Hey everyone! Remember me?
I haven't done hardly any r/c stuff since starting my 1:1 Mustang project with my a son a couple of years ago. However, I was sitting here at my computer yesterday/last night, too cold to go out side so I thoughts to my self "self,why not order some parts and get the Savage on the road again?" Myself answers and says "yeah,that's a darn good idea!. We are supposed to have snow and long winter this year"
So I'm thinking this gonna happen and I go to order some parts. All I need is a couple of bulletproof diff gear sets and a new rx battery. I was surprised when I could not find any diff gears in stock ANYWHERE!! Then I starts to look at other items and find there isn't much support for the ole' Savage anymore, didn't even find many options for a new shell. What the heck is up with that? Has r/c fallen down that much over the last year or two?
Then there is my second issue with this idea. Fuel!!! I have brand new bottle of Losi Nitrotane but when I thought about it, I purchased it when my Mom was in the nursing home in Springfield. My Mom passed away almost 6 years ago!!! And Joplin does not have an r/c shop anymore.
Well DARN.......
