    That 3d printed speed car was defiantly a funny video to watch, although it is a shame that a $1600 prototype disintegrated immediately, The concept is good, but it shouldn't have costed $1600 for people to test it.

Mine had no quality control what so ever so I sent it back. I've been into RC for a long time and I have never had such a terrible experience with an RC as I did with that "NEW" Savage, I honestly wish I'd bought a decent used one.

    Having hub motors comes with a lot of problems. There's a reason (actually a lot) noone uses hub motors.
    The weight of the motor introduces high inertia, so the hubs get a lot more punishment on every bump. And it makes the suspension react more sluggish. So the vehicle becomes unstable on anything that isn't silky smooth.

    • @kiwi8054
      @kiwi8054 Год назад +3

      It would probably be better off having the motors at the center where there still 4 motors but you have a drives haft to the actual wheel , that would get rid of the unsprung weight and probably make it a lot better

    • @garage5125
      @garage5125 Год назад +2

      In fact, even teslas actually have two motors with driveshafts to them to minimize unsprung mass. also, due to the gyroscopic effect, even with good steering, it would be pretty hard to turn wheels. Especially combined with hard suspension and many of the parts made from 3D printed plastic😆😆

    Great video again Kevin,
    I have multiple Arrmas 8s cars and a Traxxas X-maxx. Both brand are best in there own way. In my opinion for bashing in the woods Arrma is the way to go. But on tarmac the Armma is to heavy and bends easy. Traxxas is in my opinion better on tarmac than for bashing in sand and the woods.

    For me as a person who loves RC cars I am very interested in your videos. I know you take your RC cars to the limit, and bash them way harder then I do. However I know if the RC can make it with you then I am in good shape. You provide a lot of knowledge and tips on how to improve RC cars to make them as reliable as possible. This all means a lot to me. If the company has fixed all the issues with their RC car they should send you another one to show how the improvements have gone. It’s ok for a company to send items to people for a durability test and if it fails that ok. However for a consumer of high end RC cars I need to see this car run before I ever consider purchasing one. Kevin, thank you for your hard work and all the effort you put into making these videos.

    • @F140KTT
      @F140KTT Год назад

      All Savage trannies seem to be temperamental and need alot of fiddling with the clutch adjustment to get them to shift right. I have 13 of these models and don't think any of them have the clutches set the same.

    I have the old SavageXL, it does shift but you need to tune the engine really well for it to hit a good RPM and, its been a while, but I remember that I had to open the transmission, not just use the screw, to get it to shift smoother. Havent touched it in year, revised the engine last year (was totally gunked up and stuck) and used it, shifted perfectly. Its all about tuning and loosen the tranny inside and not just the screw.

    The Mammuth website has it now for $1550 - $2075. $2075!! They offer it now at $2075 which comes with some carbon fiber reinforced suspension parts and a 400kv motors(instead of the 300kv version. So now to really rub your nose in it, these brothers charge an extra $525 and don't even give you batteries or a radio. Great concept car, but crappy implementation.

    I think you’ve been more than fair Kev. I agree about the Mammuth as a concept. It could be opening the door to a lot of possibilities for speed and traction control. I think they chose poor methods of manufacturing though. Needs more development and injection moulded plastics.
