    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    The truck is cranking fine now. But it will NOT idle. I have tried everything I know to do. I will try to take off the air cleaner tomorrow to see if it is closing. I can turn the HSN and it doesnt not seem to change anything. In order for me to start the engine I have to turn up the idle...

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    Actually the o ring goes on the post that the fuel tank sits on. Goes between the post mount and the gas tank. I got the engine back in. I cranked the truck and got it up to 180 degrees then died. The entire time the wheels were spinning pretty fast so I kept it up on blocks. How do I get...

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    OK took out the engine and dried the bearing etc...the engine will now turn over out of the truck with the engine out. I have an o ring that came out of somewhere. Looking at the back of the book it is part # 6899. Do you know where that goes? Thanks

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    Rotostart still spins free. Does this mean one way bearing shot? If so is that all I need to replace? Do you know of step by step instructions anywhere I can use to replace this bearing. So far this Savage is nothing by a pain in my side. Only has 2 1/2 tanks and nothing but trouble. Thanks

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    OK tried that and still seems to be spinning free. Do you think if I let it sit it will help it any? Thanks

    New Problem with Savage X 4.6

    OK I have been having idle problems with my Savage since out of the box. I went to crank it today and got a couple cranks now the rotostart spins free when trying to turn of the engine. Its like nothing is engaging when trying to turn over motor. I hear this is a possible bearing issue? Any...

    Fail Safe?

    Does the venom micro failsafe cover both signal loss and battery loss? Thanks for the tip! CWOOLIE

    Fail Safe?

    What kind of cost are we looking at? Is it plug and play or?

    Fail Safe?

    Does everyone run a fail safe on their RC? I was thinking about getting one for my Savage X 4.6. Does anyone recommend a certain brand/model fail safe? Thanks CWOOLIE

    NEW Savage X 4.6

    Thanks for the advice....I took the truck to the hobby store near me. 3 young guys looked at the truck and did turn the LSN and HSN and Idle screw some and finally it started to idle without cutting off not wanting to take off. Like most said these issues will go away once the truck is broken...

    NEW Savage X 4.6

    HPI says that flush is default settings for the needles. Mine are all currently flush. I would rather not mess with the needles during break in if possible but the engine is running rough/choppy and not much power so I assume its rich.

    NEW Savage X 4.6

    I got back on it this am. The truck cranked up and I got 1 1/2 tanks threw it now then died again. The engine is choppy and not much power. I take that as it is to rich? If I turn the HSN to lean it out the engine will not crank. I am only turning 1/4 or 1/8 of a turn but still no crank...

    NEW Savage X 4.6

    Glow plug does get hot when I took it out and connected it to the charger. I was reading that savage is set rich by default? I see nitro dripping from the exhaust when the truck was sitting there during the half tank it was running. By chance is my engine getting to much nitro causing it to...

    NEW Savage X 4.6

    OK I couldnt wait so I tried it again. It did run for a few seconds then it died again. Now I am back to it not starting. Do you think I need to turn the idle screw any or the high speed screw any? Any other ideas? It ran ok for half a tank then would not start again. I have taken all the...

    NEW Savage X 4.6

    Yeah I tried turning the car over with glow plug out and yes some nitro came out but not much. I tried to start it again and still will not turn over. Any ideas? I did turn the high speed needle some and the idle screw some. I guess I should not have messed with those until this first tank...

    NEW Savage X 4.6

    Hello I just got my Savage X 4.6 yesterday. I am following the HPI manual and it says to run one tank with the wheels not on the ground. I got to half a tank and the engine died. Should I play with the idel screw or other high speed screw to get the engine to stay running? I think the engine...
