    2 Spur gears

    Ok Thank you. I don't think the idle is too high, the truck sets perfectly still when idling. The wheels will spin slow when it is upside down, but thats it. It will take all the teeth off all the way around except about a 1/16 of in inch of teeth around the edge. I don't know if that could be...

    2 Spur gears

    My friend has a new Savage x 4.6. I hate to say it but he has had alot of trouble with his. I haven't had much trouble but my own fault. His first time out he broke a pinion gear, melted the slipper clutch into the spur gear. Next day he tore all the teeth off of the spur gear. We changed all...

    fuel tank broke

    my tank is angled a little too toward the top, but the shock tower bolt is still about an inch away, but it still hit it and knocked a hole in it. I might try to silicone some thin cut pieces of aluminum to the tank so it will take some of the brunt of impact. Still going to turn the bolts...

    fuel tank broke

    Thanks,, never thought about that. DUH! I even have holes poked through my body where the bolts have came through it. I'll turn em around and see. I thought about cutting thin pieces of aluminum and siliconing them to the tank to help, but i'll see if this works first. It's hard to believe that...

    fuel tank broke

    My and my friend ran both of our new Savages today. We were ramping about a distance of 15 feet. His quit running and we couldn't get it to run again. We got to looking and his stock fuel tank was busted in the back. It had a hole poked through it right in front of the rear shock tower. We...

    Whooooaa No brakes

    Thanks. I have since put in a high torque servo, and solved the problem. How much running can you get out of a hump pack battery pack. Can you get a full day of it, or not. I kind of like the ease of changing out AA's. Thanks again.

    switching servos

    Thanks, I figured the steering wouldnt be better. I was mainly wanting to verify that my brakes would be better with a higher torque servo. It did help alot, but I need a higher torque servo for steering. thanks again.

    anyone have bumper problems?

    Ok,, hard to explain. My savage is about a month old. I have had some pretty bad landings. My front and rear bumpers have two screw down through the top that screw into the skid plate. No problems there. I have two screws that go straight through the front and into two arms that loop back into...

    switching servos

    My brakes arent' the best,, I had a friend who bought a high torque servo and solved his brake problems,, I was wandering if anyone has ever switched the steering and brake servos around and got better brake performance. I have the dual red fiber brakes, and the truck is brand new,, I don't...

    Wheely bar

    I've run about 10 tanks of fuel through my Savage X, and I have the back of my body just destroyed. It does a wheely and the grass and dirt catches the tailgate of the body and just pulls the heck out of it. I was looking into a wheely bar. (It's cheaper than a new body) Anyone recomend a good...

    Whooooaa No brakes

    I've had my savage running for about 2 weeks now and love it. It is extremely powerfull, but I can't get it to stop. I've taken the spring off the brake arm and replaced it with fuel tubing. I've cleaned the brake pads off and i've tightened them up to the point that they are almost dragging and...

    Antenna tube

    I bought my new Savage X 4.6 a while back and finally yesterday got a chance to break it in. I tryed using the stock HPI antenna tube that came in the box but could not get it threaded. I had a DuBro and used it. I ran my 4 tanks of break in fuel and started getting a little more out of control...
