Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / April 2004old mtroniks info and Savage or T-Maxx
Hi all, does anyone anything about an old mtroniks esc its a ST400 pb Ive googled and searched websites and can find nothing. Any info would be great. Which would would be better T-Maxx or Savage and quickly why. Thanks ESCs are for electric motors. You don't need either one for a Savage or a T-Maxx  SignatureJustin Mahn remove Panties to e-mail > Hi all, > does anyone anything about an old mtroniks esc its a ST400 pb Ive [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks If you are going Nitro...I think the Maxx is a better buy..It is faster...has better support and tons of Hop ups.

You don't need either one for a Savage or a > T-Maxx You dont say ;-) It was two seperate issues, should have worded it better. Thanks for the reply anyway. Col. Oops sorry. 8) I'd go for the T-Maxx because the Savage has an exposed gas tank that gets broken easily. Plus the T-Maxx will be able to use many of the Revo upgrades like the sealed diffs and upgraded universal shafts. SignatureJustin Mahn remove Panties to e-mail > > ESCs are for electric motors.

I haven't seen any official word from Traxxas that says that. Looks like the tire/wheel combo and cooling head are about the only backward-compatible items that I know of.

Wheels tires, head, motor. pipe, tank, I don't remember what else. > > Plus the T-Maxx will be able to use many of > > the Revo upgrades like the sealed diffs and upgraded universal shafts.

Full RTR box (just need fuel and batteries) with full uk warranty £339 inc vat and delivery £100 quid cheaper than a Savage 25 give or take ;-) I`ll let ypou know how it goes. thanks for the replys and hope of Revo upgrades ;-) > Hi all, > does anyone anything about an old mtroniks esc its a ST400 pb Ive [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks Thats $.800.00 very badly spent! It would have worked out cheaper if you flew London - New York - Bought the car there, and then flew back. It would have cost $339 for the T-Maxx, and around $200 for your air ticket .... Other options include using towerhobbies. They ship anywhere. I had my t-maxx shipped for $.400, half your price! In your case you may have paid 50% duties which might have brought the price up to around $.600, still $.200 cheaper! Its amazing how the prices of these cars are inflated by non-manufacturing nations! > Thats $.800.00 very badly spent!

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Its amazing how the prices of these cars are inflated by > non-manufacturing nations! Um im a bit confused... $600 equates to £335.11p. My maxx took just 22hrs to arrive with a full UK warranty and cost £339 inc delivery thats £3.89 difference why the hell would I buy stateside to save £3.89p? A confused Col. Had you not paid the duty, u would have only paid $.400.00. Which there are many ways of doing. After this weekend howvere, I respect your concern on having the warranty. I broke my conrod (Only on my 8th Tank of fuel) and the replacement would probably been done under warranty had i bought the car locally. It will only cost $.30 to replace the conrod, but what about the next brakage ... > Had you not paid the duty, u would have only paid $.400.00. Which > there are many ways of doing.

I still would have only saved around £100 which dont get me wrong is a BIG pile of cash BUT the potential for something to go horribly wrong is just to much for me to justify it. Now hopups from the US Ebay site,thats a whole different ball game ;-) thanks for the reply. Col. |
