LOST HP Savage XSS 4.6 MID RANGE NEEDLE - Need spare part urgently!

[Jeandre]

Good day fellow RC racers!

I have a (now discontinued) HPI SAVAGE X SS K4.6 Nitro Monster Truck.

The engine’s mid-range needle got lost! It cannot be bought on-line (discontinued).

Details of the K4.6 Nitro engine can be found here:

Details of the part can be found here:

Is there anyone out there with an old K4.6 nitro engine that could possibly assist me with this part? Or the complete engine? Or Carburetor?

Flebay I reckon is your best bet my savage friend!

Yep, and you're in luck; there's one available there now - part number 15282
It took me months to find one.
Check for snugness as you screw it in.
The o-rings had shrunk and needed to be replaced, otherwise it'll rattle out and you'll lose it just like your first one.

O fantastic! Do you by any chance have a link to the post where you saw this?

Not exactly sure by what you mean by "link to the post where you saw this"
If by "this" you mean the valve being available.
Go to eBay (US as opposed to UK or elsewhere if there are any) and search for the following:
hpi "15282"

If by "this" you mean something else, just what are you asking?

In the future, you can use a Hobao.30 carb. Fits perfectly in K engines
