    LST Shocks

    Does anyone know if or how you can get the LST shocks to fit on the RPM a-arms for the Savage X 4.6? If so where can I get the adapter plate for the a-arms? Is there anything that you need to do on the shock tower or do they just bolt on?

    3 speed question

    I've looked through some old posts but still can't quite find what I need. I have an X 4.6 RTR and am comtemplating upgrading to the 3 speed. Is the 3 speed really worth it? Now if it is worth it should I buy the parts or just buy the assembled tranny? Thanks for your help.

    Tranny Question

    If the tranny from a 4.6 X RTR is completely disconnected from everything and sitting on the workbench should the tranny turn smooth or is it kind of rough. Mine turns real nice one way and not so nice the other way. Is this normal? Thanks for your help.

    Spur Gear Question

    I have an X 4.6 RTR and I'm just replacing my first spur gear. The one I took off looks way different than the one my LHS gave me. The old one has a sort of tapered cone on the one side (HPI P/N 76937, 47T) and the new one is flat on both sides (HPI P/N 77094, 49T) before I get too carried away...

    I tried some searching but to no avail. Does anyone have any tips on keeping the body clips from disappearing off the truck or from being bent beyond recognition?
