    extended chassis questions

    I've put my truck away for the winter and am getting ready to get it back out again. I had trouble last year of it flipping over in corners and flipping over backwards. I've widened it out with wider wheels and tires, and am wanting to extend it. Since I've been away from it for about 5 months...

    2 Spur gears

    My friend has a new Savage x 4.6. I hate to say it but he has had alot of trouble with his. I haven't had much trouble but my own fault. His first time out he broke a pinion gear, melted the slipper clutch into the spur gear. Next day he tore all the teeth off of the spur gear. We changed all...

    Wheely bar

    I've run about 10 tanks of fuel through my Savage X, and I have the back of my body just destroyed. It does a wheely and the grass and dirt catches the tailgate of the body and just pulls the heck out of it. I was looking into a wheely bar. (It's cheaper than a new body) Anyone recomend a good...

    Whooooaa No brakes

    I've had my savage running for about 2 weeks now and love it. It is extremely powerfull, but I can't get it to stop. I've taken the spring off the brake arm and replaced it with fuel tubing. I've cleaned the brake pads off and i've tightened them up to the point that they are almost dragging and...

    Antenna tube

    I bought my new Savage X 4.6 a while back and finally yesterday got a chance to break it in. I tryed using the stock HPI antenna tube that came in the box but could not get it threaded.
