RE: OFFICAL SC10 thread

I just got an SC10 and I'm thinking about brushless options. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, how much power is reasonable to keep the truck drivable? 4600kv? 5700kv? As of right now,...

RE: The UPS man just left! LRP ZR.30!

I love my Spektrum DX3S (in my Savage), but as I mentioned yesterday in a different string, it has been far from giving me exact temp readings that I get with a temp gun. I've tried moving it up and...

RE: New Picco Pics and a Temp question

Yeah, I'm going to have to do something with the pipe, so thanks for those suggestions. If nothing else, I need to keep the header off of the right rear shock (which you'll see in my original...

RE: New Picco Pics and a Temp question

It's the 086. Yeah, I need to do that, but hadn't come up with a good way to bend the metal mount to get it to reach. Any suggestions? So far, I've only been doing low speed breaking in, but I do...

New Picco Pics and a Temp question

After endless problems with my stock K4.6 engine, I finally upgraded to a Picco .28 after reading plenty on these boards. I've idled a tank, heat cycled a few more, and now run a few tanks on the...

RE: LRP Engines - Any thoughts?

Yeah, I may just be patient and see what people think of the LRP .30 before I do anything, and then decide between that and a Picco. I'd still like to get my K4.6 working right, even if I know I'll...

RE: LRP Engines - Any thoughts?

Having read a bunch of the threads, I know all the reasons I should just buy a Picco .28. I think the main reason I'm torn is b/c I've had so many problems with my K4.6 that I don't want another...

RE: LRP .30 Spec 2 ON SALE

You got me all excited thinking it was now in stock! What a tease. :D I'm so determined to get my K4.6 finally working, I can't decide if I want to buy one of these or not (although I probably...

Sealing a front bearing on a K4.6

Is there any way to do this? Thanks to BudBud for all the tips on sealing the carb and backplate on my K4.6. I was able to do all of that without an issue, but tonight I took the flywheel off for...

Thanks for the response scarlet. As for the other comment about countless threads, I apologize for rehashing an old topic, which was not my intent. I have likely read most of those posts, hence the...

RE: LRP Engines - Any thoughts?

Anyone run an LRP in a Savage that could at least let me know what you think of the engine and what pipe and glow plugs you run? Thanks.

What glow plugs do you run in your MMGT 3.0?

I'm giving my brother one of these for his birthday and want to buy some spare plugs. What do you recommend / use? Thanks in advance.

LRP Engines - Any thoughts?

I'm thinking about an LRP ZR.30 Spec.2 which I think is supposed to be released in the next 2 weeks. I've had nothing but trouble with my K4.6 since I built my X SS kit, and I'm thinking about this...

RE: Savage X Tuning and K4.6 air leak issues

I've now checked all the needles, and all of the o-rings look intact. I cleaned the HSN and LSN just now, and put teflon on the LSN threads. Otherwise though, everything looked normal (based on...

RE: Savage X Tuning and K4.6 air leak issues

Anyone have any ideas here? As I said, I've sealed the engine (carb and backplate), it seems to be very rich at low end (loading up and tons of smoke at early acceleration), but once I get to about...

RE: Savage X Tuning and K4.6 air leak issues

It does cut out within about 5 seconds when I pinch the fuel line (I did it tonight to stop the engine once). I don't think the brakes are an issue because I don't have them set very tight, and the...

RE: Savage X Tuning Question

Yeah, I have the carb pinch bolt unscrewed and out already, but the carb is still in there solid. Do I need to remove the threaded insert by tapping on it, or am I missing something?

RE: Savage X Tuning Question

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what/where is the carb pinch bolt? I just want to make sure I'm tapping / pulling in the right place so I don't damage anything. Thanks.

RE: Savage X Tuning Question

Hear you on the shifting, but I think I have another issue as well (tuning or otherwise). At low speeds, the engine sounds fine (similar to BudBud's video above), and it wheelies with ease. But at...
