    Baja suspension on Savage

    You can run like a 3 in 1 machine oil in the shocks to get a buttery smooth soft and light dampening action and just cut the springs down a bit at a time with spacers if needed. A worthy mod if u take the time to tune them right. Keep modding your savages people. Have fun with them or this site...

I do need to buy the XL's long extended super HD axles, X2, two packages of XL dogbones, 2 packs of inner XL drive cups. the outer axles come with the purple alum. spacers and w/nuts, BUT...

    HPI ribbed pipe tune issues

    First of all the hpi ribbed pipe or polished pipe is not an AMAZING! pipe, never said it was, the loud sound of it does not trick me into thinking my truck is faster, it actually is, its pretty easy to see that if I twitch the throttle a little to much, the thing flips over backwards, my Rammy...

    XL Wide Axle

    that is just to upgrade to XL HD specs, but not the wide axle conversion, this is what I'm talking about, but will it fit my truck, if the axle size is the same, it should unless the cup joint has a bigger diameter as to fit the XL's bigger ball end of the dogbone?? I always thought that all the...

    little OWB, slip: Maintenance?

    as i said everything is still in excellent chape, as I have learned from past OWB experience, the bearing just started to slip, after bashin' I pulled and inspected it. Now before I put it back 2gether, I need to know the best and most common thing to use to lube the bearing. There are a few...

    little OWB, slip: Maintenance?

    What do you guys recommend for OWB maintenance on the F4.6, rotostart backplate? It just started to slip for the first time since new, about 3 gallon on it. Always stuck with premium fuel, Byron or O'Donnell. I have heard only Mobile 1 5w30 synthetic motor oil will suffice, is this true. On my...

    HPI ribbed pipe tune issues

    Awesome replies guys, HPI_Savage_RC, I sense that maybe you've been told maybe in your amature days that the HPI pipes would do wonders and did nothing but cause you problems, is that where the hostility comes from?? The ribbed pipe did give the Savy quite a power increase, and the Rammy despite...

    HPI ribbed pipe tune issues

    Hey guys, just added the ribbed pipe on my 4.6 rtr Savy. truck was originally broke in on Byrons 30%, Can not run this fuel after adding the pipe as no amount of richening will bring temps down, peaking 300deg's. Added extra .2mm(I think) head shim(smallest one anyway), didn't help, now running...

    Changed fuel brand, is this normal?

    From my experience it will not lower your temps, in theory running an engine on higher nitro content will lower your temps, but you have to richen the HSN and LSN to compensate for more nitro in turn lowering your temps, but assuming that your engine will run cooler on higher nitro isn't true...

    XL Wide Axle

    so bearings are same, but need XL drive cups all around and dogs. i thought the XL just had the super HD dogs and axles, which are like a stage 3 upgrade for the Savy X, you can upgrade to the HD or the super HD, or am I just mixing up my hop-ups here, I thought all XL fits on X stuff, like I...

    XL Wide Axle

    Anyone know if the XL 17mm wide axles are a direct bolt on to the x versions? The diameter seems to be the same, just a longer shank with a collar in between the bearing and axle pin/hex. Seems like the easiest/cheapest way to widen the X? Just thought I'd ask is anyone's tried it before I drop...

    Slipper clutch upgrade

    I took it out bashing today with some maxx tires on pavement to see if it would slip, and all is good. I kept the nut fully tightened down, I'll try again with about a 1/4 turn out and see what happens. The 3.2" maxx tires gave a little more bottom end and are good for pavement, the thing was...

    Slipper clutch upgrade

    Slipper clutch upgrade

    Single slipper, I didn't even know there was a dual disc, maybe I missed it on HPI's hop-up page for the Savy

    Slipper clutch upgrade

    I'm not sure what you guys are using, if anything at all for a slipper clutch upgrade, but I have been having troubles with stripping out my slipper pad and the littles hexes that are cutout into the spur gear. When it was new it lasted for about two gallons, it was too late before I realized...

    sway bars, where?

    Yah good point what rod should I use, I think I am going to make my own, once seeing the pics, makes it much more clearer. It is definetly the most simplest setup from all the ones mentioned. I have 3mm rod, possible welding rod, i got it from the LHS to use for pipe hangers, but is very hard to...
