how do u guys like ur savages so far

do they break alot?? or are they pretty reliabe

[Stigern]

We both sold em.

Mine because the one-way kept bugging me, rotorstart would just spin freely. Even after changing the problem came back after a few runs.

[dotbadburn]

alright thanks alot!!!wich one is better 3 or 4 tanks?

[Stigern]

Just do 4 tanks then ure sure :P

[dotbadburn]

hi i just wan to ask if i need to repeat my break in procedure if i stop in 2tanks?because i was trying to break-in my savage then after two tanks suddenly the rain fall!!!!!

[Stigern]

No, that shouldn't do anything. Just continue where you left.

@Stigern why didnt u just get a pull start ?

[1RCMASTER1]

how long dose each tank last

@camolads22 Sounds like your just running too lean, at idle and take off you should see some good smoke but not a huge cloud. While full out you should see a trail with good power, if you see little to no smoke you are just making noise frying your engine.

Running on the rich side will make your motor last forever, 1 really lean run can mean never running right again and needing a new 1

my savage is running at a high tempreture how can i adjust it so it isnt so high

[Dec0dog]

@Dec0dog On my 3rd engine now from pushing the limits of the nitrous...but found the RB nozzle 2 works best..or 3 (if ya wanna run hard) Thats about all the 5.9's can handle..(The nos kit is desinged for the Baja..lol)..They run super hard on nos..Just be prepared to blow a few glow plugs if you wanna boost it for too long!...LOL

[Dec0dog]

I got mine doing over 65mph on NOS and 25%nitro running 47x20 gearing..The one way bearing thing has been a problem but only when cold...Quick hit with the heat gun and they come good...Have replaced a fair few parts..The clutch bell needs to be set up perfectly to ensure smooth running but apart from that they have been pretty good..Squatted the shocks to about 1inch ground clearance with std wheels to get it to handle..Beat my mates Jato 3.3 in a drag race over 250ft on nos...Takes a beating!

@Stigern you could have converted to a pull start that is what i did and now i have no problem with my one one-way

[MaxBeejax]

Where is that?

[MsFreighttrain]

@savages are the most reliable cars ever...

why the fuck do people say "you have no idea your doing it wrong" we know its wrong becouse we have done it a few times or alot of times if your like me .. but to someone new to rc it tells them in the dam instructions to do it this way... most of them are only folloing the instruction that came with the car... i myself lernt the hard way that this methood is crap as it fucked my first rc car ..
