    New 4.1 Break In Problem

    I used some Mil-Spec RTV and it seems to have held. The break in is still going smoothly (I plan to run 6-9 tanks of fuel before full throttle). I want to have this thing bashing again this weekend. Thank you for all of your help Run!

    savage x 2-speed factory setting

    Hello, I was running my 4.1 savvy x and noticed that it was no longer shifting. I pulled the top have of the case off and noticed the allen screw had fallen out. Does anyone know where to set the allen screw from fully closed? I plan on using some loc-tite this time.
