savage question
Hey guy's im getting ready to get another truck.The problem is ive always been use to the tmaxx trucks.So now im looking into getting the savage x 4.6.Is it worth the money that I will be putting into it.I know with my tmaxx trucks crap would break all the time.I hear different opinions on the 2 about the durability of each.I have 2 tmaxx 3.3 which are very fast but break when I try to do any kind of real bashing with them.I know they all will break at some point.Ive also had big problems the traxxas motors blowing.Ive had to replace 2 of them within a year and I still need to get another.Broke them all in the correct way and never ran them hot.In every case the piston would snap.So does the savage motors hold up very well and can I do some good bashing with it?If so then I will get one this weekend.Can someone let me know the pro's and con's between the 2,thanks.

tmaxx 3.3 spur gear problem
Hey guy's I just installed a steel spur gear on my tmaxx 3.3.The problem i'm having is.When I give it gas it will not move.I have the spur gear and the clutch gear meshed like it should be.This is a brand new truck,well one week old.It was running fine before I changed the spur gear.When I give it gas the spur gear and the clutch gear are moving but the truck will not.Please some help on this,thanks..

RE: I have a idea
LOL....Here is what I had up.It was something to the effect of.Starting a parts exchange thread. Like people could list what extra parts they may have.So that way if someone needed something and they had extra parts,then you could do some parts trading.I think it would help with down time on the r/c and would help out if dealers and what not were out of stock. Just a thought,maybe a silly one at that.....

I have a idea
Well I had something else on here,but figured I would get into trouble.So I took it off. I think it would have been a good thought though.So pay no attention to this thread,sorry.

RE: volcano engine
Hey popper,really dont worry about the shipping cost.It wont be but maybe a dollar.Its not worth the time to send it.It doesnt weigh anything.Its boxed all up and I will send it,well today since its almost 1am....I see your point about the girls,lol.

RE: e clips-- Differential Box
Ive gotten some from the hardware store.It was for the one that goes over the clutch shoes.I just took the motor with me to Lowe's and matched it up.I dont know what size,sorry,but you can get them at the hardware store.

RE: Volcano STX REDCAT
Dude welcome to the broken clutch spring club.I think all or at least most of us with the volcano,have the same problem.Replace that spring with a traxxas spring,but keep the same clutch shoes on it.Ive wanted to run mine over a bunch of times,but if you listen to some of the guys on here.They will get you through your problem.Great group of people on here.... Just try the traxxas spring before you return it.It is a great truck once you can debug it.Ive bought 2 myself,actually 3,but one was a b-day present for my brother.We both use the traxxas spring and no more problems with it.

RE: volcano engine
I hope you find something that will work for you.I just dont want to put too much more money into a engine for my volcano.After all I need that spare money for all the other parts I break,lol. I'm 35 now and feel as if I was back in the cave man days riding a dinosaur and falling off,and breaking my wooden shorts. So popper drink one for us old timers,lol....Here was my saying when I turned 35.. I can not see,I can not pee,35 has come at last,lol.....

RE: volcano engine
I just went back to the same one.Now that I know what i'm doing,I can at least get that new motor running right the first time.The one that I snapped the piston in.Was my very first nitro. So needless to say I didnt know anything about them.So I know its my fault that it snapped. I never did break-in the engine.Took it out of the box fueled it and ran it like a mad hatter.... So now I broke it,lol.....So for the new guy's make sure you break your engine-in. Dont be like me and just open and run.Be good to the motor and it will be good to you. Damn I sound like a shrink,lol.....

RE: volcano engine
Hey popper sounds good to me.I wouldnt worry about the shipping.It cant cost that much to ship. No more then a few $'s.Just email me your address and I will get it cleaned up and shipped. Not that its really all that dirty.The cooling head bolts are at my brothers and I will get them this weekend and send them to you as well.Thats where I was at when the piston snapped.

RE: volcano engine
Yeah I got the same one,but I dont plan on useing it that much.So I thought maybe someone else could fix this engine and put it to use.

RE: Clutch bell warped teeth
Thats what the guy did at my lhs.He took what I had and compared it to all that he had. So do you have a part number for the one you put on?Or from what HPI it would have fit?

RE: Traxxas Clutch Spring
If you live near a hobby shop.Just go there and ask for a traxxas 2 shoe clutch.I dont know of a part number or a link,sorry guy.I just go to the hobby shop and ask.Since I only want the spring I dont care if the shoes fit or not.Dont know what ride you have,but mine is a 2 shoe system.

RE: volcano stx piston
Hey ehroof thanks man.I think I will go with the .18.The throttle will hook up different right? What I mean this carb has the little bulb looking end on it.Versus the one on the volcano carb that just sticks in there.So I would have to get a different throttle hook up right?

RE: Traxxas Clutch Spring
I tried the traxxas shoes once,just to see how they fit.The ones I had were to small. So I just used redcat shoes,and the traxxas spring was smaller.Which I think gave the truck better take off.
