RE: Diff oil in shocks instead of shock oil

You'll probably end up with really stiff shocks and your car may handle really erratically.

RE: Engine stuffed?

Hey dude, 2 things to check:

1) Did you put the sleeve in the right way? There should be a notch on the crankcase and a slot in the sleeve, the notch and the gap in the sleeve should line up...

RE: Idle adjustment

Also remember adjusting the idle is not about trying to get the engine to idle at the lowest possible rpm.

Just adjust it low enough so the clutch shoe's don't engage the bell at standstill.

Hey people, used to be a happy basher, was really impressed by how tough the savage was (other than the bevel gear driving the diff). Now focusing on racing, so the savage is a little neglected atm....

I agree with this suggestion. Completely free and simple.

Highly recommend you try this one before you get all fancy with the new parts and taking apart of things.

RE: New Radio

2.4ghz rx's are generally quite specific with regards to what tx it will work with. Generally no, there's no cross-brand compatibility.

RE: Savage Rebuild

The plastic diff cups were a massive weak point in the older savages. You should consider getting some X diffs.

There are chop shops on ebay that will sell the diff and the ez-access diff...

RE: savage x 4.6 wont prime

I think HPI have only recommended using the roto start to prime because of the fact nitro is poisonous.

RE: Clutch bell and bearing problem

So you have managed to get the bearing on the inside of the clutch bell out already?

If so, get a pencil, or a pen, or anything that sized with a tapered end. Use the instrument of choice and...

RE: Savage mind games (glow plug issue)

Hey guys, found the root cause of the problem.

The glow plug was on its way out, true, but the reason for the little smoke at the start then a gradual pick up in RPM is..... *drum roll* ..........

What battery packs will you be using for the review?

Also, will there be a speed gun involved?

Increasing the number of teeth on the clutch bell or decreasing the amount of teeth on the spur will give rise to more top speed at the loss of torque.
