Once again I highly suggest pull start. I went down a long pricy road trying to keep my roto start. At the end I ended up changing a engine I got as roto start to pull start and I am super happy. Parts cost money. None of this stuff is cheap. I keep hearing awesome stuff about the LRP engines. I got a novarossi because that's just what I wanted. I don't think you could go wrong with either brand but once again just due to my own experience I would highly suggest a pull start. Also I hate RC planet because of poor customer service reps like Nicole lol
I'm not sure who your addressing but the writer of this post is trying to figure out how he broke two conrods and we're just to help. I never broke a conrod but I had a bad experience with roto starters. The savage is the only rc I had with a roto starter and after I screwed up the engine I had nothing but problems trying to put in another roto start engine. At first I got an engine with a input for the roto start shaft. I got the correct roto start shaft that didn't fit the savage roto starter. Then I used a drill that and when ever I tried to start the engine it will give me problems. Most likely due to tuning issues even a factory settings. I broke two of the correct shafts then I gave up on roto starters all together and just switched the engine to pull start which just ended up costing me more money. I feel like I could have just used the extra money to get a better engine. Once again I hate RC planet for having poor customer service reps like Nicole.Could you explain to us how you broke 2 conrods using a rotostart/drill?
Cheers.
Get a pull start. Although you won't be able to start the engine with the body on unless you cut a hole on the body you won't have to worry about a broken roto start rod, batteries or anything else. You most likely got a roto starter with your savage but no telling with type of input the engine will have and you don't want to get your engine then have to search for a roto starter rod. I been through it. I got my novarossi engine to have to go buy a roto start rod that didn't fit my roto starter so I had to use a drill. Broke two rods. Finally got tired and just changed it to pull start. Cost me over 40 bucks. Get the pull start. As always never shop RC planet due to their terrible customer service reps. Mainly Nicole.
The whole time I was talking about roto start shafts. I think if you look at the post I referred to the roto start shafts as rods several times. Please I'm sorry if I made some sort of of grammer errors or used the wrong terminology but we must focus on helping this gentlemen stop breaking conrods and get him enjoying his beautiful Savage. Sorry his very beautiful Savage because we all know all Savages are all beautiful creatures sent to us from up above for doing something right in our lives. There not just 500 dollar toys. Also nice emoji dude. Cute. I had another question about the conrods. How are you stopping the engines? I heard of people stopping engines by forcing a screwdriver into the flywheel and stopping it that way. I tried it with my tuning screw driver and it just felt wrong. I don't know if your could harm a engine that way but I'm curious. As always I hate RC planet due to poor customer service reps like Nicole. I have get a signature with that on it. LolYou mentioned here that you broke 2 rods as well. I was asking you. I'm aware what the OP has asked and have advised accordingly. That's all. ?
She is gorgeous. I like the aluminum shock towers, handle and extra shocks. I seems like you lined some of the chassis with rubber to absorb shock. Very smart especially for the gas tank. The tanks are hard to come by last I checked. You may want to get a tank guard. They come in just about every color and there about 13 bucks. Those tires are cool as hell. I love that engine heat sink it look like you have gas lines running directly into the engine. Sweet ride. I almost forgot that wheelie bar. It looks like one of the better ones. I put up a post of my little girl a week or two ago. You making want to go out and get more parts. Are those new servo throttle arms better then stock?. I never touched the wheels, shocks or throttle arms this is my kid. I know she very low but a mainly run her in parking lots. Savages are the best. Endless choices of what you can do. Once again gorgeous ride.View attachment 8103
Savages are cool as hell, that's for sure. This one here is nearly 17 years old.
They're well worth persevering with! ?
