My eBay purchase!

[Iceash]

Hi everyone,

Just received my SS part assembled.


Anyone know what this spring lever is for by the fuel tank? On the inside of the chassis it has a flat spade with 2 slots cut into it.

As for the rest of it I've pretty much sus'd. Needs a new bell gear all teeth stripped and the slipper clutch needs rebuilding. Everything else seems good.

Tips and suggestions all welcome as very new to this eeeek!

looks like the old school brake set up

 

[J.LO's SAVAGE X]

well now that I look at it again, I'm not quite sure what it is for

 

[Iceash]

Yea that's what I was wondering, or engine kill switch? I believe she's an SS with the K4.6 motor. Could be very wrong though.

That is HPI's engine stop, it works pretty good also....

First off welcome to the forum. And second if you send us little better pics of the engine we can better let you know what engine you have. Dose it have the steering and throttle servo? Also great find!

Oh, I took it off at the mo. Can fit back though, just needed to simplify before tweaking.

More info and better pics later. Nearly finished reassembling her. Then to do a shake down, then look at mods n upgrades

 

[Iceash]

So here she is, fitted a new pull start, gaskets for the exhaust and just need to replace the front and rear bumpers.

Started tuning at the weekend, did struggle with the tuning. I think I was getting it there as the front wheels have started to left off the ground by an inch or so them blam! Straight into a metal pole breaking one of the shocks

One thing I did notice wasn't changing gear. Is that down to the tuning of the engine or the transmission not setup correctly?

When will HPI Sort out parts supply's?

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

Looking good any pics under the lid?

 

[Iceash]

Here's some, need to take some better one's once up n running.

Could be both. I would reset both the transmission and engine back to factory specs. Then tune the engine for power, then go after the shifting in the transmission.

 

[Iceash]

Yea was wondering that.

How do I reset the transmission?

Assuming you still have a 2 speed transmission:

Lovely job, I believe it's a two speed?!?, sure I'll figure it out.

 

[Iceash]

Ah nuts. My lil knock last weekend bent my front alu shock tower. What's best to replace it with?

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

Plastic

 

[Iceash]

O

• Plastic

OEM Or any hop ups?

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

OEM i don't think theres any hop up besides aluminum but as you found out the had way it sucks. With plastics it can at least take a hit flex alittle and be fine.
