    Pipe for a P3 picco .28?

    Are trenchers heavy big wheels? If so you could get some extra pep by putting on some lighter wheels and tires. Any reduction in weight in the drivetrain is going to make a big difference. I had to post something here because I cant imagine a savage not being able to wheelie.

    Spur Gear upgrades

    What kind of car do you have? A savage? I like the stock savage xss stuff, never had a problem even with the 5.9 engine. The xl probably comes with good hardened steel too.

    Back 2 wheels wont go.....please help.

    That is an obscene amount of grease. I suggest you take that whole entire truck apart and rebuild it. Replace any parts that are worn and grease the diffs. Also if you have stainless allen head screws you might want to keep an eye on them- if they seem weak throw them out. I have only had...

    Any one using a tiger drive starter on a 4.6?

    Big mistake. Spend the extra 5 bucks. One hpi will outlast 5 traxxas. I was replacing those traxxas owb all the time and the traxxas motor isnt even that big.

    Break in problem.Help!

    I would take the air filter off and visually check that the idle is properly set. Then return the the mixture needles to the baseline settings. Before starting make sure that the the throttle/ brake linkage assembly is all working properly. Something could be binding just a tiny bit keeping...

    Any one using a tiger drive starter on a 4.6?

    The tiger drive is goung to use a one way bearing too. The hpi one way bearing is very reliable compared to traxxas. At least in my experience. I have had to fix and replace countless traxxas owb. But have never had a problem with hpi. Hmm. Has anyone else experienced this? You would need...

    Any one using a tiger drive starter on a 4.6?

    I cant speak for everybody and it sounds like jam has had better luck than me, but ive had them on several traxxas engines and one savage 4.6. All failed. Use the hpi stock roto start units, they are pretty bulletproof.

    tamiya parts!

    Thanks for looking guys, I knew there was no place in the us to buy this stuff. I don't know why I'm really not 100 percent comfortable buying from these outside sites. I don t even know what aud is- Australian currency? I have had a handful of tamiya kits which were enjoyable to build but...

    No, not hexes, hubs. Rear hubs. The bearings get pressed into them And the spindle runs through the center. It bolts to the lower a arm and the upper turnbuckke.

    tamiya parts!

    Thanks rcnut, I did try ebay. I need the rear hub. Ebay has overpriced aluminum hubs for 48 bucks! I can get a whole kit for 100. I only bought the car for me daughter because I thought the parts would be cheap. There has to be a place to get these parts for a fair price. Lol.

    tamiya parts!

    Does anyone know where to get parts for the tamiya sand viper. It is the dt02 chassis. We made a ramp in the house and jumped it right into a cabinet. Oops. I have been searching for hours. No tower hobbies. All the parts I have found are out of stock or located outside of the country...

    After Run Oil

    Nitromethane is very hydroscopic- meaning that it absorbs water easily from the atmosphere. Therefore any unburnt fuel in the engine will absorb water and cause rust. Its very important to burn all the fuel out and add oil. Not to change the topic but some people use marvel mystery oil...

    How long have you all had your savage?

    I have had mine for about ten years... ever since I crashed into my friends savage with my t maxx. I broke just about everything in the front of the truck, he drove off like nothing ever happened. Lol
