[savagepicco26]

Thats a sweet paint job Savagepicco26! Did you paint those red & white lines or are they lectra line?
thanks. they're painted. they were a serious PITA, but i wanted everything painted so it would be more durable. many, many hand cramps while cutting all the masking for that job!

[4DMNYC]

I bet..I would never have the patience to paint those thin lines. Much respect to ya.

I'm not sure but are those trucks the MGT, Savage, T-maxx, and LST? if so you sure have a great fleet.... but i notice a titan box in the background and i'm curious why there aren't pics of that.

How do you compare all of your trucks....have you decided what's best in each respect? I'd like to hear from someone who has what seems to be every big boy out there.

Also, I just bought the exact wheel/tire combo thats on your MGT, white RPM stablemaxx with proline mulchers, and haven't had a chance to use them. How durable are they? Maybe a better question would be, how long do the proline mulchers last, you seem to have used them enough to know...

I just thought i'd get an idea before i run them so i can avoid experimenting and ripping them up. :D

GTX -- looks like it's about time for a new body....

either that or some shoe goo and spraypaint!! (that's what i did to mine....hehe)

but you say you sold it? oh well. How much did you get for it?

filled in like 6 cracks with that goop and painted the top of the body with special flexible spraypaint made for plastic.... worked pretty well for all the rolls and scrapes from pavement since then. And I just busted the front bulkhead in a fight with a volleyball post so i have time to post a few jumping pics....lol

I apologise in advance for the poor picture quality. :(

I still have the stock steering servo, and it's a bit harder to keep straight than i'd like, but that could be because i had it pegged.... anyway, in this one I almost took out my camera dude....lol!! :D :p

Its hard to get them that small, My Digital only goes to around 80kb on the **it setting...LOL

[savagepicco26]

Its hard to get them that small, My Digital only goes to around 80kb on the **it setting...LOL
i take them at full size (about 2MB), then use software to scale them down. there's lots of free resizers out on the net. just google them and download one of them.

[mdewitt71]

just open the pic with MS paint and go to IMAGE then click on STRETCH/SKEW.
You can SKEW the image down by putting a smaller % of the picture. I usually do it about 60% and they fit fine.

[Figit090]

lol are your tires on inside out?

HAha!! good eye...yes, they are. I was thinking, "How can i give this more defense against rollin' over without spanding money"....

I have brand new rpm rims waiting so at the time i figured...what the heck.... why not!

and well...they work great, have one of the farthest offsets you can FIND for t-maxx without getting some expensive rim or a hub lengthener....

But yeah, i died those, then dremeled out the hex shape in the center of the outer side of the rim, slipped the tires....and saved like 100 bux from buying spiked tires and offset rims... even though i have a set...lol! :p :p :D


lol they are haha thats so funny

I also find it amusing, but i'm curious, why does it make you laugh? :rolleyes: :o

I sold my 1:1 vehicle, not the Revo Nice pics man!

Hey thanks, my best friend was over, and one time he ran it into a curb and broke it up a bit so he didn't want to drive, so i grabbed a camera and asked him if he'd take some pics.

Amazingly he was willing and wanted to sit like...BETWEEN the jumps and take the pics with it over his head. I told him not to because it's kinda risky, but mostly because our older digicam just doesn't have a shutter that will capture that kind of speed. and like i said, that stock steering servo has some nutty slop because of the low torque, it just can't keep it straight like i wish it would.

So seeing that i just broke her again because i was driving at a school paved playground area and didn't survey well enough to avoid hitting a post, i'll be buying some pretty alluminum and a new servo if i feel like spending more cash. D'OH!!! :rolleyes: :p :p :p

~~Figit090~~

[Legend_Car]

thats one hell of a jump nice nice truck man

[Figit090]

DUDE!!! the ultimate fix to blind jumping! if you could make a big one of those, it would be awsome...because i think if you're standing near where the truck is intended to land, you can't see it once it's almost on and going up the jump, so exact throttle release and steering correction becomes a bit tough if the jump is really large....this would totally fix that!!!

[Figit090]

losi racer 13 - that thing...is like a friggin' touring car.... do you mostly use it onroad? Just curious what kinda action that thing gets. Cool truck though. Those rims died or painted?

[GTX]

Figit - yeah, he races on road ;)


I have a 6ft kicker ramp at my track. Launches the Revo pretty good at WOT :D

[RespirologyRC]

Thanks. I rebuilt it from a bunch of spare parts from eBay this past winter. The only new part is the body.
It does have a driver figure, but since it was the 38th car in Tamiya's lineup, I doubt it was the first. I never think they look that good, that's why the Brat and the WW have empty seats.

[Quinton]

Minty- VERY NICE Truck!!!!

