Awesome collection, I had a run away(I don't think I did the receiver Bind properly, I tested the fail safe after this and made sure it was fine). It went full throttle on 3s into a steel fence tube, I'd had the car running for less than 10mins.

I've had that, been quite a few years though. Mine were always due to water getting into the throttle/brake servo. They always seem to go to WOT with hard power on them that a spring or fail safe does nothing against. Have a few memories of trucks going off over hills and hearing them smash into something at full tilt while the engine screams like mad until I get to it and rip the fuel line off.

Good times... lol

Thanks. It was the truck that started it all for me. I put a Hobao Hyper .30 in it and it is just beastly. As suggested by @olds97_lss I went and ordered some bulletproof pinion and ring gears because the stock ones are getting shredded! The truck is a lot of fun but a giant pain in the ass to work on. It really makes you appreciate how easy the Arrmas are to wrench on.

That is a nice Savage. I have a first gen t-maxx that has an sh 28 big block, many mods, probably no traxxas parts lol. Some of the best mods were the unlimited engineering diff housings with ofna 1/8 scale diff internals so the truck could stay together. The Arrma trucks are indeed much more durable and easier to wrench on.
