Thanks for the compliments guys.
I've used shock boots before, didn't take long to rip them up, then after that all they did was collect dirt. Total breakdown? LOL I just got this truck in running condition. Its not coming apart unless I get a UE Gen4 servo saver to install.
I might wipe the driveshafts off, but thats about it lol

Looks like an air hose job to me...
And what is this gen 4 servo saver?? what does it do better than said gen 3 servo saver?? LoL
(And can I ask for a ballpark as to how much you have into this truck??
did a little bashing today - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-26-2006
just hit it with an airhose to get the water out of the bearings and stuff or u might have to do a tear down, I think the TTR boots fit those shocks, they are the best, and Im not just saying that, I never ripped one

http://www.unlimitedengineering.com/servo_saver.shtml tryin to pick up a used one for $40 to $50
FreeRideJunkie Wrote:And can I ask for a ballpark as to how much you have into this truck??
mmmmm $2,200 sounds good, that includes chargers, cost of replacements for stuff ive broken, motors that are no longer useable, other hop ups that I have bought (and dont run cause I sold them).

Dan, its a UE servo saver. It has the spring attached to the actual linkage for the steering.
Rob beat me to it.
Rob, I seen that you have dibs on the one on UE. Are you getting it? I knew you were looking for one. I was going to say that I know someone who wants one, but I wasn't sure if you had one or not.

Wasn't sure if he sent you any through a PM. I noticed he didn't have any in his thread.

Good God... that would be the day I spend $90+ on a servo saver...
did a little bashing today - MX_KEVIN - 01-26-2006
Dan, you just spent over $100 to get that revo turning. If it were a tmaxx, it would be alot more.

FreeRideJunkie Wrote:Good God... that would be the day I spend $90+ on a servo saver...thats on the old UE site, better pictures. Its $74 on the new site, and like I said, most go for $40 to $50 used.

Thus the reason I don't have a T-maxx anymore. I moved on with the times LoL. Though I would take this maxx anyday...

Is that based on firsthand experience with small dogs stuck to truck axles????

Heres the story, I was out jumping, doing flips, etc, then I just wanted to try to hit the ramp as fast as I could to get some massive air, well the last one I was going to do went WAY higher than I expected, and I sorta forgot to hit the throttle to pitch it back and I did a hard nose dive into the ground (took a pretty big chunk of earth out of the ground) Over the last 2 days, ive done at LEAST 20 hard nose/tail dives, landed sideways a ton of times, etc, lots of abuse, and all that broke was a pillowball. NO damage at all to anything else.

The bad ass Racer X suspension kit DrDex on UE sent me had spare pillow balls, so after not even 3 minutes of work, my truck is back in running condition.
gotta love supermaxxs

Just be thankful that it broke off with enough to grab onto to actually get it out of the arm... That could have been a lot more expensive... (And how do you forget to hit the throttle?? LoL)

i could have just put a slot in it to unscrew it out.
