    Spur gear/clutch bell question

    I’m running a HPI 16 tooth hardened clutch bell with a 49T plastic spur on my X4.6. No matter what I do I cannot get the gears to mesh flush with each other. The truck runs great and can do a standing back flip once it’s warmed up! I never really noticed this before and yesterday I did a...

    Savage X 4.6 losing fuel pressure and cutting out

    Hey guys. My Savage has been losing fuel pressure from the main fuel line going to the carb. It will run a few good powerful runs and pop wheelies then cut out and die.
