Broke Savy

[TripleSix]

I recently got my first Savy with a axial .28 spec 1s. Was told the motor only had 1/2 gallon on it. Once I got it and checked it out , it hardly had any compression at all. Since I'm not working right now, wife won't let me get a new motor, so I just sent the piston and sleeve for a pinch. Well got it back and got about 2 1/2 tanks through it and the rear driveshaft from the trans to the rear diff snapped in half. Also noticed that the header seems to be leaking where it attaches to the block. The gasket looks ok, but when I put the header on it seems kinda loose around the gasket. Doesn't seem right. Do I need to stack gaskets to make it work? I guess it'll just go back on the shelf for now till I get back to work.

I will take a look through my box o crap and see I may have a drive shaft for you.

Thanks guys. But I really don't think the wifes going to approve me any more cash. She really can't stand me spending $ on my toys since I'm not working. Doesn't help that evrytime I run one something breaks! Thought this hobby would be cheaper than the quad. I might've been wrong.

 

[Pope]

Don't think I'm in the wrong hobby. Just kinda hard to keep dumping money into the toys when I'm not working, but still have bills to pay. Anyway, I got the pinch from RayAracing. $26. Says you should be able to get 3 or 4 more gallons out of it.

Now as far as the exhaust gasket it looks to be in good shape. It's just that when I put the header on it is not snug, like I think it should be. Now what I'm wondering is do I have to stack 2 gaskets or something?

Nope should be one gasket and it will fit SNUG like you gotta give it alittle push to go over the coupler. what coupler you using?

 

[Pope]

Gasket always has a bit of play in it. You should be fine so long as no exsust is leaking out around it.

Droped the bone in the mail. It is in a plain white envolope so don't mistake it for a bill.

Yup, just like that. When I put the header on it is far from snug and the exaust is leaking badly. Gasket looks to be in ok shape. Just don't understand why its such a loose fit?

Probably wouldn't hurt. Thinking I have to stack the gaskets. When I had the JP3 on the picco.26 on the revo, I had to stack the gaskets to make it work.

 

[Pope]

Yep HPI header is crap and doesn't fit very well. My lhs had some thicker gaskets forget the brand but it snugged it up.
