5s on 10xl should be great. Gear as low as possible (with in reason of course) at first. Then gear up if everything says nice and cool. I found mine heated up driving off road but was fine on road. Moved the shift point to later and it seems to be fine now off road as well.

Good too hear it, I think I am going to pick up a savage roller. Yours looks really nice. Flm's chassis is really clean.

Sounds like they are unbalanced. You basically need to add weights or dremel material from the inside of the tires until they spin without wobble; good luck with that is all I can say. My jumbo maxx rubbers are very unbalanced and come unglued from the rims almost every run- just gotta keep gluing them back on....

Am I the only one to notice this, but aren't the wheels mounted facing the wrong direction of rotation?

and you didnt have this problem with the other tires/wheels? if not, then it is most likely unbalance tires. maybe try fitting your tires again, the foams may have shifted inside. do you have sloppy steering? make sure all screws are tightened down on the steering assembly. servo saver spring weak? put some toe in on the rear tires. you can try putting some spacers on the front springs to make them stiffer than the rears. check your hindge pins and shock bottom caps.

Thanks Vintage! I did have my tire backwards. Well the steering was not a true problem. I brought my savage in to the shop an ask the. they told me that I will never get the servo to go true 0. We did adjust the sub steering trim and now its prefect.
By the way I have gps this FLM @ 48.2mph geared at 20/52 with my 10xl
