    Just put a new K5.9 in my Savage X...

    Hey guys. I haven't been on here in a while. I just put a K5.9 in my Savage X and was wondering what you suggest for breaking it in. If I remember correctly I think I broke in the 4.6 doing a heat cycle and that seemed to work great. However I don't remember the exact procedures for that...

    Installing HPI tuned pipe purple

    I just realized that is the same link you posted. I have that exact line on my Savage and it works fine. I have a hard time keeping the front wheels on the ground but that has nothing to do with the fuel line. Good luck!

    Installing HPI tuned pipe purple

    Swat...I used Dubro Nitro line for my Savage and it works just fine. I'm not sure of inner diameter but it's good line. Here is the link: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFRR1

    Installing HPI tuned pipe purple

    Swat...I put the same pipe and coupler on my Savage. Runs and sounds great...just takes a little elbow grease to get the header and the pipe seated in the coupler but they don't touch. Glad it worked out for you.

    3 speed tranny

    Byron...I've looked everywhere and can not find a part# for the XL 3 speed, but it is definitely different than the X.

    Spur Gear and Slipper Clutch Problem

    I'm hoping they do. They seem to deal more with Traxxas than HPI.

    Spur Gear and Slipper Clutch Problem

    Thanks for the input Allan...I was going to stick with plastic. Like you said, much cheaper. So you say to tighten the nut all the way down? I know it wasn't like that out of the box. I will try it. Hoping the lhs has these parts as I do not feel like waiting for them from Tower. Thanks again.

    Spur Gear and Slipper Clutch Problem

    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions...I recently put a 3 speed trans in my Savage X. When I took the spur gear off, the slipper clutch pad was cracked slightly. I put everything back together with the old slipper clutch and adjusted as per instructions. It ran for a bit but than...

    3 speed tranny

    frddyj, does your existing case already have the removable top? If so, why not just buy the kit and build it yourself? If you like wrenching like I do, you'll enjoy it. I just upgraded mine and it took only about 30 minutes to do and was very easy to do. I used to rebuild transmissions in...

    Difference between Old and New F4.6

    Thankfully I don't think I got one of the bad batch F motors. I have already 1 gallon through my Savage and this thing is STRONG! I can hardly keep the front wheels on the ground. The scary thing is that I just built and installed a 3 speed trans and have yet to try it out. I've been told I...

    Difference between Old and New F4.6

    A few differences that I noticed between the K4.6 and the F4.6 are that the cooling heads are different...the F is perfectly round and the K is slotted. I also noticed a color difference in the blocks as well. Not sure if there are any internal differences.

    Should I convert to a pull start?

    Thanks Larsen, I'll keep that in mind. Should I get the HPI pull start? I have to say that the Savage is an awesome truck. I have not had to touch any settings other than making the trans shift a bit earlier since break-in. This thing runs like a raped ape.

    Should I convert to a pull start?

    Yeah, my bro-in-law has a Revo and I like his starting system. I've seen videos with pull starts and they seem to start after a couple of pulls.

    Should I convert to a pull start?

    Hey guys, I'm looking for some feedback on whether or not I should dump the roto-start and convert my Savage X 4.6 to a pull start. Any positives/negatives, etc. Give me som pros and cons. Thanks in advance for the help.
