| Stick's 2013 Chump RT2 build
Well it's 2013 and that means its time for another build. Here's a short post on what I'm working with. I've had this set of loaded axles laying around for some time now and figured now is the time to put them to good use. The day my Chump came in, I instantly went to work on the build. Here are a few pics of how it currently sits. Take a look and let me know what you all think. -Stick Attachment 221759Attachment 221760Attachment 221761Attachment 221762Attachment 221763 |

I think that some body off pics are in order. Looks good - I like the red tubes. |

Man why did you not anodize that Servo case? Looks great Stick, hope to see it at the big comps this spring/summer, though any chance I'll get to beat you? |

The z9100hvt Jr servo comes that way . It's a great looking servo but from the 2 I have they didn't live all that well. sent from Team Angry Birds |

All I run on my comp rigs are 8711hv's at 8.5 to 9 volts. The one on my 2012 comp rig has been going strong for over a year and a half now. All I've ever had to replace is the one fiber gear inside two times. All other servos I've tried just don't seem to last.

I'm not sure if the internals are the same as the 8711 or not but I've trashed all other servos I've tried. Some don't last a day. I trashed one of those big hitecs in a day. That was a hurt piece. I went back to the 8711hv and have had zero issues since. I always make sure my end points are correct and so on. I don't know, I can't explain it. I just know that's the servo for me. -Stick King |

Yes I have a DD. it was a DD berg until last Sunday. I tore it down to do an xr DD build. I hopefully will have the xr axles in my possession this sat so I can get it back together. It was a fun rig to drive! -Stick King |

HiTec 7950. Tanis and 666 told me to get it cause it withstands their abuse and I did (Losi). Looks good, Mike. |
