maybe you also need a stronger steering servo or need to tighten the servo saver. my turning radius got gradually wider and wider to the point where it wouldn't steer at all. turns out, the little spring retainer for the servo saver had worked it's way loose. i was getting ready to trash the servo for nothing. i'm glad i didn't.

edit: also, can you post some pics of your standard length savage with xl tires. i'm thinking about getting some tires about the same size as the terrapins and i want to see just how huge they look on a normal length savage.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

Servo saver tightened... its slightly out of shape after a crash and seems to allow more slippage now. Thank you for the imput :)

last one...



Looks pretty ok to me... but of course the increased wheel diameter will also lift the CoG

Anyone with imput on FLM chassis vs standard in terms of manouverability?
