    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    Yep another good day. I got 3 tanks threw her and all was well. Stripped her down and cleaned her up for another day. I still need to work on driving. It would not shift at first but when she did watch out. Haul some but at that point............

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    Can you believe she ran today? Good call on checking the clutch for the wheel spin issue. That is now resolved with a reseat on that one clutch shoe and sping. I got some half throttle spins out of her in the backyard and all was well. Smoke comes out when I get on the gas but not at idle...

    Thanks for the tip. I hope I have this clutch shoe issue fixed, and I hope this one shoe was causing the wheel spin. If I can get the wheels to stop spinning then I can run this thing. Thanks

    Here is a pic of the raised clutch shoe. I gather the clutch bell will force the shoe to lay down but not sure if that is an issue???? I put it back together and got the shoe to lay down flat and clutch spins free now but not sure if it will raise up again??? Thanks

    OK reseated the shoe and it will not sit flat it wants to pull at tad off the back plate the shoes sit on. Is this a problem or will the clutch bell keep it flat against the back plate? I can hold it down and it aligns with the other two shoes and looks like pic in manual. Any tips...

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    Sorry for the stupid question about taking the engine back out. OK took the engine back out and took the clutch bell off. One of the shoes was not sitting flat on the back plate like the other two are sitting. I think this might be the issue with the wheels spinning non stop??? I took the...

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    OK gave that a try. I was able to get the idle all the way down on the remote but truck is still high rev'd and wheels still spinning fast. I can start to turn down the idle some but truck dies. I did take out the engine yesterday to check the one way bearing could something be wrong witht...

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    OK I will give that a try. The problem is when I touch the needles I really cant tell that it does anything because the idle is turned up so high on the remote. I can try to idle down on the remote but it dies almost everytime. I do see large amounts of nitro coming from the exhaust so its...

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    Its almost 50 degrees out here. OK here is what I have done. Set all needles to factory defaults. Set idle on remote to center. I can take off the foam air cleaner and I see a halfmoon that gets larger when I turn up idle on remote. I can take it down to papersize opening but it will not...

    Which setting will make the carb hole smaller if its large than a piece of paper? I think mine looks somewhat like a half moon if I saw it correctly.

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    So just put it down with the wheels spinning fast? It is going to take off on me and hard to control but I will give it a try. I have read everything and seen everything on Youtube. Nothing has helped so far. Maybe its me and not the truck. I feel like a real idiot that a kids toy is...
