    Piston and Sleeve Removal

    By the way, I also noticed that there are no shims for the cylinder head, but I can't verify if it is supposed to or not. Does HPI include a exploided view of the motor. Can't find mine.

    Piston and Sleeve Removal

    OK I'm going to try tonight when I get home from work. Of course that piston has to be near the top of the stroke in order for the rod to clear the track/groove.

    Piston and Sleeve Removal

    OK guys I was going to take my piston and sleeve out of my K 4.6 but could not get the piston out. Sleeve came right out (being that it is so new) it just pulled right out of the top. Can't seem to get the piston out. I wiggled and tugged and pulled (ever so gently) I know that sounds bad...

    HPI Z164 Grease

    OK guys not the biggest deal in the world but is there any place, like an auto parts store that I can just buy a larger tube of this stuff? Hate spending like $2.50 a tube for the stuff when I can get 50 X's more for about the same price. I didn't know what the specs on the grease were...

    Diff shimming 101 Yes I read it.

    Yes thank you I read through that thread and stated shimming. I noticed that I can't seem to find the .01mm shims that I need so I'll contact distrait and see what he wants for them. I never had to shim my diffs in my old 25 before.

    Diff shimming 101 Yes I read it.

    Well I noticed that the Savage X kit has a spare parts bag and I found the shims I need to shim the case. Yes If I'm correct in saying this the shim goes on the diff case then the bearing. (bearing moved away from the diff case) hope thats right. I'm ****ed because I don't have the shims I...

    Diff oil question

    Just starting my build of my Savage X SS. Got it for Christmas and just getting around to it. Anyway, I was wondering what weight Diff Fluid should I be using? All I'm doing is bashing and don't know which weight I should go with.

    getting out of control

    I'm no expert but it sounds like you might need to adjust your linkage. I would also check that gap again in the carb. If I'm not mistaken I think you need to adjust the gap a bit so your carb doesnt close when you hit the brakes.

    New savage

    I had the same problem with my savage some time ago. Once I had that LSN adjust correctly it stoped stalling. But like they guys have said adjust in very small amounts I have learned the hard way turning my needles like an oven nob. Now I just turn like 1/16th turns until I have it just...
