These things are a riot...:D

id get one but there alot of money though :ermm:

[chucked]

What is that??? I bought a nitro stampede abotu 5 years ago, I swear is cost more to run that then it does my 400ex. I went out of range one day and it went full throttle into a tree, just about everything went.....

I just had a T-Maxx, had about $300 sunk into buying, and trying to fix it... I just got rid of it for $75 and barely drove it... POS :o

Good luck with your truck though... :D

[lil400exman]

sounds like you got a bad gear mesh....take a peice of notebook paper squeeze your gears together until the paper is squished or makes a nice littel zig-zag and it will be alright............try a mini-t for some real fun man!:eek2:

HPI Racing Savage 25... Work's great so far. Yeah, definately a bad gear mesh. First one was just being dumb and ran it into the mailbox..... GRINDDDDDD.. Gone.

Second was my improper installation. I'll be putting in the new gear tonight using the paper technique..

So far so good, and holy crap can that thing fly... LITERALLY.

10 of us at work have them...

There are about $399.00 @ towerhobbies.

I have one being shipped to my house as we speak

[FasstMidnightZ]

how much did u spend on it . in mine opion i think its a waste but ive never had one so... that really doesnt mean much ive seen a guy drive one, one time it waz fast as he||

[bens250ex]

i had a nitro duramax st and i swore that i would never buy another nitro truck as long as i live....but how is that savage does it run good?

[redlined94]

I have a Savage 25 also. They are figgin mean. I am having the same problems though always strippin out spur gears. Right now I gotta change out the clutch bell and the rubber clutch attached to the driver shaft coming out of the engine. Its a biatch to get this nut off I still havent got it!! They are awesome lil toys though!!

[PHAT400]

Yeah, i have yet to decide if I'll be getting the aluminum spur gear. The problem with that is instead of stripping the spur gear you'l likely damage the transmission... hmmmm plastic spur gear 4 bucks.... transmission 75 buck's...

My driving skills are not quite where they need to be...

:confused:

[Honda4trax250x]

i would love to get one of those things, too much of a money pit though:rolleyes:

and I believe that a metal on metal transfer of power (metal clutch gear to metal spur gear) will cause radio interference.

I'VE GOT THE ORGINAL T MAXX THAT I'M UPDATEING TO A 2.5 TMAXX, A FRIEND OF MINE HAS ONE AND IT'S GREAT! I ALSO JUST BOUGHT A REVO AND LOVE IT, HAD IT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND ALREADY TRASHED THE BODY. I CAN'T RACE QUADS NO MORE DUE TO A ACCIEDENT, SO BASHING AROUND WITH THIS THING IS GREAT. I ALSO HAVE A RC10GT, FAST AS HE**. HAVE FUN WITH YOUR NEW TOY!!!!!!:p
