Hello, so I've had this HPI savage 21 monster truck for many years. It ran well when it was last running. Which was at least 8 years ago. Yeah I know, bad to let it sit for so long.
Part of why it sat is that I had no fuel or new glow plugs. The other reason is because the clutch inside the transmission needed to be replaced because it always ran in high gear. Anyways, I pulled it out of my garage the other week and my buddy and I start to tear it apart. Come to find out, more things were bad not only in the transmission but overall on the truck.
I've been able to get just about everything I need up to this point so far. I cannot however find a fuel tank. I've got new line, new plugs, a brand new transmission from a lot I got on ebay. I've been wanting to upgrade to a bigger motor, but at the and time I'm wondering if I should just get a new one of the 3.5?
I can post pictures no problem of everything so far. Just haven't taken any. Oh I did convert it from roto start to pull start. Might decide to go back to roto start though. I guess I just need an idea of what everyone else has done over the years.
