Hi everybody !!! Just wanna know your opinion again...My b-day comming up soon... so all I'm askin is $$$ to boost my savage x, and i wanted to know what would you guys recommend buyin first :juggle: (stock savage x)

 

[nicholas655]

i would go with a new pipe

i heard good things about the ribbed ones , but they are loud , like mine.i like it when its loud

 

[joneser4u]

I say dual disk brake with a steel hub,Thats if the X doesn't already have a steel brake hub?I have an origanal.21bb and a .25ss. The .25ss came with the ribbed pipe, yea its loud, and it performs very well, I put one on the .21bb. Might wanna consider a steering servo upgrade.

Wait for the new DD brake set up for the Savage, much better than anything other that the CNR brakes (they went tits up) like the others mentioned, a good pipe like the HPI polished or THS pipe with the spring couplers, other than that a good 5 cell hump pack for better run times and a fail safe are just the essentials.

i never used a failsafe and had no runaways or nothing , when my battery gets low it just reduces power everywhere, steering , throttle, etc.. it doesn't just cut off in the middle of a high speed pass

You just jinxxed(spell) yourself.:ha:

 

[bentover]

oooooohhhhhhhh, big time!!

I had 2 run aways due to low power, one from glitches and the other from a
hump pack that just cut out right at the wrong moment.

A fail safe, like the Ofna Micro, will warn you ahead of time when the pack drops to a low level, it will stop the throttle servo dead, and be in the full brake position, but your steering will still work.

 

[nicholas655]

I'm only jinxed if i believe in that crap.......damnit i do believe....oh crap !!!

 

[joneser4u]

Look into the ball, I see a failsafe in your near future!

 

[nicholas655]

i do to , I'm going to the shop soon and i will check into that ,

 

[joneser4u]

$20/25 can save lots!

 

[bentover]

Lots of running with one hand holding the transmitter and the other holding your pants up if you are a fat ass like myself!! =devil

IMO the first thing a Savage needs is a new steering servo, high torque metal gear.

It's just a matter of time. Don't forget to post your MAJOR wreck thread when it happens.

ALWAYS use a failsafe. If you don't, sooner or later, you'll wish you had.

 

[nicholas655]

its been about a 8 months running and no runaways, mine just starts to get slower reaction time with the servos and throttle

the only time i had a moajor wreck is when i miss calculated a turn and ran into a cement block during winter , and it was very cold out, thus braking everything on contact, that was expensive, 360 $ of labor (i was a newb at the time)and pieces

MY SAVAGE X HAS BROKE SERVOS AND SHOCKS A RUN AWAY IS A GOOD IDEA. YOU WILL SEE THE FIRST TIME YOU RUN AFTER IT:buggy1:
