SOLVED Hpi Savage A few questions

[Coldvod]

I've purchased a savage. It's a lot of fun but my engine will shut off once I put the body on. I figured it was the fact that i wasn't getting any air to my filter but the body is cut like the stock on (The bed having a hole for the bed ). Also I was driving My savage and flipped it, my air filter fell of, I flipped it over and shut it off, there was a piece of dirt on the rim of my carb. Should I be worried about the potential of having dirt in my engine and on top of that I crashed int my car and my air filter flew off again I'm worried that dirt from my bumper fell into my carb. and after those two events it ran at a high rpm for about 2 seconds of my 15 minutes run

WILL TRUCK RUN AND DRIVE WITH BODY OFF ?
IF IT DOSE YOUR BODY IS PINCHING A FUEL LINE OR PUTTING A KINK IN THE AIR FILTER TUBE.
MAKE SURE TO SECURE THE FILTER TO THE CARB WITH A ZIP TIE LIKE IN ATTACHED PIC.
HOPE THIS HELPS. I WOULDNT SWEAT THE DIRT ISSUE UNLESS YOU WERE DRIVING AROUND IN THE DIRT WITH NO AIR FILTER .

Thanks It runs perfect without the body. I'll look into that tomorrow (the fuel line pinching etc. )

IDK I just pumped the throttle before throwing the body on, It started working! With the body on
