    Sav X won't start

    Thanks! I'll give it a shot. Since this is becoming a tuning issue or so it seems, I'll try your suggestions and then probably push this into the tuning section. Thanks again.

    Sav X won't start

    Thanks! I noticed when I was just runnin it, it was way hot just sittin at idle so I backed the LSN to flush but I'm wondering if that Traxxas fuel may have gummed up inside the carb? Or possibly i now have an air leak and need to seal the motor?

    Sav X won't start

    I was jus messin with it and found the fuel in the line going to the carb to be thick and jelled up a little. Weird, it only sat like a week since I last ran it. Traxxis fuel=bad, good thing I got some Blue Thunder standing by. Thanks for everyone's input, this newbie really appreciates all your...

    Sav X won't start

    Roto start was good I even tried a fully charged battery to make sure. What's Mickey mean above "if the mill has good pinch"?

    Sav X won't start

    I went to start my Sav X today and it just won't start. It's been running up til now but has sat for about a week. Engine turns over but doesn't even attempt to start. Glow plug is good (new) and I checked it in the ignitor, compression seems good, removed plug and turned over engine in case it...

    Fuel vs glow plug Q.

    I've been reading all these posts on fuel and since I'm new to nitro I'm still trying to figure out a few things. I currently have a stock Savage X 4.6 and using Blue Thunder 20% fuel with stock glow plug and I live in Vegas where temps are currently in mid to upper 90's everyday. Engine is...

    Upgrade suggestions?

    Ok, tore things apart and it looks like I toasted the clutch, chewed the spur gear, destroyed the brakes, broke the engine mount and bent the engine plate, damn I hate landing upside down. So larger spur gear and/or smaller clutch gear to increase torque i.e. more wheelies and better back flips...

    Upgrade suggestions?

    Maybe I need to jump in the tuning thread then cause I thought I had it tuned but it's not back flip material. Temps are running 230s-240s but it's hot here in vegas so maybe a need to switch glow plugs. Anyway I'll push this one to the tuning section and still maybe try some different gears...

    Upgrade suggestions?

    No worries, I appreciate all the help from everyone. No idea on the damage yet, haven't started tearing into it. I'll add more to the thread tommorrow night once I get it apart. Still pretty new to the truck but I can manage my way around the mechanical stuff. I'm sure I'll have plenty of...

    Upgrade suggestions?

    Recently I was trying to do back flips with a Savage X 4.6 off the ramp I just built and crashed and burned hard. The motor runs but the truck doesn't move. I haven't taken anything apart yet to determine the damage but I was wondering if anyone could pass along some suggestions as to what to...
