    Wierd Axial .32 problem.

    It happens from full all the way to close to empty tank. I also changed the route the fuel tubing was running from behind the engine to the front and it still had the problem. I finished the break in process and started to tune for performance. The problem seemed to go away. Very...

    HPI Big Bore Shocks - Install & Pics

    I just got my new big bores and put some 30wt oil in. It seems like they would help cornering a hell of a lot. I however was going for a bash session so i put a stock shock on each corner as well. Jeez they handle the jumps extremely well, a lot better than stock shocks and they handle 100%...

    Using different nitro content.

    I went at the local LHS and bought some 20% nitro thinking that that was what nitro % i usually use on my savage. When i got home i realised i have been running 25% nitro the whole engines life. Now i have already opened the bottle ( i had a whiff cause i love the smell lol) and i cant...

    Different wheels for front and back.

    I was wondering if anyone has ever used different pairs of wheels for the front and back of their savage? ie a pair of stock savage wheels at the front and a pair of big joes on the back or vice versa. I am wondering if there are any gains in having a set up like this as oppose to all wheels...

    Going from K4.6 to LRP what al is needed?

    Hey Shift i just put a lrp .28 spec 3 in my savage and there is such a massive power difference. The nose loves to lift:) I just put a Hpi polished pipe on and the power is insane:) So i guess with the buku pipe youll have even more power. In any case the Lrp mill is very powerful and...

    Better Tune pipe

    The ribbed one is way too loud for my ears. I like the sound it makes when I'm at my bash spots but i don't like running it on my street. After 5 mins of running the car i literally see the neighbours close all their windows lol!

    Better Tune pipe

    All the pipes in sydney retail for around AU $80- $150! I was quoted $100 for the HPI polished pipe here! I wish i lived in the US, id be buying parts left right and centre! Ebay FTW:)

    Savage 4.6/3.5 rtr exhaust pipe differences?

    I'm trying to tune the engine to suit the hpi ribbed pipe with no luck. i can get it running alright but cant get a real good tune from the engine as oppose to having the stock 4.6 rtr pipe on the LRP which i can get tuned and ready to bash in 5 mins. I was quite happy with the LRP/ 4.6 rtr...

    Savage 4.6/3.5 rtr exhaust pipe differences?

    I have the ss pipe, i started a thread about tuning the ss pipe. How do other tuned pipes like the buku perform compared to the ss? I find that being a noob its very hard to get a decent tune with my LRP .28 and the ss pipe combo but with the stock pipe on the LRP i can get a tune in a...

    Savage 4.6/3.5 rtr exhaust pipe differences?

    Hey guys is there any power difference between the savage x rtr stock pipe and the savage 3.5 stock pipe? I broke my stock savage 4.6 pipe and a mate gave me a spare pipe he had on his savage. It looks to be the savage 3.5 pipe. I haven't had a chance to run the car cause of the rain so i...

    Lrp spec 3 .28 with SS tuned pipe

    Hey guys thanks for the replies:) I put the stock pipe back on cause i can get a sweet tune out of it. I then noticed smoke coming out of the backplate. I'm sure that that is causing some problems with the SS pipe so I'm gonna seal the engine asap and see if that helps.
