Vectra's ebay bargains

Plug

No they're only 2 wheel drive, truggys are different basically a buggy with monster truck sized wheels and tires, monster truck body with a spoiler and can't be 2 speed only single. They are still faster than monster trucks tho.

Spitfire666

why "cant" they be 2-speed? i was gonna say would that be along the lines of the traxxas warhead when in the race mode?

Plug

The warhead is duratrax not traxxas. The reason theyre single speed is simply racing rules the same goes for stadium trucks. Monster trucks have to remove the reverse gear:)

OR WAS IT A HOPPED UP ONE YOU WANTED?

I considered buying one of those before but to be honest they are only a bit of a Toy.. 2WD lightweight.. Engines burn out pretty quickly.:(


Better off going for a beefy model.

Something like this

Those engines are awesome powered.;)

it looks great, sounds great....wen its not on the ground , then when its on the ground it has no power but is hammering out the revs, that and the pullstart the pull start is something that nothing can really be done about tho,

What do you mean hammering out the revs ??
just sitting there and revving its N*tz off when you work the throttle?
That sounds like Clutch slipping or something?


And what you mean nothing can be done with pullstart..
i thought the savvys had a Roto start system?

tallus

some have rotostart some have pullstart I think the savage 25 ss has a pullstart, whereas the savage 25 rtr has rotostart.

You know the old debate over which is best.. HPI ot Traxxas..

have you checked for clutch slip?

HPI Slipper clutch Walkthrough..!!

tallus

they are interchangable yes, but not without taking the engine out and changing the back plate and adding whichever fixture you need.
If savages were so crappy heh, why are there so many of them about They are an excellent truck and can take a good pounding without falling apart, I mean I have hit trees with mine going pretty fast and got no damage whatsoever. I have upgraded my engine and bought hopup brakes and a three speed gearbox yes, but everything else is standard in it. Tbh the upgrades were to do with me having more money than sense at the time than performance related issues.

I got offered one that was never used (Minus Radio Gear) €100..:eek:

I reckon in the region of €150 MAX. if it is complete.

Are they the electric ones or the nitro ones?

I got an almost complete electric one (needed some parts but i was buying it as parts) for something like 40 euro!

That seems like a bit price gap - but joebhoy1916 will presumeably have a bunch of car magazines too which he didn't mention.
