    Antenna tube

    I had a hard time getting the antenna wire to run down the tube so i got a needle and some thread, dropped the threaded needle down one end of the tube, wrapped the thread around the antenna cord and yanked it through. Worked pretty well actually.

    Finally broke in!

    When I did my break in the pinch was really tight at TDC i had to get myself a heat gun, warm the engine up to about 180 then it was easy to turn over (and i have a pull start!) Also make sure to rotate the piston to BDC whenever the motor shuts off during the break in, otherwise the piston...

    Sticking piston

    Ya thatnks CrawlinClodKiller, you were right. My clutch shoes were really tight so i to the clutch apart and made sure everything was installed correctly. The clutch bell is looser now. But should it be loose enough to spin freely (a couple of revolutions) or just loose enough to turn by hand?

    Cheap Waterproofing Alternative

    True if water gets in it would just sit there and could be bad, same thing for the saran wrap method i guess. I think someone really needs to make a watrproof radio box with an o-ring for the savage. MotoPsycho do you open your servos and put the gel inside or just on the connector ends?

    Cheap Waterproofing Alternative

    Ive been researching how to waterproof my savage since we have quite a bit of snow up here in Canada. I didnt really like the saran wrap method, and i didnt want to go to the hardware store and mess around with that liquid plastic stuff. I just wanted a cheap easy solution that would maintain...

    Sticking piston

    Well i had some mixed results today. I managed to heat up the engine nice an warm with the heat gun and fired up the engine. While its on the box the wheels spin quite a bit, I'm guessing the factory idle is set quite high? Strangely, have to give it a tiny bit of gas otherwise the engine cuts...

    Sticking piston

    so ive had the motor by a heater for a little while, its at 130F, and I can actually turn it over by hand now with the flywheel. I think you might be right Jester, so I'm gonna grab a heat gun and try to fire her up tom. Thanks for the help!

    Sticking piston

    hmmmm, ive put a good amount of AR oil in the engine to let it soak for a bit. I'm prety sure the bolt is fully tightened. I just don't understand why the engine is so tight that i cant even pull the pull start. I even took off the pull start to make sure it works properly.
