    Savage X4.6 has a mind of its own

    My charger is only 1amp or 2amp and I always charge at 1amp. I just jimmy rigged a light bulb so I’ll put my old battery on it and drain and charge it a few time and we’ll see if that helps. I hope I don’t have to go LiPo because then I would have to get a new battery and charger. I would...

    Savage X4.6 has a mind of its own

    The original servo that I was running for the throttle was the steering service that came with my truck, SF-20W. I replaced my steering servo with a HiTec HS-7955TG and moved the SF20W to the throttle. A week ago the SF20W stopped responding so I purchased a Annimos 25kg digital servo off...

    Savage X4.6 has a mind of its own

    So I got a new hump pack but I’m still having problems. My throttle servo also stopped working so I got a new one and installed it yesterday but after running about a half a tank it started glitching again. Sometimes it would be unresponsive and sometimes it would throttle on its own. The...

    Savage X4.6 has a mind of its own

    I want to add that I’ve been running the truck for the last month with no problems until today. I’ve probably charged my pack 2-3 times in the last month.

    Savage X4.6 has a mind of its own

    So I finally got some fuel in the mail today so I fired up my Savage X4.6 to do some bashing and the thing had a mind of it’s own. I started to do some circles in the yard to warm her up and it took off and I had no control of it. I just charged my hump pack but when I shut it down to inspect...

    Can’t get savage x 4.6 started

    I use a Wagner heat gun from Home Depot. There pretty cheap but don’t overheat it. It’s good to have a temp gun also so you know how hot it’s getting. I like to get it in the high 100’s and it will usually fire right up

    Can’t get savage x 4.6 started

    Also it’s not good that your already stripping spur gears with only 4 tanks through the engine. At 4 tanks you should only have just started doing half throttle circles.

    Can’t get savage x 4.6 started

    Are you priming your fuel line by plugging the exhaust and cranking it over until you see the fuel in the line reach the carb? Have you tried giving it a little gas while you’re cranking it over? Have you tried warming your engine with a heat gun or a head warmer before starting? These are the...

    Stainless Steel Brakes Problem

    Yea I replaced the whole thing. You have too, the disks are completely different. I put it together just as the diagram showed. It was pretty simple and self explanatory but when it went together it was just tight, it wasnt locked up or anything it just rubbed and wasn’t free. I tried to remove...

    Upgrades for X4.6

    Yea I noticed that about the tires. I’m going to look for those wheels and try to find some tires with a shorter sidewall. Does adding another shock to each corner without a spring help with dampening at all or is it a waste of money?

    Upgrades for X4.6

    Yea I know it’s not a buggy but I was hoping there was something that would help a little. I took one of the plastic shims off the shocks above the springs and that helped a little bit it seems the springs are too short and they come off the plastic piece at the bottom of the shock. Maybe I can...

    Upgrades for X4.6

    The servo horn I got off Amazon. Apex I believe. And the bearings I had in stock for fishing reels, I own a fishing reel repair business and I stock about 100 different size bearings so I just measured the bushing and matched the size with a bearing I had.

    Stainless Steel Brakes Problem

    No pic I already converted it to a single disc but I put it together just like the diagram showed. The two outer calipers have the sticky pads on them but that middle caliper is bare metal and I think that’s where the sound was coming from.

    Stainless Steel Brakes Problem

    Also when I put the stainless ones on it was to tight, even with the break lever all the way loosened it would drag and make a nasty metal to metal sound.

    Stainless Steel Brakes Problem

    I’m using the old steering servo that it came with. Mine was going end over end with the red disks but I broke one so I thought the stainless might be a little tougher. I order a couple of sets of the red ones and once they get here I’m going to put it back to stock.

    Stainless Steel Brakes Problem

    My gear set is 17/47. I ended up removing the outside disc and replacing it with a couple of washers to fill the gap. It fixed it but it isn’t stopping the truck as well as I want. I’m either going to add another washer on each side or go back to the red brakes.
