Hey guys post some pics of your work areas. I think we could guess what buds looks like ..... i have 2 areas one in the basement and one in my room.... heres some pics of them..... total rc's:11 (including the helicopter) not bad for 13 years of age

I bought the RTR . I have tons of experience with nitro, but little with roto start. My roto start will not turn the engine. It seems as if it does not have enough power. Could it be the battery pack? I would find it hard to believe that they would supply a roto start that can't turn the engine over. I am still breaking in the engine, so maybe it is still too tight. A cordless drill turns it ...

I laid out all the parts this morning and I think I have everything to build a new XL except , radio tray and lid, fuel tank hangers, skid plates, exhaust mount, bumpers and servos. I probably have the servos. I have a new Picco 28 on the way and I would like to find a shorter buggy header. I have flywheels, bearings, screws and clutches here. I will have a project to build this week ...

Hey guys... I'm new to RC and just got a Revo with a Sirio .23 in it. They previous owner had a JR pipe on it but when I took it off to clean up the truck I noticed a large dent in the bottom... so I'm looking to get a new pipe. Any suggestions? I've seen the Trinity and the THS are popular. Just wanted some opinions. Thanks.

I love old trucks. I owned "real" 55, 69 and 72 Chevy pickups when I was younger, so you can say that I have a soft spot for them. Here's my latest body, a Proline 1950 Chevy. It was sprayed in Pactra rattle can metallic red.

Hi all, Do anyone of you now if the diff's on the SavageX SS kit come with filled diff-oil??

hey ,read in the manuel. were my xl needs to be ran no higher than 250f mine runs on a avarage of 260-275. i've got great lubrication and power to spare. i am very new to r/c, but from all the tuning vids i've seen and all other info i've garthered, its running really well, will this higher temp ruin my motor ?

Recently back in the hobby after about a 15 year break and purchased a stampede last year, looking to get my first nitro truck and I'm really leaning towards a savage for the bashing and hop-ups available. The question is this, I'm looking at buying the X SS kit as I enjoy building, I'm curious if I'm better off waiting to see what comes out new in 09. Being in Canada and also really busy with ...

Hey guys!! Thought I'd share.... I gotta tell ya… I sometimes read people saying that they are selling their Savage because they have no time to use it. I always wonder how that is possible. How hard is it? Well, I now understand. I NEVER have time to run my Savage. A 3 year old and a 1 year old will do that. Well, I decided to take some time and go for a burn. Charged up all the ...

Wondering Hoss ... why and when is any question asked to a potential AMA candidate consinder un-serious? Afterall you are by far the most outspoken voice on this forum who claims the AMA ...

Is there an AMA rule against standing next to your airplane while it is hovering?(NOT touching the airplane). An example would be a demo pilot walking out onto the runway within a few feet of his hovering 40%. No one else flying or within 25 feet of the aircraft. I have seen this done on several occasions when a pilot is doing a demo or is the only one flying, and have heard that is against AMA ...

Savage number 7 arrived today, it is an XL with an orange body, no radio gear and a note that says it takes off in 2nd and will not wheelie. I put it on the charger for a run this evening. I am going back to bed for a few hours and we will go see what she does, or does not do. I did pull the head and the sleeve looks good, so hopefully the engine has no damage. I should know a lot more ...
