I have an HPI savage with a k4.6, recently the midrange needle has fallen out and is gone for good. I have looked far and wide for a replacement when thought I was in luck by finding one in Australia. Turns out their stock was off and they didn't have one either.
My question is what are my options now? I have found that the F4.9 carb will not fit my K4.9(according to this forum). Is my only option to either luckily find one used or get rid of this hardly broken in engine all together? Will HPI ever start making these parts again? I have emailed HPI and called their distributor in California, with no information gained from them.
Is the F4.9 worth purchasing so I can run? Or is HPI no longer the route to go?
Any advice is appreciated.
