ok ive got a savage x 4.6f and i love it however im having a probelm, the problem is im getting a delay in the throttle, like if i nail it the truck will stay nailed for like 1/2 a second longer than i want and it scares me to death... its not the stock radio, its a JR x2i... stock radio that comes with a muggy any help would be great!

So you hit the throttle and when you let off it still keeps going for a little bit? Is it going back to idle or is your idle set too high? If you fully hit the brake, then does it act normal?

sounds like a radio problem i was getting this, best bet time for a new throttle servo man, mine was doing the same, burnt out and had a wot picco runaway mind you i did have a spektrum in at the time... could also be a low battery, and even if its fully charged, how many charges has your battery seen? cause they will start to wear down and not hold a charge like they use to.

the battery is still good. it might have been a low batt cause now its fine

I would suggest checking your thottle linkage settings. do not start the truck but turn it on as well as the transmitter. give it full throttle and see what the linkage does. sometimes the linkage settings slip a little and they might just be sticking. not doubting what the others have suggested just something else I would check if it were me

All of my nitros do that when the batteries get low. Most of the time I charge them before they get that bad.

Could be a tuning issue. Failure to return to a steady idle in a timely manner is also a sign of a lean Low Speed Needle.
Make sure your throttle/brake servo and linkage are not binding and if it continues check your tune.

shoot i throw my trucks on a trickle charger on thursday night if I know i am running on the weekend. gives it two nights to fuel up the cells. of course i never run my batteries dead either.

Check your return spring (obvious) and then head down Parputt's path and richen your LSN some.

I had this exact same thing happen. I used the stock linkage on a metal geared servo. This doesn't work so well when you "tighten" down the servo screw "tight". The stock throttle/brake linkage isn't made to be torqued down tight. If you tighten it too much, then the throttle and brake horns can't slide. If you take it apart you will see what I mean.

So, just check to see if you tightened the servo horn screw down too tight.....
