hey sold my car now :D so dad said i could buy the savage i wanted. just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on radio gear or fuel to get.


the car :cruising:
savage x ss bought from modelsport.com (cheapest for a new one).

The radio gear :rc_car:
thought about getting a Hitec Aggressor SRX for transmitter/reciever(will use servo that comes with it for throttle) as is a 3 channel so i can use reverse at touch of a button(switch). (is this a good transmitter people.)

will get Hitec 645 MG BB Servo for steering (is this good enough?)

may get Futaba S3014 Standard BB for reverse (is this ok for what i want it to do?)

may also get HPI Hump Battery Pack for Receiver (but what charger do i need for it?)

do i need any leads/connecters/switches also which is the right switch (form modelsport) that i will need to use. (e.g. which connecter do i want it to have?)

will get HPI Savage Reverse Module (using 3 channel transmitter so don't need mixer)

The Fuel:beer:
getting Byron Race Fuel 25% 1 US Gallon (ok?)

The extras
may also get HPI Savage Wheelie Bar while i'm in the buying mood as i've heard it can roll over backwards from stop. (don't want to wreck the bodyshell on the first outing do i?)

also what diff oil and shock oil do people recommend (from modelsport) what weights?

oh and do i need any glue to glue the wheels to the tyres as it is a kit model and i haven't built one from scratch before

oh and maybe a skid plate (off of ebay when i've built the actual thing and got some more money as this is all quite expensive)

I think i have mentuioned everything that i need, should be a nice truck :bling: when i'm finished, comments are welcome people.

cheers
sean.

Very nice, get some pics up one it arrives!!! :clap: :thumbs_up:

will do jedi master
but do you know what charger to get for hump pack or what leads i need. can't get it and pics up until i know what i'm getting can i

I got a Hitec aggressor with last 1/5, very nice and it had that 645 MG BB servo in the box,so you may get lucky on the steering :thumbs_up:

i recommend to buy venom rx hump packs not the hpi one is expensive but got same spec as venoms

what puplretimbo are you saying that the one that comes with the srx will handle the steering? i was going to use it on the throttle oh no i get you now don't worry

what kris you say i sjould get the Venom Racing 6v 1200mAH NiMh Receiver Hump Pack (modelsport)

what charger do i need with this?

there was an unused Hitec MG645BB in my aggressor box, the 1/5 already had quarter scale servos in, so it was surplus, must have come with the radio, and that was what you suggested for steering, one is doing Jedi's Balzer I think
:thumbs_up:

yeah venom's are very good.

also for charger get the traxxas receiver pack charger its awesome...

hump pack...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VENOM-RACING-1200mAh...emZ110226236386

as for receiver switch to use the charge socket thats built into radio box you will need a 3 lead switch...

isn't there one from modelsport i can get? as i will save on postage and it's more convienient

oh and what weight shock oil and diif grease should i get?

hey i phoned up modelsport and they said that the shock and diff oil come with the kit so i think i know what i need now. i will be getting the following asap. other things like skid plate and a wheelie bar will come after when i have more money.

oh and by the way the srx is great, easy to use and reasonable price for what you get. will recommend to anyone

oh and thank you matt for telling me what lead to get as i would never have known

cool good luck with the build get some pics if you can :D

yeah mate get some pics up it would be good to see it step by step.

good luck with the build.

i had mine stripped down to its component parts today ans had to put it all back together again with no manual and the poxy dog knocked over all my pots of screws and parts as well so had no fucking idea where anything went.

managed to somehow get it all back together but havn't started it yet so don't know if it will work. lol

:joker: :thumbs_up:

Dude, that could be fun, did you threadlock everything? :clap: :thumbs_up:

threadlock super glue the works luke.

that thing aint coming undone at all so i hope that it runs and that i don't have to take it all apart again.

:joker: :joker:

Its all part of the fun dude!!! :lol:

:thumbs_up:

will add pics in a new topic in the projects section later today. all coming on ok so far so hope it stays that way lol. :clap:

hey just one last question.

when i've finished it (soon) should i run it in on modeltechnics 16% then switch to byrons 25% or start with the byrons from the start.

its just my buggies ran on 16% and i have some left, but i have also gat a gallon of 25%. will it matter which i run it in on?

cheers (pics up later today,probably this evening)
