It's a 1/10 stadium truck. Better handling than the MT's due to lower CG but less 'trashable' than MT. HPI makes quality stuffs. :)

[inspector]

Thanks again
I guess I will stick with Savage 25.
But it is going to be quite difficult to bring it back from HK becos of the size.
:z

Just check it in! If there's a will, there's a way! :L :L :L

[inspector]

I dun think they will let me hand carry it to the plane becos of the size. And if I check in, I scared they might mis-handle it. It's not cheap, U know?
Maybe take them apart and house it into my luggage. Tat's the best way I guess. :D

:L :L :L You worry too much. Should be OK lah. It's a kit and everything is packed nicely inside. If you're afraid, pack it into a slightly bigger box, and stuff foam, bubble sheets, etc inside lor.

My T-Maxx RTR came this way all the way from USA with not a scratch. :D

[inspector]

So you order your T-Maxx from state is it? You ordered it online? If yes, there is a few online hobby shop which I plan to order at first, but dunno if it will turn out to be more expensive. If there is no hiden costs then it will be much cheaper then HK too. :D

I ordered mine from Tower Hobbies. No extra hidden costs. You pay wat's indicated in the price, plus freight minus any discounts. However, you can't order Savage or any other HPI stuffs in the net, coz HPI has prohibited Towers from exporting HPI stuffs. :mad:

[inspector]

Wowww
I just email to Tower Hobbies this morning as I can't order the HPI from them. I am still waiting for their reply. So how much you pay for the Handing fees and also Flight charges? And how long it takes them to delivery to your house?

Just go through the buying part, click any kit you like, and a window will come out for you to calculate the freight. As long as you have not typed your cc no in and press confirm, there's no sale. :D

I took the cheapest freight. 6 weeks before I saw my T-Maxx. :)

[inspector]

Thanks Mad Armour
I have calculate out the price it's still abit more then what I can get over here. And seems like quite alot of shops over here dun carry Savage 25. Guess I have no choice but to get it here. Wat do you think? Is there any more great off road truck other then Revo and Savage?

[sspp]

Just check it in! If there's a will, there's a way! :L :L :L

what way....bring 7 kits back last time....only way is bluff your wife to help u carry also.... :L :L :L :L :L :L

[inspector]

Too bad I'm on business trip and sadly I dun have a wife to help me carry. :D

4 kits should pose no problems then! :L :L :L

[inspector]

I wonder they let me hand carry to the plane.
If I buy just the kit, I can put it into my luggage, but the RTR is too hugh to put it in. :bh

You'll really need to squeeze the kit in your hand lugguage, and I'm not sure they let metal stuffs pass the security. Make sure you leave all tools in your check-in bag.

If you buy RTR, you can remove the wheels and body and pack the chassis in your lugguage case. Body you can hand carry, sure no problem.

Frankly speaking, I really don't think you have to worry checking the box in. It's well protected and the MT's not that fragile.

[inspector]

Ok
I will do it!
It have been drving me crazy looking at the Truck and never buy it!
I guess I will test run it at a big field near my place. Is there any more things I have to know, before buying and play it? Sorry, I am very new with GP things. :D

Just BUY it! :L :L :L Then let us know wat you got.

[fuse]

dont forget your fuel, fuel bottle and glow heater!!!!
last but not least 8 aa cell for the radio and 4aa cells for the truck.

warning do not use 4 AA rechargerable batts ... they do not have enough voltage as compared to 4 AA normal dry cells.


rechargeable is only 1.25 V each

normal dry cell is 1.5V


so 4 AA recharge :sneaky: cells is only 5v
and 4 AA dry is 6V

[inspector]

Sure!
Will try to get it today.
They dun have much range for MT except Savage and some 1/10 scale. Yesterday, the new MT 1/7 scale Spyder from Trinity just arrived but it'e selling at HK$4000.00 plus! Around SG$1000.00 plus.
I know Trinity make damn good MT but I'm not going for tat price. :nono

[fuse]

when are you coming back to sg? from HK?

[inspector]

I am coming back this friday! From HK
Now I am blur! I just brought a Tamiya Max Climber and I need to fixed it and now I am going to buy the Savage 25! Manzzzzz I will be very busy. :D
I think I can't get fuse back lah.
Sxxx, I can't play it till I get the Nitro in SG! :fire:
BTW, pls tell me wat is a Lipo Batt? :D

Fuel cannot bring back, sure 'choong koong' at the customs! :L :L :L

Another option, which I prefer, for the Rx batt is the rechargable 5 cell NiMh pack. :)

[inspector]

Thanks guys
guess I will get another Batt Pack from here. Not enough will get it in SG.
The price for a "OK" Pack is around SG$45.00. Intellect 3600. Is tat cheaper then SG?
Sanyo cost around SG$70.00

Oi! The stick pack (6 Sub C cells) are different from reciever pack hor. Dun buy the wrong one. Just tell that guy 'reciever pack' and he'll know wat to give you. Just make sure it fit into the reciever box of your MT. Some reciever pack is arranged in straight pack and some in hump (3 below, 2 on top) pack. Just get the one that fits.

Some samples here Reciever Packs (http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=421_52_347)

[inspector]

i tot you say you used to play.......so stay which hotel.....stanford ah

[inspector]

I "USED" to play, yes .... tat was about 6 yrs ago. Stop playing becos to busy with my work. But now my work are more relax and I have more free time so I decided to hook back into the Track. :D
I stay in New World Renaissance Hotel at TST so it's pretty near to MK

[PCC]

...... check it in and tell them to label it as fragile.

I brought my MT2 back that way from Japan - I was in a rush and did not even put an external box or tie it up (they taped it up for me at the check in counter). The box was in excellent shape.

[inspector]

Guess tat's the only way.
I dun care about my equipment got crash or spoilt when I check in, but now I am worried about my MT . :L :L :L :L :L
Guess my company will be happy to know tis. :D

[PCC]

hey..... and maybe dun try to hand carry. Most of the time ok but once I carried my Tamiya Twin Detonator and there were metallic stuff inside and I was made to open everything up - I guess if there is a knife or nail clipper looking thing they will detain it (shock stays?)

[Mad Armour]

You are strong, young man mah! :L :L :L Hmmm......young man nowsadays like to comprain, comprain and comprain.

[inspector]

Yah, I know tat
Well, I will see how the things goes. If not I will just buy it when I come back here again end of the month. I do have my Max Climber to bring back also.
:rolleyes:

[inspector]

I dun mind carrying if they let me. I just dun feel good checking in my MT.
Those guys dun care about wat U have inside, even if you put Frangile
