Some of you may remember my first thread titled Finally! where I was so excited that I actually got to bash on my revo for a full hour without breaking anything. That was after almost $400 in hop-up parts and it still breaks almost everytime I run it.
Well this time I Finally! broke something on my savage XL. I have 3 gallons through this truck and was trying to break it so I could have a reason to tear it apart and do some upgrades/maintenance on it.
So what did I break after 3 gallons of extreme bashing that none of my traxxas rigs could ever even dream of doing much less driving away from?
A shock! thats it just one little bitty shock nothing else!
I actually blew the seal out of it about 1.5 gallons ago but never pulled it off to rebuild it. I dont know exactly when it broke but I did land from about 15ft in the air directly on that front corner. The funny thing is that i ran about a half gallon and never even knew it was broke until I got home.
heres some more pics just to show the amount of dirt and crap that has accumulated over the last 3 gallons
While I have it apart anyone have any suggestions for upgrades? I have a motorsaver to put on it but other than that I really dont know what to upgrade and dont say change the 5.9 because I actually think it performs great.
