To encourage you, you know the savage can take 10x that abuse you were doing, right?
You can jump it a LOT higher than that, just make sure to land on all four and you're good!
YES! With the pullstart installed, the external owb like is on your truck (I'm assuming) will easily last 5 times as long. Porbably more. If you get a really good one and clean it a lot it may last as long as the engine.
Its possible
Set the truck on a block of wood so the tires are off the ground, and raise the idle to just before the wheels start spinning. Set it so the wheels are spinning very slowly and then back it off about 1/4 turn
I'm not sure. Post a picture of the stock body that came with the truck and I'll tell you.
As for the tranny gears, I don't know, I couldn't find them either. I was just saying, you know, if you find them get em.
I've eaten second gear twice within like 5 tanks, just with the lrp 28
Well, the new bp diffs will hold up. You may want to upgrade to flux dogbones and drive cups...try and find some all steel tranny gears, because second gear may not last through one tank...lol if its plastic in there
And you will for sure need rrp spur and clutchbell, because you'll shred...
THe LRP 28 is awesome and so is the ofna force .28. Both are fantastic engines
The LRP .30 spec 2 seems to have all low end torque, its not much for speed, as found out by pin it ot win it, but man does it have torque, theres no stopping it. You will need bp diffs, and robinson racing gears to...
Actually that is perfect the way you have it. Hpi makes little brass bushings that are made specifically for this that take up that play.
don't put washers behind the collet, you'll never get the bell and spur to line up right if you do
Well thats totally possible also hop but sometimes it is the company's fault.
Stupid question, xclandon, but is your tank completely sealed? If its got a leak then it will never run right
Well ya know blowing up a mill is fun especially if you have a good excuse to. I would read up on HPI warranty and call that guy back, see what exactly he's going to do with it and what you will be charged if it is and if it isn't blown up.
