It’s not that 1 mate that 1 as the bolt holes underneath + on sides you don’t need engine mounts for the 1 above 👍

Think they were around in the late 90s early 2000s but not to sure. They came in the RS4 I think.

Ye I got it wi a vintage Hpi rs4 MT - roller would I be rite in saying it’s a toki n not force ? Piston n sleeve are super fresh tho 👍

 

[Gazzman]

Think they were made by Novarossi (Italy)

 

[Gazzman]

If it is a Novarossi .12 it will have C12 under the exhaust port

 

[Gazzman]

just looked it up and early mills were as you say made by Shuwa/Toki

Will do Bro on the motosaver. not seen one for sale for a long, long time.
I have found that RCfanatix. https://rcfanatix.com/ seem to have a good selection of HPI old stock. Not been on their site for a few year and they are in Athens Greece but their shipping cost are or where great. Picked up 5 Bounty Hunter shells and a piston and sleeve for a K5.9 mill back in 2023.

I love the 3 speed, just for the sake of having them. got 3 already. Bought 2 complete and 1 as a kit from 1001hobbies in France. the kit cost around £85 including shipping. not sure if they still have any but got number 4 in the post at the moment, picked it up off eBay from RC Spares UK the other day for £64. Thought I'd grab it at that price.

Like you said about the Motorsaver SAV100 filter, as rare as rockin horse poop over here, gave up looking so have purchased 2 direct from Motorsaver Inc, San Marcos, CA. Should have them by the 15th according to UPS. Same postage for 2 as it is for 1 so may have 1 for sale soon.

Well it will only go on 1 of my shelf queens so sure we can come to some sort of deal when they arrive, as for the 3 speed RC spares UK did have 2 but both sold now. They are one of those eBay sellers like the ones around a few years back when HPI were just getting back on their feet, couldn't get most of the spares back then. They buy complete new savages 3 or 4 at a time and break them for parts. Was the only way to get new stock spares back then. This 3 speed has come from the XL5.9 SBK.

Like wise on that slipper clutch, all still in original packaging, Never really rated them back in the day. Got it with a poop lot of part I bought 4 years ago. some woman on ebay was selling here late or ex husbands trucks and spare, All I want from all the spare was 6 savage fuel tanks, all new never used and 2 being the old primer tanks, got them at give away price of 45 quid the lot. Don't think she know the price of them. Tried to buy the rest of the parts a couple of week late but suddenly she wanted silly money. Think she must have spoken to someone in the RC game. Hayho can't win them all.
