This winter my good friend gifted me his used 2wd nitro rustler because he didn't want it anymore, he said he beat it up and wasn't great at maintenance. I am a beginner at nitro RC as well this being my first ever car. He left fuel in the lines over winter, and the grey drivetrain next to the...

Hey all. We have a Savage X 4.6, and have some questions on the slipper clutch. Forgive me if these are ignorant questions--I'm a buggy/truggy guy so used to a center diff...and the MT design as a whole is something I'm still feeling my way around. 1. Our Savage has about 2 gallons through...

I got my 5sc in October of 2011. After running two tanks I read online that the rear diff could be low from the factory. I then took out the rear diff and topped it off. Fast forward to this offseason, I had put a total of 10 tanks on my 5sc. It was time for the big maintenance that it calls...
