A Savage tank is a shelf tank you would be able to see more if there was a picture from the other side. I am happy with my 100cc with a small block now if you ran a big block you would have to have it. I know from experience big blocks use fuel at a much faster rate!!!!!!!! One other thing is the half lean problem with the shelf tanks.

I guess if you have enough ingenuity you could build some way to cut the fuel flow to the engine off normally you set the failsafe where it puts the throttle back to idle and apply the brakes.
he can xomeone help me out? i decided to put some air filter oil in a plastic bag and drop my filter in and let it soak, and after starting it up i noticed my engine wasnt running very strong could the air filter being soaked in oil be the problem?? how much oil are you supposed to put on the air filter oh and i have the hpi high flow air filter

Yes if you have too much oil it could restrict the follow of air. I just put a little on the filter and work it in with my fingers you do not want it saturated. That it out put in a rag and squeeze it.
it all depends on what you run your truck on.... i run proline dirt paw tires they seem to work pretty well all around except on concrete

I hate chrome wheels! They look good to begin with but do not take long before they are all beat up with the chrome pealing. What tires do you have and what type of surface do you run on?

No black rims do not peel. When gluing tires to chrome wheels you have to get all the chrome off where the tires glue.

They are very similar to the HPI Dirt Bonz but last a lot longer.

These look good as well.

for cutting holes in bodies I use a few different tools. Dremel with sanding barrel, body reamer, lexan curved scissors.
Got the body for the xmas present all together. Now I'm going to go and rebuild the diffs so I can get the truck together with the new wheels and snap some pics. I'm gonna have a hard time giving this body away!!!!
