Cool, Al's carries Savox!

Tell Matt I sent you he will give you a great price.

He starts at 4pm so your set

I think I'm going to ride the Metra there after work tomorrow. I don't want to risk trusting USPS to get it here on time... and if I drive out there during rush hour, they could be closed by the time I get out of downtown :shock:

edit:
Matt has been with a customer, I talked with Adam.
At first he thought they didn't have it in stock but then he found one!
So, I'm heading out there tomorrow after work to pick it up... ohh happy day "thumbsup"

Cool, Al's carries Savox!
I'm thinking of ordering this one, based on a recommendation you made in a thread Neil!
http://store.alshobbyshop.com/hightorquesteelgeardigitalservohighvoltage-coreless.aspx

So, this will be at 6v straight from my Traxxas ESC? I don't have a BEC yet.

I think this would be better http://store.alshobbyshop.com/hightorquetitaniumgeardigitalservo-coreless.aspx

It's cheaper at $80.00 and has more torque at 277 at 6v.

I have one of those on one of my trucks. the Savox are nice. You will need an extended arm as they come with junk. Futaba Spline.

I was considering the 1256 (6v/277.7oz) but decided for long term, the 1258 (6.0v/208.3oz - 7.4v/361oz) would be a better investment... I may need to put it in a Wraith next year

Stop over at True RC tonight and picked up some prizes.

We will be doing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd over all 3s 2100 30c lipo's

Weather.com says Sat high is 71 with a few showers and Sun will be 74 AM clouds/PM Sun... sounds like a nice day to play in the mud "thumbsup"

[papakev01]

I should be there, camera in hand!"thumbsup"

 

[johnnyh66]

I'm currently at 17 scale points but should be at 26 or 29 in time for the event.
I'm going to mount all my scale stuff to my jacked up body. I don't think the paint is going to be striped in time so it won't be pretty but it'll be legal "thumbsup"

I still need to waterproof, cut new upper links and mount all the stuff to the body.

BTW Saydee, Al's was great!
I walked in to get a servo and walked out with the servo, servo horn, maxx yolks, proline accessories, 3 new dynamite hex drivers and a Futuba 4PL!

They did hook me up with the price too.
