hpi savage identification..

[brysonsdad]

i just picked up what i was told was a savage x 4.6 for $45 got it running has no transmitter or receiver..also missing battery box cover..battery holder and on off switch..when i look up parts battery box does not look like mine..mine has a single pin in front were a clip attaches..everyone i see online has what looks like a twist mech..to open box..any help would be great..

Welcome to the site brysonsdad!

The twist clip style is the "X" style battery box. So if you don't have that then you have to have the savage 25 style battery box. That also means you do not likely have a savage x 4.6. If you could post some pictures of your savage we could tell you more.

It's obviously been modified a bit. However if certain bits are stock, then you have a savage 21.

so i found out the truck haa a sportswerk.26v2 engine..now my problem is i think one way bearing is bad would this be a hpi part on the engine or did engine.come with roto start capabilities..it was working fine till my son flooded it now part spins but piston does not move.any help would be gladly appreciated.

I believe that engine came as a pull start. I've seen people say using a XTM 24.7 backplate with a HPI S-25 rotostart plate works. You can certainly order a new OWB, but first I would try cleaning it. Often you get oil build up on them and they slip.

says right in the description is for a sportwerks v2 so I have to think it is correct part.... you only get the backplate in this sale so you need to transfer over your existing parts to the new part......

If they used the XTM backplate like I said in my above post, then this should be your one way bearing:


I'm having a hard time finding one in stock though....

Those One way bearings are pretty stout, I would try cleaning it and see if that works, by your picture it does not look to be damaged any.....
