    Engine cuts out

    Hi all, I have a question that I can't figure out with my Savage. It's a Savage 25 with the stock engine. I haven't run in in a couple of years, and I got the urge to run it today. It started up pretty easily, and after a few adjustments idled well. The problem I'm having is that if I...

    Engine back plate / starting the engine

    Your one way maybe ok. I've had this problem with both the roto start back place as well as the pull start back plate. The problem is that fuel/oil leaks from where the shaft goes through, and then the bearing can't grip the shaft. You can clean the shaft and the inside of the bearing with...

    Savage Nano!!

    I hope it is a minizilla in HPI clothing! I have a minizilla that's out of commission, because my diffs in it stripped. If HPI is making it again, then parts will be available again. I have a Brushess Quark/8000kv Wraith strapped in it, and it's a blast when it's running.

    I got me a T - nickname "Basketcase" lol

    Looks good! After I bought my Baja, I rarely play with anything else. I've been thinking of letting all my other RC's go...even my Savages. It's just so much easier to gas and go!

    Dumb stuff?

    I work in accounting, and found that we had accidentally overpaid one of our customers. I asked one of my clerks to call the customer and explain, so that we could make the correct payment. My clerk didn't want to make the call because it was a little embarrassing, but he wanted to fix the...

    How to fix loose carburetor- HPI S and F engines.

    Good tip. I had my carb loosen up on me this summer, and went and traded my carb to one that stuck tight. I think it was a Duratrax one.

    E-Savage parts interchange?

    I haven't tried it. Keep us posted on how it works out. The e-sav is a little smaller then a regular savvy. It's 1/10 scale, so you'd probably have to do some custom stuff. I doubt it'd be drop in, but I could be wrong.

    E-Savage parts interchange?

    Yeah, those plastic telescoping driveshafts suck. T-Maxx ones are a little better, and Kershaw Designs has a set of steel dogbones, that may be better, but they're expensive. Generis Custom Metalworks (GCM) offers a full setup of a-arms and dogbones, but they're even more expensive. The diffs...

    Grub screw

    Anyone know the size of the size of the grub screw that goes on the pipe hanger of the HPI tuned pipe? I bought one on ebay, but it didn't include these screws, so I need to go to the hardware store to find something that'll keep the pipe secure. Thanks.

    Shock starting point

    Hi guys, I was wondering if you could give me a starting point for my shock springs and oil. After tearing apart my X that I got a few months ago, I've found that some of the shocks were empty, so I'll be rebuilding them. I figured it may be a good time to tune the shocks a bit. They're the...
