    HPI F4.6 Fuel Leak & Discoloured engine head...

    Hey, I've just run my F4.6 Savage XL, its starts up fine, quite quickly despite being a little cold here today, and while I was putting the shell on, I noticed fuel bubbling from under the glow plug. I stopped the engine, took the plug out, gave the washer a wipe and reinstalled it. I then...

    Trashed the clutch shoes.

    So... I fried my clutch. The bell looks fine, and I have a few other things to fix while I'm in there, but I'm wondering what shoes to get. Stock, alloy, or whatever. What are you guys running? Stock Savage X 17/47 gearing.

    Kind of a noob question

    So today my brother and I were bashing. He has a T-Maxx 3.3 and I was running my Savage. I've always noticed, but why is my Savage SOOO much louder? His stock 3.3 with the stock aluminum pipe, my stock whatever 4.1/4.6 with the stock nylon pipe.

    Radio system thoughts.

    So, I read a lot about computer radios, newfangled this and that, telemetry... you know the drill. I'm a simple guy, I don't think I really need to know whether I'm running just shy of Mach 1 or 28 MPH. That being said, I have a mess of RTR radios with my stuff. I dig 2.4, and I REALLY like my...

    Rebuild or new engine?

    Hey guys... I have an older Savage X... I haven't been able to figure out which engine it actually is. The closest I can figure it's a 4.1 or a very early F4.6.

    HPI SF-50WP trouble

    I've put the HPI SF-50WP servo in my Savage XL as a steering servo, only the thing doesn't work very well. It won't go back to neutral and barely turns the axles. However when I remove the link to the servo saver etc, the servo is fine and works and returns to neutral, but as soon as I link the...

    HPI SF-5 Servo issue

    Hi guys, I'm almost at the end of a Savage XL rebuild, however my steering servo seems to be, well, I don't know, broken, possibly, possibly not...

    Savage X SS 4.6- regearing for faster acceleration?

    I know there is a 3-speed transmission and I'm not really sure if that just adds a higher top gear to the 2 speed, but my 2-speed is already faster than I would ever care to have it. Is there a gearset I can purchase to give me quicker acceleration rather than higher top speed?
