somerandomguy Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Especially gas ones. Anybody here into them? Does anybody have one.. or has had one? After seeing that I can get an..okay.. system for less than my budget, I have decided that I will most likely spend the rest on a gas powered r/c car...so if anybody has one or has one either reply or pm please as I have some questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sic_fx Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 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.

sic_fx Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 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. how it looks now 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.

Blackedout Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) 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. Edited January 3, 2010 by JDirty96 Quote Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

somerandomguy Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Sorry guys, don't want to buy used I used to love gas ones, but since I've posted this all I've done is look around at different ones. I like the traxxes summit (electric) what do you guys think about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
