    Trashed the clutch shoes.

    So... I fried my clutch. The bell looks fine, and I have a few other things to fix while I'm in there, but I'm wondering what shoes to get. Stock, alloy, or whatever. What are you guys running? Stock Savage X 17/47 gearing.

    Kind of a noob question

    So today my brother and I were bashing. He has a T-Maxx 3.3 and I was running my Savage. I've always noticed, but why is my Savage SOOO much louder? His stock 3.3 with the stock aluminum pipe, my stock whatever 4.1/4.6 with the stock nylon pipe.

    HPI SF-5 Servo issue

    Hi guys, I'm almost at the end of a Savage XL rebuild, however my steering servo seems to be, well, I don't know, broken, possibly, possibly not...
