Me too.. And visible smoke and a good sound.. If you have a decent tune on an engine in summer, all you should really have to do is richen the HSN in winter a bit..

LOL This poor man is probably so confused he went and got a savage flux instead

Nope lol im a nitro guy. Although i had a savage flux at one time nd i liked it but i love the sound of a nitro too much to go back to electric lol. I actually got the savage slightly broke in today with no problems. Everything went so smooth and worked out fine. I got about 5 tanks in until i lost a wheel nut lol.

Nice!!! 3 SPEED UPGRADE now!!!!!!!

I actually like the 2 speed. Its pretty fast. Is the 3 speed really that much faster?

When you start to make power yeah, I know these new 4.6 savages wheelie box stock, I'd spring for a tuned pipe that isn't plastic though and hold on the 3 speed

Way back when when I had a Savage XSS, I found the 3-speed to ultimately be more fiddly than it was worth, so ended up just preferring the 2-speed.

Ran my LST with LRP ZR.30X today btw - .. Holy crap.. First time really going for it, and man it was out of control.. Wheelying like crazy, flipping over, etc.. Tuned like a dream too.

The 3 speed in my XL was pretty cool. You just have to find a compromise, what shifts well on the street won't shift well in the grass. The engine may struggle to shift gears off road if you tune it onroad.

Yeah i want to get a good pipe. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe some orher performance upgrades?
I drove my savage today and started experiencing some radio issues it was like the system would pretty much reset itself. It would work good then all of a sudden nothing no steering or throttle/brake and then all of a sudden bam there it was again. But it was non stop it would never come out of it. Just kept doing it. Has anyone had any issues with these hpi radios? Its the hpi tf-40 module with the failsafe. I tried putting new batteries in the radio and in the truck. No changes. When i got the truck the radio was already bound to then reciever so i didnt have to bind it. All i did was set the failsafe up.
.

I upgraded to a futaba fasst system and havent had any issues with it. Try removing the fail safe and see if that works. If it does try re-configuring the fail safe. I have never had to set one up so I don't know how they operate. Can you change the voltage settings on it?

Im not sure. It started doing it before i setup the failsafe which is what made me want the failsafe active lol. I got nervous. Im pretty sure its just a bad reciever or radio which is why i am looking into upgrading.. Ive heard that most rtr models come with bad radio and rx's

I vote for the Futaba 3pmx

THS,or a vantage..balls to the ball kind of guy?? ERCM SIDE BLEED.. you can fiddle with gearing, and buy a better air filter and an exhaust cooler, colder plug and run 30% nitro..

this is my new hpi savage x 4.6