Quinton- How do you like it? I have been checking the TNX out on the net too, looks like a pretty nimble truck......
Can't wait to see it at the track.............

I'm still breaking it (6 tanks) so I can't give you an honest answer. If you are wanting a racer I would get it. I was wanting a Jato to mess with but when I saw this for $289 I just couldn't pass that up. I like my Savage because I've got it all hopped up and it looks and sounds tough. So far my Savage looks like its quicker and faster BUT I can tell already that the TNX will handle MUCH better.
You just can't beat an 1/8 scale MT to have fun with, that is light and tough for $289!!!

[savagepicco26]

losi, got a head-on view of that savage?

[Needler56]

not sure how to properly post pics, but this is my savage 25 with the integy piggies. bent a shock shaft after the first run with them and got rid of them. loved the way they looked tho

[Quinton]

Here's my TNX with 40 series wheels and Losi Zombie tires.

[Skribble]

Nice slammed Savage. :D

[savagepicco26]

interesting setup losi. does it work well on the track? i've never ran my savage lower than the arms parallel. with only 4 springs, is bottoming out a problem?

[Needler56]

losiracer, what kind of battery is that in the front, thats a such a good idea

[Quinton]

Its a 5 cell flat pack. You could use that or a 5 cell hump pack. That would help alot with weight if you are a racer

[savagepicco26]

losi, also, why do you run the shocks without springs upside down?

[thedarkness]

The local savage racers do it because the savages suspension is so stiff out of the box

[Quinton]

I don't know the point of mounting them upside down. They will be more likely to get dirt in them.

[thedarkness]

most than likely it has to do with all the air being in the top of the shock while the piston is always right at the bottom.

[Figit090]

that's cool. The battery pack placement is a good idea but i think i would have tried mounting it under the center of the chassis where it isn't near the most common point of impact in wrecks... but i dunno. just a thought. I guess if you don't run into stuff like i do it's allright....lol. i suppose you'd have to hit pretty bad to really do anything to it, but still.....

[Figit090]

Poor Judgement - woah.... a .28 in that?? that'll be nuts! what rims do you have on that thing? The short lenght of that is going to make it wheelie like mad.... WOAH wait a second! you have t-maxx hub carriers and driveshafts..hehe, that's very creative. Was that your idea?? Any binding/articulation issues with the slightly taller space between the pivot points? Coolio...

[losi racer13]

thanks guys, well i race onroad :( i wish we had a offroad track around here. and i use the 4 shocks as dampeners and 4 shocks are for rebound and the upside down ones help lower the center gravity. yeah im soon going to get the hump pack. i dont have to worry about damaging the pack cuz i dont go offroad racing like i said i race onroad. by the end of the season im going to have lcg chassis plates, buggy shocks towers and buggy shocks. hopefully its going to work out.

[losi racer13]

interesting setup losi. does it work well on the track? i've never ran my savage lower than the arms parallel. with only 4 springs, is bottoming out a problem?
yes it works amazing but i also use 40 wt oil so its nice a stiff. i can also go wot around turns and not worry about flipping. its amazing.

[rc411]

Well, here is my completed project Maxx. I basically replaced every part on this thing. I picked this truck up as a wreck.

[savagepicco26]

losi, you get enough pull from the spring there? mine's hooked on the roll bar, but you don't have one. i did the mod from savage-central.

[losi racer13]

yes i got plenty of pull. its perfect it pulls really fast back. im using a z590m so i dont have to worry about the servo slowing down. I took the spring from my revo and stretched it out a little bit.

TrU :D
-30 probley not a good idea +30 better atleast on a nitro too cold and the engine won't run & if it dose it won't run come summer. due to piston to sleeve wear if the engine is not able to reach oppreating temp ( 180 - 230 ) the piston will wear the sleeve quicker then it would otherwise. Some of us keep two engines one for warm weather and one for cold. If you do try to run your nitro in -30 use a heat gun or a hair dryer to perheat the engine befor you start it about 30 min. befor this will minimize the wear from the cold weather. If your engine dosen't turn don't forse it bad things can happen.

OH Man Im obviously gunna have the car inside at room temp before i take it outside....i work at a hockey rink and i wanna know if i can start it up at room temp let it warm up then go out in the -30 and thats only the reallly cold days...its mostly like mid low -20'z so would that be ok?

You can run your r/c's out in the cold with no probs. Just be careful if you bump into anything as they break MUCH easier with the cold weather.

[46u]

All so watch your temperatures as too cold is just about as bad as to hot. From what I have read some cover the cooling fins on the heads to help keep the temperatures up.

