    LRP.30 or .32 for my Savage X

    SH makes a pullstart and backplate that works on the .32. I had to buy one last year without pull start and there were no Lrp parts available. I’ve heard some are available but not in the US. I may have to buy Lrp plugs out of Australia at this point.

    savage x with lrp pullstarter

    There actually may be some other options. I quit searching when I found SH would fit. I’m going to look again soon when I have time. To update that mod.....I’ve recently converted to a roto start and the SH one way bearing is not happy. Lasted about 5 tanks and rarely catches now. I...

    FLM Savage big block XL build

    Ya know I’m really not sure. Never looked at the label on the bag. The tires say “badlands #1178” on them if that helps. Bought them off a LHS that was closing. Got 50% off of those and a ton of other stuff.

    What did you do to your HPI Savage today?

    It looks pretty interesting but it would at least have to come in another color before I could pay that much for it. It would take quite a bit of work to remove all that purple anodizing. I’m curious too on the performance aspect.

    Flux Xl body help

    I second proline as far as easiest access. Although most of what will fit for you will be truck based. I was recently told that I am crazy for bashing with a stock HPI body as they are getting so hard to come by.

    FLM Savage big block XL build

    Thanks for the tip. I usually run plastic arms and knuckles for bashing. I did leave the plastic knuckles for now as those have been a good “weak link” in some of my past builds. This truck sees little bashing tho. I have another completely stock (aside from reverse) 5.9 xl that I bash with.

    Replacement glow plugs

    I am looking for a good replacement for the Lrp platinum iridium r5 plug that comes stock in a .32 spec 4. I have heard there are significant differences in r5 plugs depending on the manufacturer. I’ve been considering a medium hot plug based on application and environment but not knowing the...

    looking for roto start back plate

    That makes sense fitting a .30. Cross references to .28, .30 and .32 os motors. I went thru this on an lrp.32. Had to buy as a bump start and did a lot of research finding a roto start backplate for it as Lrp was out of business when I got the motor. I was suprised how interchangeable a...

    What's my junk worth ?

    My values come from what ive seen on eBay in the past few years. About a year ago I was shopping for a stock savage 5.9 xl and the best deal I could get on a clean non modified truck was 400. About 3 yrs ago I got 575 on an eBay auction for a highly modified 5.9 xl. I had about 1300 in it...

    looking for roto start back plate

    Cross referencing the hpi part number shows it also fits a lot of .28 engines. That link has dimensions you could compare to the hpi part. Should be pretty close

    Been a while since I posted and not much has been changed. Got a set of badlands and some new skid plates. Still less than 10 tanks ran including the 6 for break in.

    What's my junk worth ?

    If sold rtr with transmitter and all I would say you should be able to get 4-500 fairly easily maybe 6 if you found the right buyer. eBay auction, even with the fees seems to bring the best money . You have some good parts there. Last I heard FLM wasn’t producing savage parts anymore so that...

    Looking at some used XL 5.9 savages....

    Lol....never said they were good mods. That purple diff housing was hideous ?. I have a 5.9xl that’s stock with less than a gallon of fuel ran thru it. It currently has a reverse mod that I plan to remove and put on my FLM truck. I’ll ask my son if he’s ever gonna play with it again. If...
