Savage XSS question

The diffs and dog bones break with lots of power like any truck.

Diffs on the XSS?????????? Everybody tell me that the XSS diffs are bullet proof with the new aluminium cup???

It seems odd that e-Savage with batts and charger is only 10 bucks more!!! Is it that much weaker???

Stay away from the e-savage, it's the same thing that the E-zilla, big SCRAP

The 4 bevels in alu cup are pretty indestructible but the ring and pinion can still slip with the flex in the diff casing under extreme load. I'm not saying you will break them straight away they are fairly bullet proof. Just check for slop in the diff and add shims if necessary. Also check the diff bearings as they go eventually and will cause the ring and pinion to die. I had a diff bearing go and the ring and pinion still look perfect even though they would of been slipping like crazy.

If you want to build an electric savage there is a shop called nitronutzz on ebay which chops xss savages. I bought all the stock parts I wanted for under $120 dollars I think. This included tranny, diffs, bulkheads, screws, dog bones, turn buckles and just about everything bar nitro gear, tvp, shocks (i use the LSTs) and radio box. I just need the FLM forward tranny chassis though.

Which parts i need to fit LST shock on Savage???

This is the kit I use from Innovative-RC but it requires the old style arms. They also have some stand-offs to use the stock arms. FLM also have the parts to do it if you use there alloy towers.

OK thank you, i've take a look at the innovative rc kit, it seam to be very well make.
But why they tell that this kit fit the Savage XSS but with the non-X arm
Which arm do i need to fit with this kit, and do i need front and rear arm?? upper and lower?
And is the non-X arm is as good and solid than the X one??

Thank you!
