    How do you set the first shift point on a 3-speed tranny?

    ah ha! I looked at the XL manual, thanks for the reference. I was adjusting all the way in, then loosening three turns. I think I'll start from flush with 3.25 turns in as a starting point. thanks!! Leslie

    How do you set the first shift point on a 3-speed tranny?

    Hi all, I'm in the process of setting my 3 speed now that my new mill is broken in. What is a good starting point for set up. I adjusted 3rd all the way in so it would not shift. I'm not sure of a good starting point for 2nd. Any thoughts? Cheers, Leslie

    When did Sav diffs change?

    Interesting. My SavX diffs had the 4 small bevels and the 2 large. The ones I bought recently had the (apparently) old style. This might be why they were only 19.99 for the whole diff assembly. I guess you get what you pay for. The old style did not hold up very well.

    When did Sav diffs change?

    Hi all, I pulled apart a new diff that I purchased. I bought the whole diff, new for 20.00. I noticed that the new diffs are different than my original diffs. The new diffs use part number 86032a, b, and c for the internal bevel gearing. The older diffs use 87193 and 87194. The new...

    Lrp .28 v.s. drivetrain

    Hi and welcome, I just put a lrp .28 in my Savage X (4.1). Love it, I'm still tweaking the mill out but things are holding up well. I did loose a tooth on my rear pinion, but I can't blame that on the new mill. I will look to upgrade parts when I bust 'em. Cheers, Leslie (RC Chick)

    lrp .28 recommended pipe?

    thanks, I am running pretty much stock. Few upgrades as I break things, the new mill is first real upgrade. So I would need a pipe that fits in the stock setup. Will the OFNA and Dynamite 086 fit?? Cheers, Leslie

    lrp .28 recommended pipe?

    Hi all, I have put a new lrp .28 spec 3 on my savage x. I'm running it with the pipe off the stock 4.1 engine off the savage. I'm pleased with the current performance but I'm curious if there are better alternatives. Cheers, Leslie

    How do you diagnose a blown diff?

    Okay, thanks guys. It's hard to tell what is crunching, seems my brakes make quite a grind. I noticed when I walked the truck (on a leash) back down the basement the wheels locked briefly. Enough for me to go hmmm. I guess I'll have to pull the diffs an check. thanks, Leslie

    How do you diagnose a blown diff?

    Hi all, I've been away from my truck for quite a long time. Getting back into it, I have a Savage X with a new LRP .28r mill. I don't really have an issue but I'm wondering how you determine that the diff is an issue?? I'm looking for tips other than take it apart and look around :)...

    New LRP .28 Spec 3; Lovin' it

    Hi, Thanks for the input, I suspected it was just a nuance of breakin. But it's always good to check. I'm very pleased with the performance of this engine even at the early break in stages. This engine will be a beast, I will have to work on my driving skills :) Cheers, Leslie

    New LRP .28 Spec 3; Lovin' it

    Hi all, I finally got my truck (Savage X ) out today with her new powerplant. I had a ball!! I ran 5 tanks through just rolling around the yard, even 1/2 throttle was pretty impressive. I just got one tank in to start tuning and boy I can tell this pup is going to want to run. One...

    looking for a SAVX roll bar upgrade

    Hi all, I'm looking around for roll bar options for my Savage X. The roll cages are cool, but I'm not into spending ~100.00 for that. I'm running a near stock X with a LRP .28 Spec 3 mill with a pull start, the stock roll bar does not afford much room. any ideas? Cheers, Leslie

    Savage X spur gear and clutch problems

    Hi All, I stripped a couple spur gears. I could not tell if I just stripped them because of mesh or melted them. I put on a hardened vented CB (15T) and a new spur (49) tooth, I spent alot of time with the mesh. I also put on aluminum clutch shoes (OFNA). I've got 10-15 tanks with...
