RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
I've replaced them multiple times, and they all did the same thing. I think I'm going to buy The Toyz driveshaft setup for the XS and see if I can get rid of this dogbone setup

They will last a while, but if you really want something bullet proof do the dog bone convertion, I haven't had a problem for 2 years now

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
Hey all, i got my flux at Xmas and after the first two runs i noticed the steering has a ton of slop in it, any way to fix this? also the stock tires just flat out suck, any ideas on new tires? and is there any aftermarket bodies that fit good?

Sidewinder SCT eating up lipos
Well after my real sidewinder gave out, I bought a new sidewinder SCT speed control, it runs the same as my old sidewinder and I have them set the same but since I got the SCT I've gone though 3 lipos, is there a issue with my esc?

[quote]ORIGINAL: thehuntingterminator hey guys, <a target=''_blank'' href=''http://www.imexrc.com/servlet/the-289/IMEX-2.2-H-SQUARE/Detail''>here are those tires i got. pretty good since i got a set of 2 for 15 bucks with foams. and they seem decent qaulity too. foam is a little stiff, but i can deal with that, i'm not crawling or anything. [/quote] those are good tires for off-road but on-road is a very BAD IDEA. my foams in my tires disintegrated after a few runs so i would take them out before mounting, less hassle in the future. but here is the main issue of these tires Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2vS4mlez6o they just rip too easy

VXL bearing issue
well, i run my stampede about 2 times a week with my 2s lipo, everything goes well but today my motor blew a bearing and i have no idea how to get the outer part of the bearing out of the motor. if you got any ideas how to get it out that would be great. Thanks in advance Drew.

RE: Castle Sidewinder + Traxxas VXL 3500kV motor ok?
this is a great combo, i run mine on 2s alot and with good gearing it never cogs, never had over heat problems and it can take up to 9 cell or 3s , but on 3s watch your esc temps.
