  1. the two servos it destroyed where Acoms AS-12's with the plastic gears in them.  The servo which destroyed the servo saver was a HITEC on with metal gears.  Yes they are all the standard savers, linkages etc.  The car had anew chassis befor elast night and there are no score marks around where the steering moves so that is all free.

  2. Has anyone got any ideas or had a similar experience with this.

     Have been racing 4 times now and everytime I go at some point during the evening the steering on the car "***** up!!!"  It usually happens if when the car is turning an either gets knocked by another car or against a wall.  Either Servo saver comes off the servo or in the case last night destroys the cogs in the servo.  Added to this last night after chewing the teeth off one set of cogs it went and did the same to my spare one as well.  After borrowing another one off one of the other racers, the actua servo saver got chewed up!!  Getting a bit disheartened with it at the moment as only seem to get a couple of mins out of 5 minute race befor eit breaks each time!!!

     Anyone got any ideas?

  3. I have only been racing a couple of time using my TL-01 Escort.  Both times I have had problems with the steering servo on the car in that during one of the races the steering packs up because the steering screw and parts have come out of the servo.  Cause of this I have missed one of the races or part of it.  Not too worried about the races but it is getting a bit annoying as I replaced the servo after it happened on the first time thinking that the screw had been over tightened for it to happen a second time at the last meeting.

    Has anyone else had this problem or anyone got any ideas how to fix it?

  4. I am new to here so please be gentle with me [:)]

    I Have a Super blackfoot which didn't run for a neumber of years. Finally re-built all of the bits that needed replacing and got new batteries for it. I did have a 1400mah battery, so I bought another one the same and also a 1900Mah as well. Can some tell me if the 1900mah battery makes it run quicker or just for longer? also having looked closer at the charger it says it charger 1400 batteries in30mins (fast) or 14hrs (slow). How long should the 1900 battery be charged for or would it be best to get a newer charger?

    Finally, is it possible to make the truck quicker.It is ballraced but thats its. It also seems that most of the Hop-up options have been discontinuted.

    Sorry for the essay
