    SOS hpi Savage X refuses to start !?!

    it just a case of making sure the 2 gears are lined up and the mesh is right, as i said, some people put a slither of paper between the gears and then push the whole engine in so the paper is tight between the gears then tighten the engine bolts and take the paper away, that should give the...

    that plastic wheel thing i suspect you mean the plastic or nylon spur gear, you must make sure that the engine is lined up right, so the clutch bell gear (pinion gear) on the engine meshes with that plastic wheel (spur gear) not too tightly and not too loose, some wedge a slither of paper...
