    Parts availability??

    It would be great if this is correct, if someone could put a list together of engines that share parts. I am in need of a 5.9 piston/sleeve and rod.

    Flat battery run away truck !

    The newest XL's have a failsafe in the 2.4 system, but you must test it. If you have the servo reversed, your failsafe may put it to full throttle. You may need to reset.

    HPI Savage XL Engine replacement with LRP ZR .32

    Break in will not affect the throttle movement. Check that the throttle is being pulled in a straight line and not binding anywhere. Pull off the throttle rod and check movement of the barrel is smooth. Make sure that you have a throttle return spring, this pulls the barrel closed, and is a...

    Replacing clutch

    OFNA used to have a flywheel retaining nut with an attached shaft. You could cut the existing shaft at the end of the threads, then use the new nut/shaft combo. Never tried it myself.

    LID REPAIR

    Use the goo and tape to reinforce the body before it fails also. Works great as a preventative measure as well as a fix.

    HPI Savage X 4.6 unstoppably spinning wheels at IDLE

    It can only rev high if it can get the air to do so. Make sure idle gap is about 1mm and that the slid always goes back to the idle stop. If you are reving high at the 1 mm idle gap, you are most likely sucking air from somewhere else.

    Lrp .32 spec 2

    The top of the sleeve is where the pinch is. The pinch creates the compression for the engine. This is where the break in is important. This is also why it helps to pre-warm the engine before starting a new engine.

    hpi savage 4.6x with lrp ZR .32 engine

    Skyline, I think you are naming things incorrectly. The large gear on top is the spur gear, this is the one you tighten the nut to compress the spring.(the manual Says to then back off, most here say not to) The small gear meshed to the spur is the pinion gear(drive gear), it is attached to the...

    hpi savage 4.6x with lrp ZR .32 engine

    Skyline, I have just read through this whole thread. Although Jam and others have been extremely helpful, not having the truck sitting in front of them makes this process extremely difficult. Unfortunately, this purchase is most likely going to taint what is a very fun and enjoyable hobby. In...

    Lrp .32 spec 2

    Skyline, are you sure you are getting fuel into the engine? Prime it well by blowing into the air line from the exhaust pipe. You should at least get a fire out of it. Have you tested the glow plug?
