    Looking at some used XL 5.9 savages....

    There’s a member here named Scooter that you might ask about one. I wasn’t looking to buy when I got I touch with him but it might be worth asking. He has, by far, the largest collection of savages I’ve ever seen.

    Looking at some used XL 5.9 savages....

    Both were upgrade parts. I’m not aware of any models came with the high speed gearing.

    Looking at some used XL 5.9 savages....

    As for the high speed gearing...hpi offered a high speed idler gear for both the 3 speed and single speed flux Bruce jenners

    Looking at some used XL 5.9 savages....

    I recently did the same thing. Had an itch to build another nitro and chose the savage xl platform. Had several in the past, including a flux I was able to push to 79mph, and really enjoyed them. Oem hpi parts will be available again soon. I believe they already are in the uk or maybe...

    Post your tire and rim setup pics

    Cheap china setup. Looks cool but worthless in the performance dept.

    Lrp spec .32

    That’s a bum. To follow up on the one I’m using.....works great. I’ve ran nearly a gallon thru it with no trouble at all. Good luck finding what you need. I was told in an email from Lrp that the roto start and a lot of other parts should be available again by the end of August.

    Bent engine mount

    “Clutch bell sit very slightly downwards” lends itself to my theory that something got between the clutch and spur causing all that damage. I would definitely replace the motor plate when replacing the engine mount.

    3 speed transmission blown :( help please

    This is purely a guess but if that bent engine mount happened at the same time as the transmission damage then it is entirely possible that something got between the clutch bell and spurgear causing the damage to both. At high speeds it doesn’t take much to upset that trans. I would...

    Hpi back in trouble...

    It would be nice if parts were readily available again like they were 10-15 yrs ago. I just finished a savage build and shelved it because I don’t wanna break it without parts available. Hopefully The aftermarket hpi stuff will come back too. Pretty sure I got one of the last full FLM...

    Xl 5.9

    That is what mine was doing. Luckily the second gear clutch is adjustable without opening trans. I’d tighten down a little more so you can get more out of 1st gear. Helped mine a lot.

    Losi 1/18 crawler parts.

    I’m hunting a brushed motor for a losi 1/18 comp crawler. Or even a whole truck if anyone has one they might wanna part with. I’m rebuilding mine that got me to a second place finish in the comp crawling state finals a few years back.

    Xl 5.9

    It should be easy to hear if adjusted right. I bought a 5.9 xl off eBay recently for cheap because they couldn’t get it to shift into 3rd. Upon further investigation it was actually grabbing 2nd right away, and the shift the previous owner was hearing was the 2/3 shift. All because the second...

    2019/05/10 Savage X Tuning the LRP30S2...

    My newly broken in .32x runs great on 20% with the stock Lrp plug. In fact it’s the original plug that came nib. I’ve run a gallon thru it (traxxas fuel) so far and literally starts first pull every time and only stalls if I get inpatient on warm up. I’m impressed with it all around so far.

    savage x with lrp pullstarter

    Yes the pull start is a direct fit. The backplate is slightly smaller in diameter as shown in my build thread but after a gallon of fuel it’s working great. As long as a little gasket maker is used to seal everything up nicely. ??

    Engine advice

    I recently finished a 5.9 conversion to Lrp.32x and I love it. Runs great and plenty of power. I’ve heard Lrp is back in business and have seen parts available on their website, as recent as today. Nitro is slowing some tho so if you want one get it now while there’s still support for em.

    savage x with lrp pullstarter

    Motor/engine plate did not have to be changed.

    savage x with lrp pullstarter

    Thanks and yes backplate had to be changed also. This is what all I bought. The thrust shaft was ordered by mistake and not needed
