Did you happen to read any of the post or build threads ?

Love it.http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/membe...3612-49892.jpg

No problem with mine other than a stock drive shaft that wanted to pop off every so often. It now has metal shafts and no problems with the rest of the drive train. Great little truck. I'd buy another if I didn't have more rigs than I need already.

I feel the same as raceeng18. I'd buy it again if I didn't have too many trucks as it is. Other than typical leaf spring gripes, I have really enjoyed mine. "thumbsup"

You handle should be grumpy old man 52. Geez. Lighten up.

Ah come on , really. If you read just the first page you would know that we all love this rig. And ya, maybe alittle grumpy.:lmao:

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

Its a nice little truck with lots of possibilities for a scale build and stuff to tinker with to customize it.

It has a few areas for improvement like the drive shafts. But not anymore than most other rigs.

You do need a set of sun glasses for the glare reflected from the really shiny frame. ;-)

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

Ha! True! I painted my frame before I even considered building the kit. :shock: I don't remember a rig I've had that did not need hardened gears and steel driveshafts almost immediately, so did not even considered them weaknesses.

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

Its a nice simple solid little rig.im actually building my second one a 2.2 rig.i run a tamiya silver can 27t on 2s and it goes just fine,quick enough for trails and still crawls decent.i have a lot of fun with mine and would recommend it to anyone.

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

Are you still using the stock pinion with that setup?

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

Will the battery tray allow running a 3S lipo? Also, could a person retro fit an Axial trans/RC4WD 2 speed in this rig? I shouldn't even be looking at another rig, but damn this hobby is addictive!

You would have to drill new holes in the stock skid or use an axial skid and use spacers as the sawback one is a bit wider but it could be done. Im running an sx10 skid in mine for more clearance and am waiting for my trans to go before installing most likely an rc4wd two speed

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

didn't want to start a new thread so -- if i push through with getting an SB kit, what needed upgrades should i buy with the kit? cvds? driveshafts? is that all?

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

If you're gunna put a big power 3s system or you plan on treating it like a basher, you should invest in some metal driveshafts and the cvd's, but 90% of people run them like a scale truck and haven't broken a thing. I'm up well over 50 hours on mine and the only breakage was a $0.30 battery tie

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

very cool and capable rig, I put cvds and steel driveshafts in mine when I was building it, haven't broken anything yet Buy one and you will like it

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

just ordered a kit from Junfac with CVDs, Steel Driveshafts and... Light bucket kit! harhar! should be here in a week.

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

never heard of this thing til now?
looks pretty sick imo.

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

Love it. This is my new favorite rig!

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

I guess I have 1 gripe that a few others have already discussed, the skid plate. Man today was the last straw for it, I understand there are limitations to everything but I felt silly seeing my rig teeter totter many times on rocks, small branches & a few bricks. Time to look back at the build threads & see what others have already done & how theirs works for em.

Re: how does every one like there sawback
 

i have a spare R1 delrin skid that i hope will work.
