    SavageX 4.6 super gear(spur gear)

    spurs Hey chronic ( nice name too ) The easiest way to mesh your gears is to take a piece of notebook paper and cut a 1 inch by 6 inch strip and fold long ways in half ( so it is 1/2 inch by 6 ) Feed it into your gears and take a screwdriver and push the engine block as much as possible...

    Which is more powerful the legend K4.6 or the or the rookie F4.6

    It looks as though you have your answer, but I want to complicate things by telling you to buy the Axial .28 instead. They are both made by the same manufacturer and the Axial is about $70 cheaper. I just purchased and broke in the 1 spec engine and I absolutely love it. Good top end and you can...

    A Myth??

    So i get this new Axial .28 right ? There is so much bottom end power, but whe I start to get to the 2nd gear shift point it boggs down. When i lean it out it performs great and shifts, but gets up to 300 degrees. I hate tuning by temp b/c I spend more time tuning than driving. Do I: A)...

    More Torque Bad Diff ????????

    I knew I could count count on you Crash ! I am actually really good at the spur /clutch meshing and I can not figure out why people have problems with it, but I always ALWAYS keep an extra spur around. Do you have a link to the diffs you speak so highly of ? P.S spent about $270 at leisure...

    More Torque Bad Diff ????????

    As posted in a previous thread. I finished the breakin on my new Axial.28 and it has so much more power than my HPI .25 and I think that is where the problem is. It was not much of a problem during breaking b/c of the low RPMs, but under full throttlye (5th tank) You can hear a loud...

    New Axial .28

    Hey guys I just got an Axial .28 and completed the break in cycle. I totally understand how to tune the HPI engines, but I need some info on the "mid range" needle on the axials. I am slowly starting to lean it out and wanted to know if I should adjust the mid range needle. Thanks

    Engine apart !!!!

    Thanks for the feedback. I am torn between the Hpi 4.6 and the axial .28. From what I understand they are pretty similar. I might be using the engine exchange program for the 4.6. If there is a definate reason I should go with the axial let me know....Also I am currently running a 15 t clutch...