If you run it in that cold of temp. tune the engine alittle lener so it will run hotter buy a temp guage and monter your head temps keep it warm room temp is a good starting point if the room is about ( 60-75 ). breake your engine in real good now and run it cand of hard too this will help in the cold

Fresh of a rebuild and some new parts.. My basher is back and better than ever... About two years ago I made my first set of frames.. They were the 1.5" extendeds.. I went through a couple of design changes but still feel these are the best overall chassis I have made.. These frames are over a year old.. been through hell and back and still look good. This is by far my favorite truck to bash on...

- NovaRossi 528XRP
- 4mm 7075 1.5" extended TVPs
- All aluminum parts were de-anodized and then electropolished
- Electropolished LST shocks with threaded bodies held on with 4mm 7075 brackets
- X-75 beadlocks with rock ring
- 3 speed tranny
- lunsford titainum tie rods
- nova engine mount and one peice engine plate
- 430 oz hitec servo (steering)
- LST tires with MGT foams
- Alloy gearboxes with alloy cups 300k front and 100k rear
- Half-back cage

that's awesome! what's that cage made out of?

[SKEEZE]

The Half-back cage is made of solid delrin rod. hand formed and 100% indestructable. It is light wieght and can be removed in 2 seconds. It is unlike anything on the market but I will take credit for the future of RC cages as I know that big manufactures are already working on a production style "half-back" cage.. At least I made the first cage that can truley have 100% lifetime warrenty....

[SKEEZE]

Thanks for the kind words about my rig.. I have had the savage since it came out and have been working on its durability for almost 2 years.. I belive I have eliminated the weak links and would put it against anything...

The savage holds up very well. The main part that gives is the dog bones. Nearly every tank is at least one bone.. Next is shock shafts.. Truely the stock plastic shocks can take a mean beating.. but the aluminum shocks dont last one jump.. Plastic flexes and gives where a stiff metal part does not have any give, resulting in bent parts.. Hence the use of plastic on my cages.. I have built numerous metal cages only to have them bend.. where as the plastic cages give and bounce right back..

Here is a pick of a few tanks on the super ramp with the HPI aluminum shocks.. not so good..

what the hell are you talking about??
if you are wondering about my name its cuz iv owned a rustler before and it was the best truck i ever had, then i sold it cuz i got into nitro and the mgt seemed to be the best choice
and who are you to say if im a bad driver?? you dont even know me and i dont even know who you are
im sorry if you are mad at me cuz i diddnt get a t-maxx ok but i am allowed to get something other than a traxxas even if my name happens to have traxxas in it

[Skribble]

we have 5 traxxas trucks and 2 team losi's, and i like the traxxas' better. never broke a part on any but my e-maxx...Two different breeds. Losi's are purely made for racing -- Hence they're more brittle because of the way their designed. But any Losi [except the lst] would smoke the pants off any Traxxas in the same class for racing.

I'm not knocking you for having fun with your cheap truck. Heck most of my nitro's I own right now I bought used at a nice price.
Just dont' go jumping your duratrax off that HUGE ramp. I doubt my Savage could handle the abuse that ramp could deliver because I don't have it set up for that kind of punishment.
Anyway, a Savage would be an excellent truck for you to buy next. They are fast, loud and tough!!! I really like mine!

SKEEZE- that savage is awesome!! about how much did it cost to make it what it is if you dont mind me asking?

edit: (yay my 1000th post :D)


Actually I did add up what I have into it.. Although I did make the TVPs, brackets, and cage there is still around $1500 in parts.. The engine alone was $350+.. but thats the cost of (what I consider) the highest quality parts on the market..

you can get about the same perfomance for quite a bit less if your a smart shopper..

so its 1500 including the materials for the custom stuff? either way, i dont have that much money :( ....i like that you built some of the parts though.

I'm just not sure if this fits in the stadium truck category or the Monster truck category... the MT2 18SS is so... humm, alone in it category.

Here's my ride.

[montrealer]

just another one, for my mom... :D

[MT2 owns you]

that mt2 doesnt look very stock...whats it got? :)

[montrealer]

that mt2 doesnt look very stock...whats it got? :)

Front and rear aluminum lower arms
Front and rear aluminum threaded shocks
Front and rear aluminum uprights
Front aluminum C Hubs
Front aluminum steering plate
Aluminum steering crankshaft
Front aluminum bumper
Dynamite steering linkage
Front and rear aluminum locked hexes
Venom Heat monitor
Ofna failsafe
Front and rear shock towers (in the mail...)
MT-1 body, custom painted by moi.
Hobbyco silicone exhaust deflector
De-anodized belly

Here's a picure "naked", by the way, it's a 18SS not the regular MT2 but with all these hop ups, that doesn't mean much anymore does it?

