These questions may seem stupid but...
What does the exhaust/ muffler inner cone do?
What does it mean if my exhaust is leaking unburnt fuel?
Can carrying the car vertical cause problems?

I have a HPI Savage X 4.6 RTR. Loving it so far.

The cone makes the exhaust a little quieter, but you might notice a little loss of power.
You are running a little too rich.
Not really. I guess you carry it by the bumper. Not a problem.

Thanks for the help. And yes I carry it by the bumper if I have the body on.
One more question. I have read it is not good to transport the truck with fuel in it... Is this bad for the truck? If so how?

Leaving fuel in the kit gums up the tank, fuel line and the carby.

After a race day and I still have fuel in my tank I will take the back pressure line off the tank and take the fuel line to the carby off and put it on the back pressure nipple on the tank. just stops fuel from flowing and staying in the engine. But its only like this until i get home when I drain it.

Remember to use After Run Oil or something like it after your finished for the day to clean out the engine and lube it for the next time you use it.

You don't have to drain the fuel unless you're putting it up for a week or more. Run the last tank of the day till it's empty.
