Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / March 2005Trinity spyder
Just finished breaking in my spyder. Friend has savage 25 with monster torque. Savage pops wheelies right off the starting line. Can I tune my 427 engine to do the same ? Also radio that came with spyder sucks. Lots of interference and loss of control. Did instal failsafe. I think this truck is a big LEMON !!! I've read lots of posts moaning about quality on the mini as well. I've had a pile of Trinity stuff over the years (I just don't learn :-) and with the exception of their motors, I think their quality control is questionable, you can be lucky or unlucky. In your case, however, the interference may be nothing to do with the truck. It could be the area you run or any of a squillion other things. A couple of real simple things to try would be to change to a diff frequency, and also to move the received around in the car - even switching the receiver around 90 or 180 degrees can make a difference.

It was designed to keep the power to all four wheels. Wheelies on a monster truck are useless. For what its worth this Savage DOES pop wheelies !!!! I just seen it with my own eyes as well as 4 othere people. My friend says it stock and just tuned real good. Its WAY faster than my nitro spyder !!! It needs a wheelie bar cause it keeps fliping on its back. I will video this truck if you need more proof. >> Savage pops wheelies right off the starting line. > > FWIW, a stock savage doesn't pop wheelies.

A stock Savage will pop wheelies I know this to be tru because I have a stock 25 and so does most the guys on my block! *useless* maybe popping a wheelie is useless in a race but the extra power is awesome and if your really good you can hold that wheelie for several second and your friends go nutz at which is a great way to show-off!

Out of the box setup as stock it ain't supposed to pop wheelies. Now, I can take the slipper clutch and tighten it down so there's no slip at all and of course it will wheelie. Take that same setup on a clay track and do a 4 foot jump....you'll destroy your tranny bu the end of the day. > > Ha, Wrong! > > A stock Savage will pop wheelies I know this to be tru because I have a stock [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > clay track and do a 4 foot jump....you'll destroy your tranny bu the end > of the day. maybe not right out of the box. but, after you break the engine in it will! the 1st gear is way low. infact that that thing will hop out of control if your not careful! :) you need to get youself a savage and see for your self man will u be amazed > > > Ha, Wrong! > > > A stock Savage will pop wheelies I know this to be tru because I have a [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > be > amazed I own and race a savage at our track: www.leisurehoursraceway.com > > > > Ha, Wrong! > > > > A stock Savage will pop wheelies I know this to be tru because I have a [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > www.leisurehoursraceway.com I see, okay its not a good idea to punch it at wot at the race track maybe. stop messing with my head as i have a need for speed and i really enjoy showing off <G> unfortunatly no killer race tracks around here. all a bunch of parking lot races tho, oh well SignatureRemove *flaps* to reply Thanks Mike for your reply. I will be installing a 75 megahertz radio/receiver next week. I live in a big city and the truck is on the cb band and there is a lot of high power cbrs' still around. Besides the radio problem does anyone have this truck ? If so how is your tourqe. do you pop wheelies ? > Just finished breaking in my spyder. Friend has savage 25 with monster > torque.

I live in a big city and the truck is on the cb > band and there is a lot of high power cbrs' still around. the 27mHz band is *adjacent to* the CB band but is not equivalent to it. The keydown CB'ers in your area may be running (illegal) amps which can interfere in at least two ways: * the raw amount of power can overload the RX filters * the linear amps that the CB'ers use are sloppy and tend to "splatter" interference onto other frequencies.

My radios crystal is 26.995 cbrs' call this channel 3a because its a blank spot between 3 and 4. Theres a few more blank spots such as 7a 27.045 11a 27.095 and a few more.These are holes left over as the cb band grew from 26.965 to 27.405. And yes there are lots of cb amps out there, I still have my old tube amp from my base station and its VERY sloppy. >> Thanks Mike for your reply.
