I put forward that I jump the highest :-)

In the next week or so I am planning on buying one of these.But dont
know which to choose from. I just want it to mess around with at home.
The Traxxas Revo is well know and has a starter as the Duratrex
Warehead has a bigger engine and more options to set your truck

Howdy y'all (ping: Dre and DanTXD),
Ok, so I had a few hours to tinker with the beast this PM and decided to
yank the fuel tank and test for leaks (again).  It was then that I noticed a
nice slime trail of oil running down the back of the motor from the header

Notice that ppl glued the tires to the rims, and found out why.. (duh)
Realizing after a few de-rimmed tires why now..
My question is would ordenary model glue due, or a specal gule needs to
be used?

The battery in my starter box died. I neglected to by a charger for
it.Does anyone know anyway of charging a gel cell battery for one of
these?

The radio I have, a Futaba 2PL didn't come with BEC, so I want to build my
own.
What would happen if I pulled pos and neg off of the main battery? Is the
voltage correct? Or will I blow up the receiver and/or servos?

Some one mentioned if I posted some pics of my car, they might be able to
tell what model it was

In order to clean the chassis from dirt and other accumulated mess, what
do ppl suggest?  Can I use just carb. or break cleaner?

Merry Christmas and Happy New year

Ok, so last night I pulled the gearbox out of my Savage again to adjust the
shiftpoints (1st and 3rd engage too late still).  Turned both screws out
90deg.  In doing so it got me thinking.
How does the box decide to which gear to use?  I understand how a 2 speed

Was having a browse around on ebay this afternoon and came across a
interesting sale for about 13 Revo's, a couple of nitro boats and 8 Cen
Nemesis 7.7's.
The guy is selling them in 24 hours, in Aust dollars all starting at $19

Which of these choices would be best for bashing. 80/20 street/dirt
driving. No racing. I assume the Jato would be much more nimble than
the heavier Maxx trucks, but maybe not hold up as well jumping, and
going over rough terrain. Any comments? Thanks.

Hi all, I snapped a couple of picks of the new HPI wheelie bar for the
Savage...
enjoy!
