    Help wont crank

    Ok thats cool, did you try cleaning the 1 way in some motor spray or denatured alcohol, I clean mine with DNA and use a toothpick tool to put some red grease down into the rollers inside, i go all the way around the inside of the bearing , it helps it to not absorb the oil from the engine which...

    Issue with reverse linkage and lever

    I always hated reverse in Nitro vehicles, they always act up and need fiddling with.... my solution to no reverse is to not get into a situation where it is necessary and I bring my kids along so they can get me out of a jam :)

    Robinson racing 44t spur install

    I am using the 48/16 RR combo on mine with a stock HPI slipper setup, I locked it down (spring fully compressed) when I build it a long time ago and it has not given one problem to me and it still slips and keeps my gears safe even with it locked down tight....

    Savage X 4.6 RTR break-in

    I have been running my slipper locked down tight and I have not broken anything in my transmission, it will still slip when there is a heavy load such as when it flips and tumbles..... running it loose is going to cause other problems.....

    Anyone have success using Robinson Racing Hardened Clutch Bells?

    Haven't seen this before, I have a 16 and a 17 RRP bells and the bearings i have fit them both pretty good and snug...... have you contacted them about this, it could be just a bad one that got thru... I know they will want to see pics so include those with your e mail.....

    What did you do to your HPI Savage today?

    Only wrong thing I see is you are using that heavy brass bushing at the end of the bell, that alone will wear the bearings quickly, I was told by Mickey a long time ago to substitute a piece of fuel tube in place of it, so I did as he said and it actually works very well.....
