mike makes a mount

thanks that must of been the one i saw then i wasn't sure if it was for a buggy or not. thanks again.

well i have decided not to use a buggy for my project, decided to see how fast i can get my savage to go instead. so far i have kershaw designs direct drive 43t spur a 38t pinion if it will fit with the spur won't fit with a 47t to big, have some flux tvps on the way, and the flux ESC mount as well. prolines standard road rage tires on RPM wheels and a castle creations 2200 setup right now 3s lipo. i was thinking a buggy going 90 wouldn't be as impressive as a savage going 90 lol or faster we shall see.

Problem is the road rages wont last past 60mph . They will balloon and most likely explode past those speed. Tires are the biggest issue for high speed runs you better do more research before investing a ton of money like I have.

what about hpis phaltline tires?

Good till about 70mph and then epic fail unless you modify them like I show in my gorillamaxx 100mph or bust thread. Even then I havent seen any that have made it to 100mph yet. Nobodies done it yet with a MT.

do you use ca glue or regular super glue or does it matter? i guess i will have to do that with my road rage tires cause first i forgot to tape the inside of them not to mention 2 tire tread is going one way and the other two are going the opposite way, lol my first time gluing tires. if they blow i will try somthing else say the phaltline and tape and fish line them if need be.

Ca+ Strapped tires+ fishing line= happiness


Word from the wise. if you have never glued tires get someone who knows how to. Because if one comes even partialy unglued at speed your car could possibly becaome a 80mph cartwheeling object of (self) destruction.


Mind if I ask how new you are to the hobby?

well nuts i was going to strap them but plum for got to.

well i bought my first hobby grade RC in january of this year had it for about 3 month that sucked real bad (was an Exceed tectonic) then bought my savage in either march or april when brushless with it in june so 9 months with the hobby. so still pretty new, lol.

You have enough money to replace the esc when you smoke it with that big heavy savy?

of course i do, maybe not righ away but i do.

ca glue isn't your best bet when gluing the phaltlines around the rims. IC-2000 is a rubber/ca mix that is stronger than any tire glue i've ever seen. i use it on my phaltliners and 60wt line tie-off and it's done well into the high 70's.

Some guy at jaco told me to use a medium grade thread locker for mounting rubber to plastic wheels. Anybody ever hear of this.

that's not a bad idea, but it could be expensive making a whole bead on 4 tires, both sides. those thread locker bottles are tiny.

I guess you havent seen the big bottles then, same size as any big ca glue container. I dont recomend this I am just wondering if anybody has tried it or if there is truth to this.
