EP Savage X build

[Takedown]

Looks like a fun build joey. Make sure you get the pinion perfectly meshed with the CD/spur. Seems as of the motor is tilted towards the mount making the pinion set lopsided onto the cd/spur. If you ruin it this way it could give you issues with heat and excessive wear.

Hmm you have a point.. I just checked it and its actually no problem at all though, very miniscule I think it will be fine. I did notice that the CD, from a top down view, is actually angled a TINY bit. Like the left side is slightly forward and rigth side angled towards rear. But its VERY small and I dont think it will be a problem.

Hahaha LG Im wishing I could have something new to update! For now Im deadlocked into studying day in and day out... no time for fun.

I have 3 packages in the mail... Bearings for the servo saver to replace the 4 bushings, hinge pins for the lower axle to arm joint, and duratrax warhead towers. The shock towers on the savx are too high for my liking, and I already have some warhead shocks (about 128mm) so Im going to try to hack up the X tower and mount in the warhead tower for some low riding goodness. Updates when I can... video... not for a while ;)

Oh and I balanced my wheels. They were WAY out of balance. I used small strips of duct tape on the inside of the rim and it worked great. Took the dogbones out and used the free spinning axle to balance, worked well. They are about 90% balanced now, definitely good enough but I may try to get it perfect sometime... just hard without a high quality balancing shaft thingy.
