Savage 5.9

[lambo]

Okay, here is my situation. I have a Savage 5.9. Have had it for 2 months. I went through all the correct break in procedures. Now my issue is this. It starts up good and idles really well. But when I give it gas it runs good but not balls out good and sometimes it wont shift into second or 3rd. I am thinking this might a high speed needle issue as in too rich. I need advice badly. I am planning on taking this to the beach tomorrow and I really want to go balls out.

If you aren't shifting, check your spur nut. It's probably loose - crank it down and back it out 1/4 turn.

i think you hit the nail on the head with tuning.

good way to tell is if your getting lot of smoke & maybe even some un-burnt fuel out the pipe.

The .30 O.S.

Yes, the .30 O.S.

 

[zoraduntov]

I think it will

 

[kvnnets]

Will a os 30 pull a savage xl ?

Yes. It will. They have enough torque.

 

[zoraduntov]

I'm going with the os30 because it is easy to tune and A very smoothe engine .

 

[zoraduntov]

Not to mention os quality

 

[redneck]

I have a O.S 30 with 5 tanks of nitro ran thru it just for break in. I may put it in one of my xl's just to see how well it performs.

 

[zoraduntov]

Would you sell it ?

 

[zoraduntov]

What's the best LRP mill for da savy?

i am running the lrp .28spec3 in mine and love it.I'm pretty much done with teh breakin so now i just have to tune it.it moves my xl pretty good right now untuned.

 

[Combuster]

i run lrps, the lrp is killer, it out performs the os. the lrp is one of the strongest stock mills u can get for the savy but once you get into modding that a whole different story.

 

[zoraduntov]

I like what I'm hearing about the 28 LRP
Can someone provide a link to that mill ?
I'm going to pull the trigger on it .

 

[zoraduntov]

Rc planet has them for 168.00
Is that a fair price ?

 

[Combuster]

thats a good price

I got mine from my LHS for $165 with no extra shipping cost, but I think you would normally pay more than that from a retail store. He gives me good deals cause he knows I'm in there all the time LOL. Anything in that price range is good though!

thats good,my lhs had a smaller lrp for almost 300 bux but there fuel is cheap lol

 

[zoraduntov]

I'm going to get it next week

 

[zoraduntov]

Is the 28 better than the 30 ?

 

[zoraduntov]

Sorry for all of the questions but are the LRP's easy to tune ?

 

[notched306]

not sure,i would think that teh 30 would have just alittle more torque than the 28 and teh 28 will have more top end/rpm.ive seen alot of people go from the stock 5.9 to teh 4.6(.28) when they but new motors.me,i would stick with the .28
