It was my Savage X that I converted. I've inspected all the gears and all look good. Although, I did just notice the spur is slipping even when I move it by hand hmmmm...maybe I need a new slipper pad. Hmm
Motor wasn't getting hot. I did just eyeball the mesh. Thank you.
This I will try, thank you. Although I think I might've done this already. I'm also going to check my solder connections because I'm assuming a bad solder connection wouldn't let much power go through, right?
So, I want to run my Savage XS on 3S but do I really have to change the gears? I just don't feel like taking the whole thing apart right now to run it on 3S. Any feedback would be great, thank you.

So I got a Mamba Monster 2 ESC and a Neu-Castle 1515 2200kv motor. I'm used the conversion kit from HPI to strap these bad boys in along with a little rigging. Everything looks good. Also, i'm using 2 Bias 3S 50c 5000mah lipos. I'm thinking this thing should rock!!!
1. It sounds like...
Thanks everyone for the feedback! Although, there was a slight change in plans! I decided to buy an iPad instead! Yeah one of my other joys. It's been a long time since any new electronics! Thanks for the help. Got the iPad mini and love it!
Btw I love my Savage! What a great truck! I was actually thinking about the Savage xs as well but it just seems small and not really track friendly either.
Thanks guys! I already own a Savage X SS. I was just looking for something to use in snow and wet conditions. Bashing would probably be main but I wouldn't wanna rule out taking it to the track. Indoor or outdoor. The thing I like about the Rally is its both onroad and off and waterproof...
In the market for new 1/10 rig...Is Traxxas Rally a good choice? Just wondering. I mean I'm pretty set on it but just looking for feedback from anyone who has it. What upgrades are needed? Or is there any thing else you recommend over that. Thanks. Dave
Just wondering, what lipo settings do i use on the esc when I have 2 2s batteries in series? Do i use 4s cutoff which i'm assuming or 2s cutoff?? I think 4s but not sure, please help. I've taken some time off and feel really rusty!!! Need more time for RC! Thanks guys!
How you doing? I'm confused. I'm running 2 2s batteries in series. I have an RX8 ESC. How should I set the voltage cutoff? At 2s or 4s? Thanks so much!
Why I don't know? But my gensacearespammers 5000mah 4S1P battery is only reading 3 cells on my charger! Why?! This battery was great! Can I even use it? Why would this happen? This battery has been taken care of very well! Thanks!
Yeah ESC burnt up inside a little too! I junked it don't want to risk it. I'm saving for an Tekin RX8 so thankfully this happened now and I can learn from it!
