Hi,
I just got a Savage for myself and am slowly learning the ropes (aka just took it out of the box and tightened the screws). It was raining all day today so I was bummed not to get started on the break in. Just wanted to say hi and let you all know how helpful your posts have been as far as choosing the Savage truck!

welcome, have fun with your new savage! its one tough cookie [sm=punching.gif]

jennabear

yes I already took the roto start off it and put a pull start on....not wanted to tear up the one way bearing just yet.....

crazypyro013

make sure to loc-tite anything metal-to-metal, while you wait for the weather to get better, if you already haven't

jennabear

What would you suggest is the best stuff to buy cause I can go and get some and do that tomorrow

jennabear

also I am looking into a motor saver and trying to find the best deal....any suggestions?

vizaracer

were are you going to drive it?? have you taken a look at that rock quarrel place by the rockville ice rink?? i bet that would be fun if they allowed you to drive there.

jennabear

Are you from Rockville? I think any construction place (which rockville has tons of them) would be great for this thing!!!

crazypyro013

motor saver difinitely... it really depends on how much you have..... i've been running mine bone stock, except for my secret home made stuff for 3 weeks, its been ran over, and beating..... haven't had to buy any stronger pieces yet

hey fellow MD person that happens to be a girl cause im a guy anyways! yes rockville has many places to run a savage...and hi again![sm=surprised.gif]

vizaracer

im from annapolis. i use to place hockey at the rockville ice rink though. i just moved and want back there. dont like it here. thats how i know alot about there.

jennabear

lol, my LHS is quite expensive and I already bought a fuel filter and a new fuel line. Looking into a different pipe as well since I hear the stock ones are not anything to write home about. I am hesitant to ask the lady at the HS how much the filter is but maybe i will just have to wait til some auctions end on ebay......

jennabear

Good to know there are places to go and bash this thing around!!! What part of MD are you from??

jennabear

AH I see....I just moved here from California!! Let me say...quite a difference! No surfing :-( ANd snowboarding is better in Tahoe

jennabear

Anyone got a good suggestion for a "cheap" pipe to put on the Savage 25 RTR. I have an friend with an SS pipe on hand but I think there has got to be something out there better.

[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDVK7&P=7]Hot Bodies[/link] makes a good pipe. I've been running one for a couple gallons & have no complaints. It helps a lot on the bottom & mid ranges but doesn't do much top end. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Nitro! Now get in, sit down, shut up & hang on!! lol Killer choice on the Savage!

jennabear

I am real excited to get this thing broken in and take it to town!! I will have to look into the Hot Bodies pipes. Know anything about RD Logics pipes?

Even if your not buying here, it'll give you some ideas of how much the LHS is trying to hose you for.


Oh and BTW Welcome aboard!

jennabear

Thank you for your help! I will definitely check it out!

jennabear

I know this is probably a stupid question but I am quite confused. The antenna wire for the RTR is so long. Is it bad to cut it to fit in the tube? I thought only a little was supposed to stick out the top of the tube? HELP!!

G1GY

NEVER CUT THE ANTENNA WIRE!!!


It's tuned an has to remain that long.


*Edit*

Just put all the extra wire in the radio box.

jennabear

I will do that. I didnt think that cutting it would be a good thing. But I didnt know if it should run a certain length out of the tube. Thank you for your help!

G1GY

Just a little peice should stick out of the tube for that little black cap to squeeze over.

jennabear

Well my savage now has a girly look and I made the wire do a corkscrew down the side of the tube. I think it looks cool personally

crazypyro013

thats what i did
