Hi all
I have a hpi savage x with a 3 awed gearbox in it. My savage is new and only drove a few times .it will not go onto 2 nd or 3 rd please could you help

have you followed the break in process? and if so have you now tuned it correctly? if not this is where you should start. If you have then you may need to adjust the tranny changing timing. It will tell you how to adjust this in your manual and there is a vid on youtube by hpi showing you how. hope this helps

If you have completed the break in process you will be able to start to lean the HSN to gain more performance. Once you do this the engine will be able to reach the RPM's needed for it to change gear. Because the engine is new it will be set very rich to save damage during the break in. When tuning make sure you keep an eye on the temp and don't lean too much.

The engine needs to be tuned properly and then you have to adjust the shift points for second and third gear.


The adjustment screws are on the left side of the tranny under the rubber plug.


If you go to HPI's website, they show detailed video of how to tune a three speed. If I was on my home computer I would send you a link, but I'm on my phone now.



Hope this helps,

J.T.

Is it a used truck with a new motor, or did you install the 3 speed, because the savage X does not come stock with a 3 speed tranny. Hopefully your not expecting to shift into an imaginary gear!

I bought it off ebay. and it came with this 3 speed tranny upgrade.