[MT2 owns you]

wow, its nice. the only thing i would change is the a arms (just a precaution) and the upper deck to graphite. other than that its totally sweet!! what threaded shocks ar those btw?

Shocks are from GPM racing. The A arms are the stock 18SS arms with purple RPM ball connectors. I considered changing them for the New Era A arms but I fear the connectors would be too big as the Shock springs are a little bit oversized and would just get stuck to the arms while the car is running. Right now, with the stock arms, I got like 2 millimeters clearance and that too close for comfort for me. The graphite upper deck is not on my list, I don't like the fact that all of the electronics would be naked and a pray to dust and mud.

I admit, it is sweet and mind you, it is one speedy truck. I had two policemen stop by the park where I was running it this afternoon. I politely asked them if they would mind using their radar to evaluate the speed and it hit 42-43mph on grass. The two guys just couldn't beleive it. If I had more guts, I would have asked if they would do the same test in the street, I'm sure it would have hit 48-50mph but they probably would have given me a speeding ticket... ;)

lol, i dont doubt mine would hit 50 with a good set of tires (my mashers are not good for the road..at all) it has a OS .18 cvrx. my mt2 rtr which i recently realized i could build again (needs, engine (have it) electronics (stole it from anothr rc i have) exhaust (have it but it sucks (stock)), a hinge pin set (buying it soon i hope) and onroad tires (also buying them soon i hope)) and im putting a left over 2 speed in it. oh, it needs a new front diff and a couple outdrive cups too. i cant wait to get it running :D (i have 2 mt2's btw)

oh, if it has the stock a arms on it..why are those so shiny? ;) just had me confused a bit there. very nice mt2 so far though. i like it.

[pedeman]

sorry i meant to say i agree with traxxas fan that traxxas was good. my bad. sorry for the mistake...

[losi racer13]

Hey guys what do u think leave my slammed savage low as it was or run it arms level, i race onroad but i found some dirt stuff near my house and it looks intersting

[Legend_Car]

idk how would i go about slamming an emaxx

[Quinton]

they're not stock arms, he's confused with his stock draglinks. nice truck!

raise it. you can always lower it again.

you'll need to raise it for offroad. run 'em level.

[teenflon5]

nevermind.

[46u]

Nice truck but I prefer mine to be lighter as well as I have been throw the alloy thing and it ends up costing too much. So what I am doing is putting an OS .18 TZ in mine with most of the stock plastic parts.
Different strokes for deferent folks

[TRI-TURBO]

Here are some pics of my TNX Pro. First nitro car for me, I usualy race 1/10 eletric Touring cars, so its a nice change...Its about a month old now..still stock, just added a fail safe and some zip ties...

[losi racer13]

nice truck. i would suggest to cut a hole in your windshield for air cooling.

[losi racer13]

yeah guys, i put the 4 black shocks in and flipped my shocks around and now its level, i guess level is good for everything offroad/onroad.

[46u]

I like the TNX but being an HPI man I think I will wait for this to get here.

Man!!!!!!!
I'm not a HPI kind of guy.... but... this truck looks awesome!!!!

looks much better than my new Mammoth ST.....

[46u]

Did you check out all the chassis wheel and so on adjustments? All so they are going to make it in RTR and kit form. That is one of the many reasons I like HPI is they make kits. Yes I will defiantly be getting one to go along with my HPI Rush, HPI MT and my Savage. Told you I was an HPI man. I definitely think this truck will be competitive! :eek: ;) :D

[Mild MAXX]

I'm not knocking you for having fun with your cheap truck. Heck most of my nitro's I own right now I bought used at a nice price.
Just dont' go jumping your duratrax off that HUGE ramp. I doubt my Savage could handle the abuse that ramp could deliver because I don't have it set up for that kind of punishment.
Anyway, a Savage would be an excellent truck for you to buy next. They are fast, loud and tough!!! I really like mine!
(ps. They are not hard to work on like alot of people say AND you seldomly need to work on them)
Any repair on any r/c has the potencial to be come a pain in the *^#@! if you know what you doing or you are a first timer even the " easy jobs" can turn on you so to say on truck is easier to work on then another is really unfair becuse you think changing a spur in a t-maxx is hard and someone else thinks its hard in a savage ,tnx &,lost the list could go on on & on. Someone who has the skill to fab there own parts is probley not going to have a problem with any truck on the market.

[Quinton]

I'm not sure where you are going with that Mild Maxx but I do agree.


That Hellfire looks like it will give all the trucks, truggies and buggies a run for their money.


Tri-Turbo - You picked a good nitro to start out with. The TNX is good solid durable and fast race truck. It really doesn't need any mods at all either. I think I'm going to convert mine over to pullstart or rotostart so I don't have to use 3 different starting methods for my nitro's though.
