  1. i request a side by side picture of both woofers please
    x2 compare the xl to this one :clapping:

    good luck with that as the sub is in the box, and it ain't coming out any time soon. and it makes my XL look like a bitch. it makes grady's level 5(that is sold and in dallas getting reconed) look kinda weak. the motor on the 6 is 11" across, its huge. level 5 is 9.8", 4XL is 8.75". level 5 is 80lbs, level 6 is 106lbs :o

  2. so far the key differences i see between this and the lv5 is

    4 inch coil

    different basket

    bigger top plate

    anything else to add?

    few questions are ... are the slugs physically wider? if so by how much? are they thicker slugs? if so by how much? i did do some searching but not a clean sweep? anyone have any answers? thanks

    its a wholly different beast than a level 5, we've been down that road. grady wants to be able to daily on about 7k, level 5 wouldn't appreciate that much :spiteful:

  3. i'm starting this thread for bassegg77 as i'm taking pics as we do this. grady(bassegg77) bought a level 6 motor and soft parts from rusty, then bought a tsns basket he found local and built the first level 6 18. this thing is gigantic! it doesn't even look real. its f-ing crazy! power will come from an atomic 7k, should get it to move :shok: will be playing tomorrow night, we still gotta make sure everything is cured and set up before we hammer on it. videos of the accent getting beaten to death should be nice. pics...

  4. Selling all my stuff. Have a couple revos, an older savage, a project tmaxx, an Ofna CRT. Truggies are the way to go. I used to race. I have a ton of parts and a ton of spares. I'm trying to get rid of everything. Worked at a hobby shop for a year and the hobby turned into more of a job than a hobby. Doesn't do what audio and my real car does for me now.

    for racing truggies are the way to go, but for bashing you can't beat a savage. i've back flipped mine into my neighbor's yard hundreds of times and all that ever let go was the tie rods would pop off sometimes(fixed that with a washer) but as for racing i got to use a buddies jammin x1 crt, and that was a smooth drive around the track very well balanced and handled nicely.

  5. pic when i first got it, and made some custom decals for it, i managed a sign shop at the time so i made my own logos and graphics for it.

    just as a suggestion steer clear of traxxas 3.3 powered cars, they have atendency to split the rod down the center and traxxas will make you send them the motor and charge you $115 to get a new one back. my slayer 3.3 had a rod split, i built a new motor with ebay parts. my 3.3 lasted maybe a half gallon, i didn't even get to lean it out before the rod failed.

  6. HPI Savage X 4.6 ftw! that has been my most reliable truck to date, bought it new and have only had to replace very minor stuff. upgrade to robinson racing hardened steel spur gear and clutch bell, get a hitec 7955 tg steering servo and a good 2.4ghz radio, and some better tires and wheels(i run proline dishes and proline bowtie tires on mine). oh and get a extra body, you'll need it, the stock one shreds pretty quick. and DO NOT run traxxas fuel, it sucks, makes the truck hard to tune. i've had awesome luck with byron's fuel(25%). i've had over 40 rc cars and trucks in the last 2 years, i've tried a little bit of everything, and savages are the best.
