Well i think i have a new problem. i ran my savage today and that was nice, but the only real power was coming from the front two wheels. i doesn't look like the back ones are doing much work at all. Any suggestions in to what to look into first. Thanks
 
Take a look at where you loose power. Hold the truck down when running, not real hard, and gas it so the tires spin. See where the power is stopping. It will either be inside the rear diff, the rear center axle cups, the outer rear diff cups or a rounded out hex on one of your rear wheels. HPI wheels are known for blowing the hex's.
 
More simply put, take the rear wheels off and see if the hexes are rounded out first.
Take Olds advice after that. He knows what he's talking about.
 
ahhh alas it was an easy fix and I'm a retard and forgot to put the pin in one of the nuts on the rear wheels so it wasn't doing much at all. haha sorry. i got all worried before i even looked at much. thanks tho.
