Are you kidding me? A 3s lipo pack is no-where near enough voltage to move that truck. Assuming you have an 8XL or 9XL, it will be much much faster on 5s lipo, somewhere in the 40-45mph range if you gear it like-so.

Even better- the 10XL will do very well on 5s lipo.

You cant show non-traxxas vehicles on the traxxas forum; everythime I tried to post pics of my TXT-1 (back in the day), they would delete the pics or my post.

saydee1800 09.21.2008 06:22 PM

Dude they wont let me post any thing

saydee1800 09.21.2008 06:25 PM

should I run a 6s neil I was told I would be pushing my luck
I just need POWER

suicideneil 09.22.2008 11:50 PM

You could run 6s with the 10Xl, just gear down a touch and you'll have more torque than you can use ordinarily. Still, a feigao is no match for a proper powerful motor, like a neu etc.

saydee1800 09.24.2008 06:45 PM

well 5s is in I have it geared at 48/15 can I do better with gearing I was hoping to put a 20t pinion
maybe 52t spur?
or just run 48/20?

Semi Pro 09.24.2008 09:06 PM

5s on 10xl should be great. Gear as low as possible (with in reason of course) at first. Then gear up if everything says nice and cool. I found mine heated up driving off road but was fine on road. Moved the shift point to later and it seems to be fine now off road as well.

saydee1800 09.29.2008 04:17 PM

well I now can't get this truck to shift to second

saydee1800 09.29.2008 06:43 PM

I got it shifting no worries

saydee1800 10.01.2008 10:22 AM

Trucks been running great

cembom 10.01.2008 04:55 PM

Good too hear it, I think I am going to pick up a savage roller. Yours looks really nice. Flm's chassis is really clean.

saydee1800 10.02.2008 03:22 PM

I have a new problem I have Pro-Line 40 Beadlock with Pro-Line tire when I get up in speed they become very woblely

does any on no how to fix this

suicideneil 10.03.2008 09:13 AM

Sounds like they are unbalanced. You basically need to add weights or dremel material from the inside of the tires until they spin without wobble; good luck with that is all I can say. My jumbo maxx rubbers are very unbalanced and come unglued from the rims almost every run- just gotta keep gluing them back on....

saydee1800 10.08.2008 09:41 PM

I cant seam to get this truck to steer strait with out adjusting the steering on my controller. what is the right servo arm I should use? with this Hitec servo

thanks guys

blueb8llz 10.08.2008 09:56 PM

and you didnt have this problem with the other tires/wheels? if not, then it is most likely unbalance tires. maybe try fitting your tires again, the foams may have shifted inside. do you have sloppy steering? make sure all screws are tightened down on the steering assembly. servo saver spring weak? put some toe in on the rear tires. you can try putting some spacers on the front springs to make them stiffer than the rears. check your hindge pins and shock bottom caps.

Am I the only one to notice this, but aren't the wheels mounted facing the wrong direction of rotation?

saydee1800 10.10.2008 07:39 AM

Thanks Vintage! I did have my tire backwards. Well the steering was not a true problem. I brought my savage in to the shop an ask the. they told me that I will never get the servo to go true 0. We did adjust the sub steering trim and now its prefect.
By the way I have gps this FLM @ 48.2mph geared at 20/52 with my 10xl

blueb8llz 10.10.2008 06:01 PM
