You have a Savage? 
Just kidding! With all the hype on your latest project, I had figured the Savage was sitting forgotten in a corner. Glad to hear that is not the case. Let us know how the break in goes and the huge scream of joy we hear from the NorthEast will let the rest know how happy you are with the engine.
Have fun.

But the damn roto start poop the bed on me before it ever even fired up!!!! Man I'm pissed! Does anyone have one of these? If so, I have a BIG question... Do I need to replace the One Way nut with a longer one? or Should I use a spring to keep the one way close to the backplate?So on a good note, its still kind of clean and I almost finished building my Zagi Fixx park flyer last night! Oh the joys........

Zagi at night
Christian, get some chem lights at walmart and fly at night. They have small ones (about 1/8th inch diameter and 1-2 inches long). It's a trip at night. I've done it a few times with my 400X.
Was that Picco .26 the ofna outlaw .26? I'm waiting for someone to get them back in stock, but I'm also lokking at the XTM 24-7. Anyone know if the XTM is a no mod drop in? Was the Picco that way? Thanks.

The Picco just dropped right in! No mods at all! The only thing you want to do is tighten up the motor mount bolts evenly. Failing to do so will not allow you to get it on the mount. Its a TIGHT fit, but, the same bolt pattern as stock. Also, make sure you take out the HSN and LSN and inspect for loose rubber from the o-rings. Also make sure the rings are seated properly. Other than that its a GO! The stock CB, Flywheel, clutch, spacer, clutch nut and bearrings are all a good fit with no play.
I've thought about flying at night, never thought about the chem lights though. I have a 400x and the Fixx now. I'm not confident enough to fly in the dark. Some day though I'm certain I will. I would just have to get 2 different colors so I would know top from bottom and left from right

Cool. I'll probably get the Picco. There's no replacement for displacement. I have all the other mods you listed at the begining, just not the engine (yet). No one around here runs the savage, T-Maxx rules (bah, they're just different), so the only sav-mods I see are online and videos are really hard to find. Is the .26 like crazy power? My 21BB is almost shot. It goes, but it needs some more horses.
When I flew mine at night, I put two on the top centerline, one under the nose and two on each wing at the leading edge (tip and 1/3 span). Make it so you can't see the one under the nose unless you're looking at the bottom and vice versa, but the ones on the wings should always (or nearly so) be seen. The V and the 1 or 2 pattern should get you oriented.
Crap, forgot to mention that I have the hot bodies jump start (same as the HPI, just has a differnt sticker). The only problem I've had is the worn out 1 way. I got my Sav second hand and the pull start was tricky when I got it. The roto/jump start just threw too much torque at the 1 way and it caught every now and again. I oiled it up with some after run oil (smells like marvel mystery oil and is the same color) and it's working ok now (probably won't now that I said something). What was yours doing?
