    Fried it

    Looks to me like the slipper was loose and caused the spur to melt out the center, that is why i like the steel spurs, and I also lock down my slipper, you would be surprised to learn it will still slip even when locked down.... as for the 2 speed adjuster I have to ask what allen are you using...

    Steering issue for Savage x4.6

    That diagram above gives a good view of that servo saver and how to take it apart.... you can tighten up the spring coil by closing down the gap and installing it back into the housing then reinstalling it on the vehicle.....

    Steering issue for Savage x4.6

    Looks like a combination of a stock servo and a weak servo saver spring, you can get around that by installing the later steering system and a better servo, for servos I have been using powerhd servos lately and they are great... one final question is are you still using the 4 cell battery...

    Wheelies

    Should I grease dogbones?

    A bit of teflon or graphite dry lube works pretty well, some use chain lube also, I prefer graphite dry lube as it does not attract dirt to the joints.....

    Wheelies

    My Savage has the opposite problem, it rides so much on the back wheels I barely ever get to turn it... tighten the slipper nut all the way and see if that helps at all...

    Wheel clearance

    No, that is only dealing with the top of the shock, where you need clearance is at the bottom Moving the top is going to affect how soft or hard the suspension feels on compression and rebound....

    Wheel clearance

    Doesn't look like Duratrax offers a deeper offset, I know the RPM Wheels come in 1/2 inch offsets called the stablemaxx series but you will have to mount your tires onto the wheels...I am running a set of RPM Stablemaxx wheels in 17mm hex on my Savage with ProLine Mulchers mounted on them...
