Hpi savage XL 5.9 GTXL idle screw

[Kashifkhan19]

Hi all,

I'm a complete noob and have a savage xl 5.9 GTXL. During the first 2 tanks of engine breaking in the cars wheels were turning alot on the stand. So I turned the idle screw counter clockwise and this helped the idle.
I then ran the car in a field as per the manual on half throttle. Suddenly the car stopped working and I noticed the glow plug had gone bad. I also lost the idle screw at this point but noticed the next time I started the car.
All I remember is that the idle screw had a hex cap top but I cannot seem to find the replacement anywhere.

Sorry for the essay but does anyone know the correct idle screw part for my nitro? I can't find it anywhere in the parts list or online. The ones I have found online don't look like the Hex top I had in mine.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated

Thanks
Kash

Unable to help but maybe worth dropping HPI an email & asking for old part number, could even look for second hand carb on flebay perhaps?

I would definitely reach out to hpi on that because it’s still under warranty so they should be able to help with it

Hallo ihr alle

Ich bin ein absoluter Neuling und habe einen Savage XL 5.9 GTXL. Während der ersten 2 Panzer mit Motoreinbrüchen drehten sich die Räder des Autos stark auf dem Ständer. Also drehte ich die Leerlaufschraube gegen den Uhrzeigersinn und das half dem Leerlauf.
Dann fuhr ich das Auto auf einem Feld gemäß dem Schaltgetriebe mit Halbgas. Plötzlich funktionierte das Auto nicht mehr und ich bemerkte, dass die Glühkerze defekt war. Ich verlor an dieser Stelle auch die Leerlaufschraube, bemerkte es aber beim nächsten Starten des Autos.
Alles, woran ich mich erinnere, ist, dass die Leerlaufschraube eine Sechskantkappe hatte, aber ich kann anscheinend nirgendwo einen Ersatz finden.

Entschuldigung für den Aufsatz, aber kennt jemand das richtige Leerlaufschraubenteil für mein Nitro? Ich kann es nirgendwo in der Teileliste oder online finden. Diejenigen, die ich online gefunden habe, sehen nicht aus wie das Hex-Top, das ich in meinem hatte.

Jede Hilfe in diesem Zusammenhang wird sehr geschätzt

Danke
Kash

Thanks guys I've managed to figure it out! Due to me being a complete novice I realised it wasn't the idle screw I lost but the carb pin! I've sourced a replacement and all good now.

New issue I'm having is that the wheels turn alot on start up, I need to check my brake settings but I also need to check the clutch springs too. Learning every day!

When you say wheels turn a lot on start up is that with truck off the ground or sat on ground, either way sounds like idle is to high & needs turning down?

Or It could be the throttle trim is set too high on the controller when I got mine it was set all the way up

Fair point also! 👍🏻

So when u start the car, whether it's off the ground or on the ground the wheels turn. They don't turn ferociously but the car does want to run away if on the ground.

I would check the throttle trim on the controller mine was the same way and it was set all the way up when I got it I just turned it back to a little over 1/2 way it’s the th knob of the arrow is all the was to the right try setting it back to around 1-2 o’clock position see if that helps
