fuel line

well what your price range
