So I went and purchased a couple R/C cars this week, one on-road, one off-road and they’re both brushless electric. Brushless is effing awesome to say the least. I got an HPI Savage Flux and HPI Sprint 2 Flux. On the Sprint, I already tore one of the drive belts (I have a few spares on the way now, I think it was from the small stones/pebbles on the side of the road). The Savage is beast. I haven’t taken it off any big jumps yet, maybe 2-3ft ramps so far. I’ve talked to jdaniels so far about places to bash them around (the truck, the car is just too fast and needs a smooth parking lot), anyone know of more places? ---

Ever take it off any _sweet_ jumps? :lol Theres the guy out here, Cobleskill, that runs the gokart/driving range place, said he was making an off road track, and that they use the kart one for onroad sometimes. ---

if you are looking for a spare savage or a big full of parts (more or less enough to make another machine) I have one for sale AKA collecting dust. ---

Also waiting on the new drive belts, cuz I don’t wanna risk taking it out right now w/ that slight tear on the edge of the belt. I wish it was shaft driven like the RS4’s. I ordered a bunch of stuff today for the Savage to help bulletproof it as best as possible. Should be pretty fun. ---

At this point it gets annoying because I go through 2 things frequently the way I bash… **1** ) Driveshafts - EVERY FUCKING TIME I GO OUT I BREAK A FUCKING DRIVESHAFT (they are MIP X-Duty’s too) **2** ) Tires - I burn up a set of expensive ass pro-lines every other week. I’m switching to chinese welfare tires before I go broke. ---

Oh, and as soon as I get another driveshaft in my Slash 4x4… it’s on! I have several other cars/trucks of my own I will bring (and my cousin will bring his too).
