Something's gonna break for sure!

where can i buy these straps?rc monster have them?

saydee1800 09.07.2008 10:04 PM

do you have reverse in the truck if so what kind what brake are you using

killjoyken 09.08.2008 02:07 PM

I got the 12" straps from Fry's Electronics. I use 8" straps for my 4s lipos.

I don't have reverse and I'm using the stock dual disk brakes. There should be pics of my brake setup on the first page. I haven't had a single problem with the brakes.

Are u still running the 3-speed with it on 6s?

killjoyken 09.09.2008 02:16 PM

I was running it on 4s for a while since I had to go back to a MM while my MMMs were back at Castle. Then I did a complete tear down and rebuild, cleaned everything, and replaced some tweaked parts. BTW, the 3-speed is still perfect.

I'll post some new pics when I get everything back together.

saydee1800 09.09.2008 09:44 PM

have you ever try the xl savage extended aluminum axles

Have you got those packs Velcroed together so the cant slide forward and damage the plugs?

Fast5sRevo88 09.10.2008 06:44 PM

Yes, Ken has the batts velcroed together, in one of the previous pics, u can just barely see it, it also says it somewhere near the pic.:wink:

Finally put my Savage back together last week with a few changes. This one is built for top speed/drag racing and I'm building a 2nd FLM Savage for bashing. This one's got HPI Phaltlines, HPI big bores, and a Tekno Neu 1515/1.5d powered by a MMM V2 w/CCBEC. I ran it on 4s to tune the suspension and it was doing pretty well.....until I lost control at about 50+ mph and slid sideways into a curb. Amazingly I only put a small crack on the inside of the rear wheel and bent the crap out of a rear CVD.

Monster Max mount for quick fan replacement as well as keeping the case from popping apart. It also doubles as a flame guard for my lipos! :lol:

I notice the external bec with the MMM. I did not think you needed one. What does ccbec stand for?

killjoyken 09.22.2008 11:18 PM

Technically you aren't supposed to need a bec with the Monster, but since there have been problems with the internal bec failing, this is a preventative mod. CCBEC stands for Castle Creations BEC.

MTBikerTim 09.22.2008 11:39 PM

The CCBec is keeping my MMM alive I'm sure.

Why do you have the big spacer under your motor?

That looks awesome. Love the body. I'm waiting on a radar gun to arrive so I can clock mine. I didn't build it for speed but it flies.
