New savage owner

[Greubin]

Bought a used savage x on Craig's list. Came with tons of extras, 3 sets of wheels/tires, etc. Waiting for UPS to deliver a Dynamite BigRed, clutch, and engine temp gun tomorrow. Very excited to get her runnin'...maybe this weekend!

Hi Greubin,
Welcome to the Savage X club. Enjoy it, they are a blast.
I'm glad I was able to buy an awesome hpi Savage X, and would definitely purchase another one.

Rate it two thumbs up!!

Installed the Big Red today, went out to break in the engine as fate would have it, the dang pull starter broke on the 3rd pull. So..more repairs..maybe try again tomorrow. Here's a few pics.

Pre heat the engine, use a blow dryer or heat gun, this will "loosen" the pinch a little. This will help it start easier and will also put less stress on the new engine components.

Also do not pull that starter to the end of the cord.

Thanks for the great tips.
