    What's your favorite Savage mod?

    I would have to say putting on Maximizer 1/2 offset beadlocks and Losi Zombie's made the most dramatic improvement of all the mods I've done. The stock tires are garbage. They folded in half on turns, ballooned like crazy and spun on every surface I ran on.

    lrp break in

    135 sounds about right. I couldn't get my lrp over 155 during the first few tanks, once you start tuning it though watch out:jamout:

    3 spur gears in 2 days

    I don't think the gear is usable anymore if you look at the pic you can see that the inside of the gear is worn down, so the spot that the pad is supposed to go is gone. There is supposed to be a raised section in the center that looks sort of like a maltese cross, the pad is shaped like one...

    3 spur gears in 2 days

    Thanks for the advice. So you are saying I should tighten it all the way? Unfortuately the spur gear and pad only had about 8-9 tanks of fuel on it. I put it on Saturday! I noticed after about 6.5 I had a decrease in power and thought maybe it was in my tune, so I played with the needles a...

    3 spur gears in 2 days

    new problem Well I got a new problem now. Everything was going great and then my truck wouldn't go into second gear, then it wouldn't do wheelies and finally it wouldn't move! I destroyed the pad on the spur gear. I had the spur 1/4 turn out from fully tight. Is there any way to avoid...

    3 spur gears in 2 days

    Update! Well I went bashing this morning and ran 7 tanks of gas on one spur gear:jamout: And it's still good. What happened was 2 of the screws that hold the motor to the motor mount, had backed out a tiny bit. I think it was because I used blue locktite on them, so I took all 4 out put...

    3 spur gears in 2 days

    Thanks again for all the help guys. I'm going to go over the truck and make sure it's all nice and tight tonight. Then when I get my new spur tommorow I'll give it another go and give you guys an update.

    3 spur gears in 2 days

    My slipper is fine, it is 1/4 turn out from tight. They are stripping on straight runs, unfortunately my truck hasn't seen the ramp since I swapped motors. I have not checked the tranny screws, I will do so tonight though, thats a very good idea! The only other explanation I could come up...

    3 spur gears in 2 days

    The last one I stripped I actually tightened it up the mesh a bit more and after about 1.5 tanks of just ripping around in a grass field I ended up stripping it almost all the way down. Unfortunately I ran out of spares. I'm going to go to my lhs tommorow to pick one up, they have a 49t in...

    3 spur gears in 2 days

    Like the title says I have managed to destroy 3 stock spurs in 2 days. I put 3 gallons on my original spur gear with my f4.6, and then I dedided to put in an Lrp z.28 spec III with a hpi polished pipe, nova clutch shoes and mugen .9 springs. Well the first 6 breakin tanks went great, then I...

    LRP rotostart backplate help?

    Thanks alot guys! I will put it where it belongs. If it were hex shaped I would have been able to figure it out:duh: On a side note this motor is a monster even at 1/2 throttle running super rich!! And much easier to break in compared to my f4.6. Thanks, Paintfumes

    LRP rotostart backplate help?

    I just installed a LRP Z28r spec 3 and the rotostart backplate. My question is about the spacer that came with the back plate. My backplate came with no instructions so I installed the plate without the plastic spacer and it seems to work ok. Will this cause any problems? And if so where...

    startin probs

    Got it running:coolkid01: I put in my new owb, new os8 glow plug and some trinity monster horsepower 20% and she fired right up! I also threw in a 1500mah hump pack and power switch with charging port. I let it idle through 1 tank of gas(only stalled once) and will take it outside...

    a-arms

    I'm gonna go ahead and put a vote in for the RPM's. I don't have any on my Savy YET but I do have them on both my Tmaxx and my nitro sport and they seem to be indestructable. The only drawback I found with them is you may have to sand alittle bit of material off the ends of them where they...

    startin probs

    I've been having the same problem with my new savy. I didn't even get through the 2tanks idling with the wheels off the ground before my owb went out on me. The only time it seemed to run somewhat decent was when I took it outside and tried some figure 8's. Any suggestions guys...
