    Savage XL SS 4.6

    Hi, I'm new to the Forum, but not new to nitro, although I'm likely a novice compared to some :p So, I've literally just an hour or so ago bought a Savage XL SS 4.6 second hand, a picture is somewhere, and everything "seemed" alright, electronics worked, engine turned over etc. When I'd bought...
