    IRC Vulcan

    Does anybody else on here have one of these. I bought one about 2 weeks ago, and it's pretty cool, but not fast enough. I ordered the 2 speed transmission, an adam drake .095 engine with tuned pipe header and engine mount. I hope it goes better, but it's still fun. it out ran a buddies savage...

    How do yall do wheelies?

    you might be mistaken. the lrp engine is a 6+1 port engine just like the 457 pro, and it revs just as high too(33,000rpm), so why is it more powerful and much faster? looks like the same engine to me, just the 457 pro is cheaper.

    How do yall do wheelies?

    I just got a new motor for my savage on the weekend. xtm 457 PRO 6 port. 3.8hp, and man, the savage can't keep the front wheels on the ground. during the part throttle driving during break-in, I couldn't keep the front wheels on the ground. great engine so far, but maybe a little over board...

    HELP! HPI K4.6 not reaching normal temp(always below 185)

    I use traxxas top fuel(20%), and mc59/s in my savage with the k4.6, and it has awesome power, runs pretty cool(235 f). I have even let it idle for extended periods of time(10min+), and it never stalled, I monitored the temp, and it never went over 240 f. my old nitro star s25 was a pain from...

    wasp help !!!!!

    sounds like the low speed setting on the carb is way too lean. when my truck was doing the same thing, I just reset the carb to the factory settings, and all was better. I just had to tweak it a little bit, and now the truck is just amazing now. now I have the k4.6 engine, and not the wasp...

    f*****g carb

    It's actually a flaw in the carb body. I actually took mine apart, to find the carb was actually broken at the bottom. hpi installed a new carb on all of them I have seen break that got sent in for warranty. I just put a carb off of another engine on, and ran it until it died.

    How do yall do wheelies?

    my savage 25 stock wouldn't wheelie if it's life depended on it, even with the tuned pipe, air filter, and a 3 speed. as soon as I installed my k4.6, the truck transformed into a wheelie king. I need the wheelie bar now, and I'm running a 16t CB, and a 48t spur. I have only seen 2 savages...

    SS 4.6 breakin question

    I just idled my engine up with the radio, and left it against the wall to run. once it was empty, then I continued the break in according to the instructions, then I tuned for performance. But yeah, I have seen too many trucks take off when the radio was off, so mine is always on when it is...

    Diff gears

    I have only gone through one rear diff as of now in my savage 25. the pinion bearing came apart, causing the teeth to strip, but new gear, and a new bearing, and it's good as new. Who knows why you keep going through gears, are you landing jumps at full throttle? thats was the way I stripped...
