was breaking in my savage

[daakeung]

the thing started idling high and the clutch is engaging and the wheels are spinning, what should i do ?

 

[RatzoRC]

Adjust the idle screw.

 

[Lessen]

yeah, turn it counterclockwise about 1/16 at a time untill it doesn't do that

 

[daakeung]

what kind of smoke should i expect ?
and how many tanks i should run it for @ rich settings?

 

[Revo Rancher]

Welcome home! Guess you got it ther ok.

Until you have followed the HPI break in schedule, it is hard to tell you what amount of smoke should be normal. Are all the HPI break in steps completed?

It is not abnormal normal for the wheels to spin SLIGHTLY at idle with the truck off the ground. The wheels will not spin when you put the truck on the ground. If you turn the idle back so far that the wheels stop spinning completely when the truck is off the ground then your idle may be too low and your truck may stall.

You have to experiment to see what works best for you.

Yeah revo ran, got it here safe and sound. Got some guys from Suriname to get me some fuel. But that's till in feb I just finished the gallon I had. I must say, this truck is a blast. First time with a nitro car and it's sweet. I always thought it was hard to get started, but i guess the hard part starts when I have to losen it down.

Oh, Rossb. You're right. it's suppose to spin and so on. becuas i held the wheels and it stopped
but Last night i started it on the ground and it ran away, i had to losen the clutch. I guess the factory settings were a bit off.

Gonna post tomorrow on what date I should get the fuel.

freakin engine head sync burned my hand.

Love the hobby guys

 

[daakeung]

hey, I forgot to ask, how often should I clean, if it only has little sand on it.
Can i just blow it out without taking it aparT?

 

[savagefan04]

yes. just blow it off or use a stiff bristle paint brush to wipe away the sand.

 

[daakeung]

thanks dude, works wonders. Is there a plate that can cover the bottom of the savage like where teh disc brakes are ?

 

[Monkey Wrench]

Yes there is. You'll have to look around, as there are several different styles, etc.

 

[daakeung]

Cheked, but they got a name for it ?

 

[daakeung]

Found it, Skid Plate (center) thanks for all the advice guys.
