RE: When people ask you...

I've been in that situation at work. I let the guy fly it...and it crashed. Probably the most violent crash I've seen. I chaulked it up as a lesson learned. My fault for being "dumb".

I won't...

RE: G90 Gyro on CPP

I just made the move from the CX2 to the CP+ last Friday. My first test flight was nerve racking. Trying to get it to hover was like trying to walk a greased tight rope. I think it took me at least 8...

RE: Brand new SAVAGE 25

They are good about that. I cracked mine at about the 5th tank. I called them and they sent me a new one for free.

RE: Steering Problem, Maybe?

I've been running RC cars and trucks for over 15 years. This is the classic sign of a gear stripping inside of the servo. You may still get steering action when the truck is moving. But when the...

RE: Brand new SAVAGE 25

bbentley40 is right. If you do decide to use the pull start wear a glove on the pull start hand so you won't get any blisters. It will take quite a few pulls till you get it started. I went with the...

RE: ROTOSTART

What rotostart system are you using? Clutching mechanism? The Rotostart does not have a clutching system. If it does it is a poor design. It is a hand held straight forward geared down motorized...

RE: whats a good electric rock climper?

Just like Inv3ctiv3 said no truck is good for rock crawling out of the box. But I owned a Juggenaut 2 with the ESP long wheelbase suspension kit. It only cost me $85 for the kit and $20 for the 4"...

RE: Denatured Alcohol / Spray Bottle (Quick Questions)

Make sure you remove your wheels first. If you spray the alcohal on the wheels it will strip the chrome plating off. It happened to my buddy last week. No one warned him about that. I first spray the...

RE: Savage SS Motor Compression - OUCH!

I agree with jigsawking. The variable speed drill is a good idea. Just slip the rotostart shaft in the drill chuck. I've put my pull-start back on. Haven't run into any problems with breaking the...

RE: Savage SS Motor Compression - OUCH!

I totally agree with you on that ZipZap. I too found a crack on the hex housing. I also found two plastic splines on the inside of my the bearing broken. I had no choice but to go with a new one. I...

RE: Savage SS Motor Compression - OUCH!

Sounds like the same exact problem I had when it first started.

The bearing is shot. It may lock and engage a couple of times here and there, but that is just the begining. It's just starting...

RE: Savage SS Motor Compression - OUCH!

I just had the same exact problem with my new Savage. The Rotostart has to much torque and will hammer on the bearing when trying to start it during break-in. The Tmaxx .15 motor uses the same exact...

RE: savage pullstart bearing

Thanks guys for all the help and suggestions.

Popa 71 is right. I would pull out the bearing and clean it with WD-40. It would work for a couple of starts but would start to spin again. Non the...

RE: I now know why t-maxxes break more than savages

I think some of you guys are missing the point. He said he sees "why t-maxxes break more". Yes the savage is a 1/8 scale and of course it will have bigger thicker parts. Bigger thicker parts means...
